Chapter 841

"You." Brandon's voice was even more charismatic in the darkness. "I was nowhere to be found, and you still decided to keep this baby." He was saying I was being silly for doing so. "I don't know if I'm being foolish, but all I know is that this is my baby. He found his way to me, and I want to love him with all my heart." I never thought of the baby in my belly as something I was sharing with someone else. I felt like he belonged to me. "Mae, from now on, we'll love him together." Brandon kissed me again. "Mae, thank you." I didn't know if he was thanking me for trusting him or for keeping the baby, but it didn't matter anymore. After everything I had been through, I suddenly felt at peace. Love, hate, conflicts, and power struggles—none of these truly mattered. The greatest achievement in life was to find inner peace. Everything else was extra. When I woke up the next morning, Brandon was no longer by my side. The feeling of him disappearing again made my heart skip a beat.
