They were having there breakfast for the first time together as a family, but Adeline didn't seem to have an appetite, she barely touched the food when Alex's gaze was fixed on her that is when she takes the food to her mouth but all the thoughts and eyes were fixed on her son.

"Adeline, I think we have something to talk about don't we" Alex said after noticing the change of attitude Adeline had that morning.
"Talk about what?" Adeline asked back pretending she was okay.

"Adeline don't you pretend you are okay" Alex controlled his voice from rising and he quit the subject due to Nathan's presence. "Mommy are you sick" Nathan asked.
"No honey, why would I be" Adeline replied with a forced smile.

"I finished my breakfast going to play now" Nathan announced to his parents.

This made the topic continue, "Adeline what is wrong with you? I know you didn't scream because of how we slept, I know something isn't right and you had a nightmare" Alex said leaving his chair and food going to a chair near to Adeline's.

" I dreamt that I couldn't find Nathan, it was an empty room I searched but I couldn't see him and you wanted to leave me while you were full of wounds and..." Adeline was stopped because Alex couldn't take it anymore

"It's enough, that is not going to happen. You'll always have me and Nathan is not going to disappear, don't even think about it, okay. " Alex said soothing and kissing the temple of what he thought to be his wife for a moment but the thought was taken back because he remembered that he offered divorce papers once.

Logan woke up alone on the couch, he didn't bother himself to call Diana since he thought it was just a dream he longed for such a long time. He stood up wanting to calling his housekeeper to give the orders on what he wanted to eat but he realized the house was empty.
Maybe they left because I didn't pay them, I am going to loose everything sooner or later.

For a while he sat wishing what he thought was a dream to come true, he didn't even hear the clacking of the shoes Diana made when she was taking the stairs down.

"Logan you are awake. How do you feel?" Logan was startled by that familiar sound.

"Diana" he stood up at that instant and hugged her "I thought it was just a dream, I thought you didn't want me anymore" he continued while hugging as if she would disappear or evaporate.

ADELINE was at her pizzeria with her sister Helen talking about their weekends

"so how did it go you didn't bother to call us that you were sleeping there" Helen said.
"It wasn't like that, it's Nathan who wanted to.... " Adeline said making Nathan the reason that she slept at Alex's while deep down she wanted it to happen
"Ow please, Adeline I wasn't born yesterday, don't blame it to Nathan you wanted it to happen. Wait, I am not going to allow that to happen again until he propose to marry you again" Helen said making an order statement at the end.

"Not now, we want to take things slow this time" Adeline said making it clear to Helen
" slow. Is that what you call slow, it can clearly be seen you people can't live without each other, save me the lies sister I am going to tell him to remarry you" Helen said ignoring the last comment Adeline said.

Adeline's phone rang, she took it realizing it's Diana calling
What now, another bad news.

She took it "hello, Diana what is happening now"

"I did it, Adeline. I am with Logan thank you"

"Did he reject you as your stupid mind told you"

"Infact the day I left was the day he found out that I couldn't..."

"He waited for you, he didn't reject you because he truly loved you"

"I am sorry Adeline, for what I did to you in the past, I was..."

"It's okay Diana it happened and it's in the past. Yesterday I was with Alex by the way"

"Oh my God what did you people do"

"Anyway don't want to talk about it. See you later enjoy your happiness while it lasts"

"OK bye" the line went off and Adeline's heart was relieved. she felt happy and free with no guilt or secrets to hide from Alex.

"What was that all about" Helen asked.
"Well, Diana has returned to his husband" Adeline said with relief in her sound.

"That was how I felt when you and Alex got back together. It's called relief or 'I can finally breath' moment.
Not hearing someone complain curse or cry herself to bed." Helen said

"Or calling you in the middle of the night asking to sleep in my office because they ran away" Adeline said remembering the time when she almost got busted by Alex when Diana called.

"That too" Helen agreed to that, she always had Adeline knocking at her doorstep when she was feeling lonely and unwanted during the times she was married.

The cheerful moment was stopped by another call from Alex. Adeline tried to guess the news and picked the phone up but how wrong she was.

"Are you with Nathan?" Alex's voice beamed with worry.
"No, you said you'll bring him home" Adeline said starting to panic.
"He isn't here" Alex said after a long pause.

"Oh my God. Alex it can't be true. I am coming to that place. He is there" Adeline said leaving everything she had.
"I am coming with you, you can't drive like that. You panic fast" Helen said following Adeline.
