"I just want to apologise, I am sorry for ruining our relationship. I apologise for every pain I may have hurt you. Nick I will be leaving tomorrow and I hope you forgive me and don't let my bad character ruin the relationship you and my father have. he sees you as a son and maybe I just wanted more but I am deeply sorry for everything" Alice apologized to Nick
"can I talk to Joan alone" Alice said but Nick was hesitant but Joan convinced him
"Joan, I must say you're really lucky to have him. he loves you so much and I am glad I got to witness that a man can actually love with everything he has and has not. I hope you can make him happy. I saw Nick broken and almost died, I saw him being in his Lowest maybe I became a little bit concerned for him that I thought you were not the right match but then when I saw his love for you I became jealous, I thought you were really stupid to let a guy like him go, I wanted him to love me like that but I guess it was a wishful thinking. I am sorry and I hope you cherish him this time. if you let him down he might die for real this time, hold him with care. please forgive me" Alice said
and they forgave her and she indeed left the next day
indeed Nick took days off work trusting Mr Luke and Fred to take care of the business, he only worked on issues that were on emergencies that required his assistance.
he spent the rest taking care of Joan and strengthening their love and bond.
Joan was indeed happy, she had the perfect husband and soon a child born of love, what else did she want.
both their parents were so happy to hear the news of their pregnancy and never failed to check up on them.
