Waiting for the trial felt like an eternity, yet two months flew by in the blink of an eye.

When | saw Nicholas again, it was on the shaded path outside the courthouse. As Douglas opened the car door

for me, | noticed him standing under a large tree, quietly gazing at me.

He felt inexplicably nervous, his fingers trembling at his sides. Nicholas tried to control his emotions, walking

towardin the way he had rehearsed countless times. He aimed to make it seem like a chance meeting. He

took big strides. By the t| got out of the car, he was already in front of me.

"We should head inside. It's almost time."

| could clearly see the sweat dripping from his forehead. The heat was unbearable, and the deafening sound of

cicadas filled the air.

My calm demeanor seemed to bring him back to reality. He suddenly remembered his purpose today. He wanted

to see for Daniel what kind of woman Frances was, despite having her by his side for over a decade. Nicholas's

expression shifted rapidly, and the redness in his eyes gradually faded.

He caught up withand said, "You've put on a little weight. That's good. Take care of yourself."

"Thank you. I will." | walked swiftly ahead of him, coldly putting space between us.

seat. His dark eyes felt like a massive net. No matter how much distance I tried to create between us, | couldn't

escape the desire he made no effort to hide.

Douglas noticed my discomfort and switched seats with me. | finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Frances confessed to her crimes without hesitation. Nicholas had likely conducted his own investigation during

this time, so everything proceeded smoothly. However, from the moment Nicholas entered the courtroom,

Frances began to look around as if searching for someone.

She admitted to multiple charges, and her good attitude during the confession led to a life sentence. As she

cried in her small corner, Yasmine questioned whether had finally found her conscience, remembering her late

husband.

She shook her head and turned to Nicholas, shouting, "Tell Claudia to visitwhen she has time! | want to hear

her call'mom' again!"

Her desperate voice echoed throughout the courtroom. The next moment, she was forcibly subdued by the

authorities.

Nicholas suddenly stood up, instinctively moving forward a few steps. After all, this was the woman he had called

"Mom" for over a decade.

The once noble and beautiful Mrs. Hawk was now being restrained in a chair. Anyone would feel a pang of

sympathy at that sight.

| put on my sunglasses and slipped

away amidst the chaos. From a distance, Yasmine watchedbefore lowering her head to catch her breath and

suppress the bitterness in her heart.

We had agreed she would visit when the baby turned one month old.
