Chapter 455 Reliable Father

• Ariana's POV:
• After a long night of quiet reflection, I came to terms with Stefan's indifference toward the baby. I threw myself into caring for her, every waking moment devoted to her needs. It was enough.

• The house felt different now—alive with the sound of a baby's cry, the air thick with the scent of milk. Kiera, our ever-curious dog, couldn't seem to get enough of the new addition. Every time the baby cried, Kiera was the first to rush to the crib, spinning in circles like she couldn't decide whether to comfort her or just watch.
