Months had passed since Adrian and Emily had rekindled their relationship. They had slowly but surely built a life together, though still keeping their son a secret from the world. Adrian had been nothing but supportive, but Emily still carried the weight of their past.
One evening, as they sat together in their private study, Adrian turned to her with a serious expression.
"Emily, it's time we tell the world. I'm tired of hiding him from everyone," he said softly, his voice firm but filled with determination.
Emily's breath hitched. "Are you sure?" Her heart raced as she gazed at him. "The world isn't ready for this, Adrian. What about your company? Your reputation?"
Adrian took her hands in his, his gaze unyielding. "I don't care about any of that anymore. What matters is our son. And you. We can't live in the shadows anymore."
For the first time in months, Emily felt the weight she had been carrying lift. Maybe, just maybe, the world could accept their love, their son, and their family.
