If she hadn't secretly left back then or if she hadn't hidden the existence of William from Adam, might the outcome have been different?
At that time, she was convinced that Adam would never allow her to have his child, which is why she panicked and fled; but what if that wasn't the case?
Elly's mind was in disarray; she firmly believed that her decision to divorce Adam back then wasn't wrong, yet, whenever she thought of her son's lost and bewildered eyes, she felt she had made a tremendous mistake.
"Daddy, Mommy, I'm dressed now, and I've washed my face and brushed my teeth; let's go."
William's excited voice pulled Elly back from her thoughts.
She quickly stepped away from Adam's embrace and went over to her son, straightening his clothes a bit, and said,
"All right, let's go downstairs for breakfast first."
She was very good at controlling her emotions; in just a moment, the loss that had been evident before was invisible now.
