A Billionaire Abandoned His Wife — Ten Years Later, He Saw Her on a Plane With Twin Daughters
Chapter 11
A year passed.
The twins were ten.
They had two homes now.
Elena’s apartment.
And Adrian’s renovated countryside house.
Adrian had changed his priorities.
The company was still successful.
But his life no longer revolved around work.
He attended school events.
Soccer games.
Science fairs.
He learned how to braid hair because Mia asked.
He learned how to bake because Ava insisted.
He became the father he should have been from the beginning.
Elena watched quietly.
One evening, Adrian found her sitting outside.
“You’re thinking.”
“Always.”
He sat beside her.
“What about?”
“Us.”
He waited.
“I’ve spent years being angry.”
“I know.”
“I don’t think I’m angry anymore.”
He smiled.
“That’s good.”
“But I’m scared.”
“Of what?”
“Of trusting you again.”
He took a breath.
“Then trust me slowly.”
She looked at him.
“How?”
“One day at a time.”
He didn’t reach for her.
He let her decide.
After several seconds, Elena placed her hand on his.
He squeezed it gently.
Nothing more.
That was enough.
