Maya blinked in surprise at his request. “Huh? Lock the door? What if a nurse comes in later?”

Cayden flashed a sly, almost devilish grin. “That’s exactly why we should lock it—to make sure no one interrupts. I thought we could have a little pillow talk.”

As he spoke, he got out of bed and moved over to the window, slowly pulling the curtains shut. The golden sunlight that had flooded the room vanished, replaced by a soft, muted glow that filled the space with a suggestive, almost intimate atmosphere.

Maya understood what Cayden was implying. Her cheeks flushed slightly, a mix of hesitation and awareness flickering across her delicate features. Yet, despite her reservations, she quietly turned the lock on the door.

She walked over to the bed and sat down gently. “Cayden, I’m truly sorry my husband hurt you. Are your fingers still in pain?”

    Although Renee hadn’t mentioned any names directly, it was painfully obvious to everyone that her biting remark was aimed squarely at Ethan. Ethan was about to leave with Clara, but those words stopped him cold. He turned slightly, his expression darkening. To him, Renee was just stirring up trouble.

Hmph! Cayden will take care of our child. He’ll buy the crib, won’t you, honey?” Cayden responded promptly, “Of course I will.” Then Maya turned to him sweetly and asked, “Are there baby cribs on the upper floor? Let’s go check them out.

    Ethan gave a small, calm smile as he accepted the incoming video call. Almost instantly, the screen lit up with the image of an older gentleman—clearly past his prime, with silver-streaked hair and a relaxed demeanor. “Hey, Mr. Harris...” Ethan greeted respectfully, his tone warm. Harris was the man’s first name, or at least the one Ethan always used when speaking to him—an informal familiarity that hinted at their past relationship. “Ethan, my boy! It’s been ages since we last saw each other.” Harris smiled fondly, then added apologetically, “I’m so sorry—I dozed off earlier and missed your call. I didn’t mean to keep you waiting.” Ethan responded with polite sincerity, “No worries at all, sir. I shouldn’t have called so late—I didn’t mean to interrupt your rest.” “Come on now,” Harris waved it off with a chuckle, “don’t be so formal. You don’t know how much I’ve missed you, kid! Haha, it’s good to see your face again.” Ethan laughed along with him. “I’ve missed you too
