"Let go of me! Help!"

Roger froze at the sound of the woman's scream, releasing bi

Unfortunately, he didn't have time to figure it out because two store employees rushed over, closely followed by Jayden.

"You again?" Jayden said angrily, rushing to embrace Deborah. "Why do you keep harassing my girlfriend?"

"Even if she is your girlfriend, I have the right to approach her because she's carrying my child," Roger retorted.

"This baby is mine, and you need to stop stalking Deborah," Jayden der him.

""That child is not-

"Sir, please leave, or we'll call the police," the employees ordered.

"Deborah, my love, it's okay, I'm here," Jayden said, holding her protectively.

She nodded, still not letting go.

Jayden shifted her slightly and noticed the marks on her wrist. He immediately felt his blood boil.

"You animal, she's pregnant and you still hurt her," Jayden fumed, struggling to keep himself from pummeling Roger.

"Call the police," the manager began to say.

Hearing that, Roger scowled and ran off. He couldn't risk another scandal that would cost him the little support he still had from his father.

"Coward," Jayden muttered angrily.

"We're very sorry, sir. We- the manager began, embarrassed.

"It's not your fault. But could you bring us some water, please?"

The employees nodded and went to get some water for Deborah.

"Are you alright?" Jayden asked.

[Yes] Deborah replied.

"You scared me, my love, but that thing Caroline gave you worked."

Deborah smiled and, stepping back from Jayden, showed him her phone.

After the last incident with Roger, Deborah had told Caroline about it. Caroline suggested they create a special weapon against him: a genuine cry for help. At first, Deborah thought Caroline was joking, but when she saw Caroline record a cry for help on Deborah's phone and hand it back, she understood. In an emergency, she could play the recording and move her lips to make it look like it was her voice.

The commotion would draw attention and create a chance for assistance to arrive, just as it did perfectly

this time.

Yes, and I'm definitely buying her a big present for that

"We'll buy it together," Jayden corrected, helping her to stand.

"Here you go, ma'am," one of the sales clerks said, handing Deborah a bottle of water.

[Thank you] Deborah took the bottle and sipped from it

Jayden smiled and helped her walk over to check on the decorations

Once everything was ready and packed into their car, the couple paid and headed home.

As a form of therapy, the two dedicated themselves to decorating Caroline's new house to forget about the unpleasant encounter with Roger.

At that moment, Deborah was finishing up with setting the table.

[My love, what do you think? Red or white?] she asked Jayden, showing him the napkins she wanted to use for the decor.

"What if you combine them?" Jayden suggested.

Deborah smiled and arranged the napkins to create a rose on each plate while Jayden hung a large banner that read: "Welcome Home."

[She'll be so happy when she sees her new house.]

"And now that she's here, I'll feel more at ease when I go to work," Jayden added.

[Huh? Why do you say that?)

"Well, my love, you're five months along now, I don't want to sound controlling, but I worry about your safety when I'm at work and you're home alone," Jayden admitted.

Deborah smiled at his words.

"Well, you know, I understand you like to handle things on your own, but now that James is almost five months along. I don't want you to overexert yourself or put yourself in a risky situation/ Something bad might happen when you're out or at home alone." Il get it and don't worry, I'm not upset.] Deborah leaned in to kiss his cheek. It warms my heart to have someone genuinely care about me like you do.]
