"Debbie! I love you so much," Caroline said, hugging Deborah. "Thanks to you, my schedule is now full for these first few months."

"It was a pleasure to help: you deserve it."

"Thanks, but I'm still very angry with you, you terrible friend," Caroline pouted.

Deborah looked at her in confusion.

"Come o

on, don't play dumb. Why didn't you tell me you could talk already?"

"Oh, that... It was supposed to be a surprise because I was practicing and planned to surprise you all at a special dinner," Deborah explained, embarrassed. "But hearing someone call my son a bastard made me lose my composure."

"Well, since you put it that way, I forgive you," Caroline said, letting out a sigh. "That woman is incredible... she was the mistress, faked a pregnancy, and still thinks she has the right to call someone else's child a bastard... god, you really have to be. ugh... well, let's forget that. So, let me hear your voice again," Caroline said, looking at her with amusement.

""Caroline is my best friend."

"Ahh! Your voice is lovely, though it still sounds a bit strange.

"I've just started talking: don't expect miracles yet." Deborah said, blushing a little at the criticism.

"Right, sorry. But hey, with some practice, you could start singing soon."

"Hm... I know I'll reach my goal of speaking well by the time James is born."

"Of course, my friend. Well, how about we celebrate our successes with a delicious yogurt ice cream?" Caroline suggested, pointing to the shop nearby.

Deborah nodded, and together they went for dessert while continuing their chat.

As they walked away, Nicholas watched them from the window of Jayden's house.

Seeing their smiles, he also smilled, noticing how special their friendship was.

"My niece is the best," he commented as he turned to sit back on the couch next to Jayden.

"Their friendship is something to envy because it's very rare to replace friends who are so loyal, kind, and sincere," Jayden said, smiling and looking up at the girls as they crossed the street, holding hands.

"I knew I could trust her to be Deborah's friend to support her in silence."

"Now that I think about it, technically, they're cousins," Jayden said with amusement, as it meant Caroline was his distant relative-in-law.

"By the way, has she contacted you yet?" Nicholas asked, becoming serious.

"Not yet," Jayden said, letting out a sigh. "Remember, she said it would take a week."

"I know, and the deadline is almost up."

"Don't worry, Nicholas. Her reputation precedes her, and she always meets her deadlines, whether the tasks are good or bad."

"Ah... yes... you're right, but I'm already frustrated because Christian and the detective have continued insisting on that topic, and that miserable person has refused to give us any information."

"Yes, and god... what a family. They all have criminal records," Jayden said, making a face. "That family is

rotten."

"Indeed... the son is a rapist and extortionist, with multiple investigation files here and in the neighboring city... I doubt he'll be out anytime soon," Nicholas said. "The girl is a thief; when we completed the Inventory of the house, we discovered many stolen jewelry pieces and cloned credit cards in her room, which, when compared with the bank records, were reported as stolen cards."

"And the main couple has many counts of fraud on their record, confirmed by their accomplices who sold them out to reduce their own sentences..." Jayden said. "Ah... I'm honestly glad Deborah isn't part of that family in any way."

"By the way, how's work going? I heard from my daughter that you were busy after George's party."

"Good. The thing is, the start of every construction project is always the busiest. Everything is complicated because we have to keep track of permits and ensure that all the material orders arrive on time and in good condition to finish within the agreed deadline." "I see."

"But you know, Deborah surprised me. She has a great ability to adapt to things. And when I was snooping. on her laptop one afternoon, I saw that she had researched materials, their quality, and ven designed pages to advise me when I get exasperated or frustrated with a problem," Jayden said, blushing a little. It's a very sweet gesture on her part."
