Chapter 57

Julie:

Two weeks have passed since our return, and the tension between my parents and me has eased slightly. Mom and Dad tried convincing me to come back home, emphasizing that it was a great idea. However, I resisted, leading them to eventually give up. Alex and I have been doing remarkably well during this time, with his protective nature shining through, especially concerning my well-being and Angel's. Angel has even started calling him "daddy," a heartwarming development that fills our home with joy.

Despite the peace we've found, we've decided to face the challenges and return home, armed with some significant news. My nerves are on edge, particularly due to the potential hostility from my sister Sara. I worry she might harm my unborn child, and even though I'm willing to face her anger, the safety of my baby remains my top priority. Alex is steadfast in his support, promising to stand by my side throughout. Still, uncertainty lingers as we prepare for this pivotal moment.
