In the morning, Brian went to complete the registration for their baby’s birth. As he was about to head back to
the room, he overheard a conversation that made him stop in his tracks.
“Rachel, now that you and Brian have a child, have you considered marriage?” Yvonne's voice was gentle,
probing.
“No,” Rachel responded firmly, the words unyielding. “Marriage isn’t something I'm contemplating. | made it

Yvonne sighed deeply, her voice laced with a hint of resignation. She didn’t press the matter further.

Before Brian could retreat into his thoughts, his phone rang, breaking the silence. It was Ronald, his voice filled

Ronald, caught off guard, paused before responding, unsure if he had heard him correctly. “But you...”
“I said no,” Brian interrupted firmly. “I'm not proposing.” With that, he ended the call abruptly. If Rachel wasn’t
ready, how could he possibly add to her burden?
Over the next three years, Brian and Rachel embraced their roles as Dora's parents. While Rachel lived with their
daughter, Brian stayed in his own home, but he was a constant presence in their lives, visiting regularly and
