Chapter 520: Tell Them The Truth!
The kitchen door creaked open again, and Sophia stepped inside, her eyes still slightly red from her earlier tears but her face peaceful. Jackson followed close behind, his hand briefly touching her shoulder in a gesture of quiet support."Something smells amazing," Sophia said, her voice soft but warm.Hailey beamed. "Cinnamon rolls. Fresh out of the oven." She pulled the baking sheet from the oven, the golden-brown rolls glistening with icing. "Grab a plate."Celestine appeared in the doorway moments later, drawn by the aroma and the laughter. She still looked tired, but there was a lightness in her movements that hadn't been there before. "Did someone say cinnamon rolls?"Within minutes, the small kitchen was crowded with Harts and their loved ones, all reaching for rolls, passing plates, and filling the space with easy laughter. James told a terrible joke that made Nancy groan. Andrew stole a bite of Hailey's roll and got his hand slapped. Jacqueline discovered she had a competit
Chapter 519: Kitchen Pettiness!
All three of them turned to find James standing in the kitchen doorway, his hair still tousled from sleep, his eyes blinking in the bright light. He looked from Nancy to Andrew to Hailey with the confused expression of someone who had woken up in the middle of a conversation.Nancy's face lit up. "James! Perfect timing." She crossed to him and pressed a kiss to his cheek, leaving a faint smear of flour. "We're making snacks. Your favorite."James blinked again, then sniffed the air. Recognition dawned on his face. "Are those—are you making cinnamon rolls?""Among other things." Nancy beamed, pulling him into the kitchen. "Sit. You look like you need sugar."Andrew snorted. "He always looks like he needs sugar. It's his default state."James ignored him, sliding onto a stool at the small kitchen island. "I'm not going to argue with that assessment. What did I miss?"Hailey slid the baking sheet into the small oven and turned to face them, wiping her hands on a towel. "Not much. Evans
Chapter 518: I Just Heard My Name!
Evans opened his mouth to respond, but Lorraine held up a hand."I need some space. I need to think." She turned and walked toward the trees at the edge of the clearing, her steps quick and determined.Evans stood frozen on the porch, his heart pounding, his mind racing. He hadn't meant to hurt her. He hadn't even realized what he was doing. But Lorraine's words echoed in his mind, and he couldn't escape the truth in them.He had been so focused on saving Samantha that he had forgotten to reassure the woman who stood beside him every day.He looked toward the trees, where Lorraine had disappeared, then back at the cottage, where Samantha slept peacefully, unaware of the turmoil she had caused.Two women. Two loves. One impossible choice.He didn't know what to do. He didn't know how to fix this.But he knew one thing for certain: he couldn't lose Lorraine. Not now. Not ever.Evans took a step toward the trees, then stopped. His legs felt heavy, his mind clouded with uncertainty. What
Chapter 517: Women Can Be Dramatic!
"You're looking better," Peniel observed as he walked into Joanne's room that morning, a routine that had become a disturbance to Joanne.Joanne ignored the pleasantry. "How much longer am I going to be here? I need to meet Jackson. I need to tell him everything I know about the facility, about my father, about Don Lewis's plans. Every hour we waste—"Peniel held up a hand, stopping her. "You're not going anywhere."Joanne stared at him, confusion flickering across her face. "What do you mean? I have information they need. I can help them stop—""You can help us." Peniel's voice was calm, almost conversational. "But not by running off to join the Harts. You'll be staying here. With me."Joanne's blood ran cold. She tried to read his expression, but his face revealed nothing. "I don't understand."Peniel leaned back in his chair, studying her like a chess player contemplating his next move. "Your father and I have a long history, Joanne. A score that has gone unsettled for many years.
Chapter 516: Destiny Is Unpredictable!
Sofia looked back at the cottage, where laughter and conversation drifted through the open window. They were her family—Jackson, Jacqueline, Celestine. Bound by blood, by the Hart Convergence, by everything they had survived together.But she still felt like an outsider. Like she had stumbled into something that should have been theirs alone.A soft footstep on the grass behind her made her turn.Jackson stood there, his expression gentle. "Mind if I join you?"Sophia shrugged, not trusting her voice.Jackson sat beside her on the bench, leaving a comfortable distance between them. For a long moment, neither spoke. They simply watched the garden, the sky, the first birds beginning their morning songs.Finally, Jackson spoke. "I felt it. Through the bond. You're happy about Samantha, but there's something else. Something heavier."Sophia's eyes glistened. "I don't know what's wrong with me. I should be celebrating. We saved her. We did something incredible. But I just feel..." She trai
Chapter 515: Sleep Like Death!
Six hours passed in the quiet cottage.James paced by the window for the dozenth time, staring out at the golden-tinged sky. Andrew sat at the small kitchen table, nursing a cup of cold coffee. The four Harts hadn't stirred.James finally broke the silence. "Six hours. They've been asleep for six hours. Is that normal? Should we wake them?"Miles sat in his worn armchair by the fireplace, a blanket over his knees, his ancient eyes fixed on the sleeping forms scattered around his home. "They are not merely asleep, James. They are recovering. The energy they expended to save Samantha was immense—far beyond anything they have ever attempted. Their bodies and minds need time to replenish."Andrew looked up from his coffee. "But Samantha's awake now. She's going to be okay. Don't they need to know that?"Miles smiled gently. "They know. The bond they share allows them to sense each other's well-being, even in sleep. They can feel that Samantha is safe. That knowledge aids their recovery.
