Chapter 1803
Not long after chugging down her milk, Trista fell asleep again.
Baillie took a work call midway through and then dipped out.
Paige sat on the bed, sounding a bit helpless, “Before I got pregnant, I always saw these posts online from new
moms saying that after giving birth, their husbands only had eyes for the baby, completely ignoring them. But why
is it the complete opposite with me? If he continues to not like our child, what am I supposed to do?” Paige looked
helplessly at Rosalynn.
Despite her best efforts to soothe him, Baillie was stubborn.
“Give him some more time, just a tad bit more Rosalynn comforted Paige, “Once it hits him that he’s this little one’s
dad, he’ll come around.”
Paige let out a sigh, nodding her head.
“Alright, lay it on me! How’d you convince Jacob?” Paige changed the subject at lightning speed
Rosalynn pondered for a bit.

“Then who should take the credit? Paige asked, surprised.
Rosalynn looked at Paige. “Erica”
When they left the restaurant, Jacob didn’t cut Shawn any slack.
He demanded that Shawn choose between bankruptcy and losing his loved ones.
But..
When he randomly caught sight of Shawn’s wife and daughter in the lobby, the look in his eyes when he saw the
woman, it was as if his soul was shattered in an
instant
Rosalynn had never seen Erica in her younger days.
Nor did she think Shawn’s wife bore any resemblance to Erica
But she guessed, in that moment, Jacob must have seen something in Shawn’s wife that reminded him of Erica.
Even if it was just a fleeting moment, it was enough to shake Jacob’s resolve.
He couldn’t bear to see someone who resembled Erica, being forced to lase her husband and family.
So, when they got back in the car, Rosalynn didn’t say much else
Because she knew, this time, Shawn survived by clinging to his obsession with Erica.
“Looking back, it’s quite ironic. His misfortune was precisely because he loved Erica, and because of this, Jacob
didn’t push too far
Listening to this made Paige uncomfortable.
“Jacob’s heartless, but Shawn’s even worse!”
“Poor Erica got the short end of the stick. She didn’t do anything, yet was tormented for sixteen years by her sister,
her lover, and the man who loved her but couldn’t have her, Rosalynn shook her head and said, “Luckily, God and
sent her Larkin,
“Larkin’s just too principled. If he had confessed his feelings to her ten years ago, Erica would’ve been happy by
now!”
“Do you really think it would’ve been that simple? Rosalynn propped her chin and looked at Paige with a cocked
head.
Paige thought for a moment, then smacked her forehead, “I almost forgot, back then Enca only had eyes for Jacob.

“So, don’t rush things,” Rosalynn leaned back in the couch, “Time will give the right answer,”
Hearing this, Paige turned to look at her sleeping daughter.
“You’re right, my angelic little girl is also the right answer given by time, isn’t she?” There was a sparkle in Paige’s
eyes.
Baillie, was also the right answer given by time
The Scott family.
Enca sat across from Larkin, showing him photos and videos of her cat, “Isn’t it cute?”
“Very cute, do you want it? Larkin asked
“Actually, it’s already here” Enca licked her dry lips. “This cat was supposed to be mine but due to some unexpected
circumstances, someone else took care of it for
about a month
“Jacob?” Larkin spat out the name
Enca’s eyes popped open, “Did Rosulynn tell you?”
“I guessed,” Larkin looked at her, “Aside from Jacob, if this cat was taken care of by someone
else, you wouldn’t think I’d mind, and you wouldn’t go out of your way to explain for so long.”
