True to her words, Autumn had started restructuring her entire life around her new goals, one of which included getting background information on Sebastian Thorne.

She had previously uncovered that he had lived in America for far longer than he had admitted to anyone who had asked him, a gap in his timeline that raised every alarm in her head.

“Sorry we are late!” a lively voice broke through the quiet of her space she was occupying.

“Yeah, well, someone just had to make a stop on the way,” the

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 197: Looming Presences

    The doors of the estate burst open as Sophia walked in with a confident step, a clear pep in her stride. Her eyes raked over the mansion, taking in every detail of its grand architecture.I can’t believe it, she thought, almost squealing with excitement. Her hand glided along the polished guardrail of the staircase as she began to climb.She had barely reached the landing when two maids stepped in front of her and bowed.“Miss, what may we help you with?” one of them asked politely. “The master isn’t entertaining visitors right now.”Damn it. I came here to comfort him after everything and slide in now that he’s single again. This is my chance. Seize the opportunity and become Mrs. Kingston, Sophia cursed internally.“That’s not an issue at all,” she said with a smile. “Is Chloe around?”I can use Chloe to get closer to the family. Let her put in a good word for me and bridge the gap between me and Eric, she thought, the smile never leaving her face as she plotted her next move.The m

    “I still don’t get why you want to attend this thing with me,” Autumn said, frowning as she carefully caressed her injured arm with her good hand.“Didn’t I say I would help you?” Ezra replied, a note of righteous indignation in his voice at her continued refusal.“It’s not that… it’s just—” She bit her tongue, swallowing the rest of the sentence.“It’s just what?” He turned to face her as the car stopped at a red light.“It’s nothing,” she muttered, turning away to stare out the window.“As I said, I’ll still help no matter what.” His hands tightened on the steering wheel. A few minutes later, they parked, and both of them got out.“Thanks. I appreciate what you’re doing for me,” Autumn said as she walked around to his side. The wind howled through her clothes.“Don’t mention it,” he said dismissively, opening the door for her. Then, out of nowhere, he added, “You know… I could still help you get custody of your child.”Autumn froze.“What do you mean?” she asked, not fully understan

It’s from that small ba

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 194: The Ministry Blueprint

    Autumn had returned late in the night, the front door clicking shut softly behind her as she stepped into the quiet apartment. The glow of the city skyline filtered through the blinds, casting long shadows across the living room. She moved slowly, her aching body protesting every step, and sat down heavily on the dining chair, staring directly at the precise mash of papers arranged in front of her on the tabletop by Anita.She rested her good arm on the wood, her eyes lowering to the bright screen of her laptop. She sat down staring at the unread message sitting at the top of her inbox. It was the application forms for the ministry competition, the exact career milestone, the very same opportunity she had been relentlessly pursuing for months to reach. It was now sitting right within her grasp, just a single click away.“But what good is it now?” her voice, even though soft and raspy from crying, rang out like an echo in the quiet living space.She leaned back against the hard chair,

    “Eric, we need to talk,” she spoke again, calling out his name as she took another step further into the office, the door clicking shut behind her.“I don't have anything to talk to you about. If you are done with Finn, see yourself out,” he uttered coldly at her.; his eyes never strayed for a second from the document resting in his hand, his pen poised over the page.“Yes, we do! We need to talk about the custody arrangements,” she said, planting her feet firmly on the carpet and standing her ground against his overwhelming presence. “I cannot keep on coming here whenever you feel like it, whenever you decide to call me! Eric, I am not your maid. He is your son as well.”“So what you are saying is your nonexistent job is more important than your own son?”He finally fixed his gaze on her, dropping the document in his hand onto the desk with a thud. His eyes locked onto hers with an intensity.“I never said that!” she hissed at him, her chest heaving as her fists clenched tightly at h

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 192: Home Sweet Home

    The taxi had stopped in front of the estate gates. Autumn diligently paid the driver, counting out the exact bills with her right hand, before exiting the vehicle into the damp afternoon air. Her mind was a chaotic mess over returning to this place so soon after leaving.Despite the fact that she wanted her son to be here in a secure environment, knowing how what she was doing was and the risk it posed to Finn's life, she couldn't bear being far from him;distant from him while threats lurked around them.She lifted her chin, taking an intake of breath, and walked in through the tall iron gates with her head held high, even though her heart and mind were both restless and in deep turmoil with each other. Every step across the gravel driveway felt like walking into a trap, but she kept her pace steady.As she crossed the threshold into the grand foyer, a few maids rushed past her in a flurry, their faces pale with anxiety. ‘What was that about?’ she hummed softly to herself in thought,

    Autumn POVI sat down on the sofa, staring at the TV. A broadcast of an interview was playing on the screen, the bright lights of the television reflecting in my eyes. The words being said echoed in the vast, space of the living room. It felt like the house was too big now, especially with the

    We had finally returned home after spending three grueling days at the hospital. The sterile smell of antiseptic seemed to have seeped into my skin, and the constant beep of monitors still echoed in my ears. Finn was much better, his laughter returning as we walked through the front doors of the es
