EMILY'S POV
I was still a little shocked as I watched Christian settle into my home comfortably.
His casual charm and confidence worked on the boys and they seemed comfortable around him chattering as they finished their meal.
I had spent so many years guarding myself against him and now here he was, slipping back into my life as though nothing was ever wrong.
I was still a little surprised that he remembered my favourite food even after all this time. Christian was always surprising me.
The children all ate happily, their laughter filling the room. The scene before me was something I never thought I would ever experience, Christian, the children and I at the dining table together like a family.
Christian suddenly declared that he was willing to be their father to me but I was more unsettled by the response of the children as they smiled at him, like they actually wanted him to be their father.
