"How boring," Lena grumbled.
Not wanting to disappoint her, Aaron relented. He opened the car door, used the frto push himself up, and
joined her on the roof with a graceful leap.
Lena's mood brightened instantly. She reached out and playfully tapped his forehead. "Uncle, you're so
obedient."
"You're just a drunk lunatic," Aaron muttered, grabbing her arm to keep her steady.
Lena rested her head on his shoulder. "Uncle, tella story..."
"Once upon a time; there was a little girl who dreamed of visiting the moon. Every night, she prayed and wished,
until one day, her sincerity caught the attention of a celestial maiden in the moon palace...
"I don't want to hear that one!" Lena interrupted, shaking her head in protest. "You toldthat story when | was

"Then what story do you want to hear?" Aaron's deep voice carried a soothing resonance in the quiet night, rich
and magnetic.
Lena closed her eyes slightly. "Tellabout your love story, Uncle."
"Are you sure you want to hear it?" he asked softly.
"Mm-hmm. So many girls like you, Uncle. | want to know who the first girl you ever liked was," she murmured,
her voice tinged with drowsiness.
Aaron gazed into the night. "The girl I like doesn't have a 'first'... because there's only ever been one. She's
adorable, beautiful, and the first t| met her..."
As he finished his story, Lena had already fallen into a peaceful slumber.
Aaron chuckled softly, brushing his cheek gently against the top of her head before scooping her up and carrying
her home.
When Lena woke up, she found herself in her own soft bed. Rolling over, fragmented memories from the night
before flashed in her mind. She groaned, pulling the blanket over her head.
She knew she was a terrible drunk, but she hadn't realized it was this bad. Dancing on top of a car? Acting wild?
How was she supposed to face anyone now?
Quietly, she slipped out of bed and peeked through the door. The living room was empty- no sign of Aaron. She
exhaled in relief.

After today, she'd have to find a good excuse to avoid coming back here.

Later that day, Keira had a prenatal checkup scheduled. Naturally, she trusted no one but Lena, her expert best
friend. But when she tried to register under her name, she was informed Lena had swapped shifts. "Where are
you?" Keira called her directly.
"Uh... at the hospital," Lena replied, clearing her throat.
"You're at the hospital but not in the clinic? Don't lie to me," Keira shot back.

"I'm really at the hospital. In the underground parking lot," Lena admitted reluctantly. She had only just arrived.
"Why are you late?" Keira asked, cutting straight to the point.
Lena wanted to explain that it wasn't her fault. Aaron had turned off her alarm and even called in to get her shift
covered. At this rate, she was sure she wouldn't win any Employee of the Year" awards. With all her late arrivals,
early departures, and absences recently, she could barely look her colleagues in the eye.
"Let's talk when we meet," Lena said quickly before hanging up.
As Keira put her phone away, she turned to Hayden, who was carrying her medical documents along with the
breakfast and milk he had prepared for her. "Something's off with Lena."
"What could be off?" Hayden asked casually, though he kept his tone gentle as he supported Keira.
Just as Keira was about to respond, she caught sight of a familiar figure in the distance. She nudged Hayden and
gestured toward the person.
The moment Hayden saw who it was, his expression darkened. Without a word, he started striding in that
direction.
"Wait," Keira said, grabbing his arm to stop him.
