“Grandma Emily!”
Then she turned her bright eyes toward Hudson and Bert.
“Grandpa Bert!”
“Daddy Hudson!”

Hudson’s face began to soften, but the expressions on Bert and Emily’s faces turned to stone.
Emily immediately shoved Cortney away and corrected her sharply.
“Who are you calling ‘Grandma’? What kind of nonsense is this?”
Bert looked at Amara, his expression growing darker by the second.
“Did you teach her to say
that?”
Amara was blindsided. The blood drained from her face as she trembled, looking at Hudson for help.
“Hudson…”
Hudson immediately moved to shield Amara, pulling Cortney close to his side.
“Dad, Mom, it’s just a name. Why are you being so difficult? Ronald was her father, and you watched both him and Amara grow. What’s wrong with her calling you Grandpa and Grandma?”
The sight made Emily’s blood boil. Her chest heaved as she tried to speak, but the rage was so great she couldn’t get the words out.
It took several seconds for her to find her voice.
“You… you…”
She pointed a shaking finger at Hudson.
“Fine. She’s Ronald’s daughter. ‘Grandpa’ and ‘Grandma’ are one thing. But ‘Daddy’? You’re letting another man’s child call you ‘Daddy’ while your own child is dead? What the hell is wrong with you?”

The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Her face was a mottled purple.
“How could you be this foolish?”
Hudson took a deep breath.
“Mom, it’s just a title. I was going to have her change it once our baby was born.”
Unfortunately, before he could do anything, Jade had ended the pregnancy.

Thinking of the child that would never be, Hudson looked at Jade, a faint sorrow in his eyes.
“You b*stard!”
Bert roared and delivered a sharp slap to Hudson’s face.
Hudson’s head snapped to the side. Seeing the vivid red marks on his cheek, Amara stepped up beside him, her eyes welling with tears as she looked at Bert.
“Sir, if you don’t like the names, I’ll have her change them. But Hudson is your son. How can you strike him?”
Bert shot her a murderous glare.
“I’m disciplining my own son. You have no right to speak!”
Amara whimpered and tucked herself closer to Hudson.
Bert’s expression was as cold as ice.
“I’m not going to play games with you anymore.”
He stared directly at Amara, his sharp eyes cutting through her act.
“I don’t know what your end game is, or why you’re clinging to my son like a leech. but your presence is a disgrace to his marriage and a stain on the Walter name.
“If you have a shred of sense, you’ll take your daughter and disappear. If you don’t, I’ll call Arthur Faith and have him fly back from abroad to collect his granddaughter and daughter-in- law himself!”
“No!”

At the mention of the Faith patriarch, Amara’s composure shattered. Her voice was a sharp shriek, her features twisting in panic.
“You can’t call him!”
The room went deathly silent.
No one expected her to react with such terror.
It was as if she were terrified of Arthur finding her.
Jade watched the scene unfold, her mind racing.
Amara’s reaction is anything but normal.
It seemed her move today was the right one.
The eyes of everyone in the room made Amara realize she’d overreacted. Fearing she’d raised their suspicions, she quickly tried to backpedal.
“I… I just mean he’s so old. Making him fly halfway across the world… if anything happened to him, it would be a tragedy. I don’t want the Walters to have that on their conscience.”
Bert’s eyes narrowed into slits.
