Pearl lowered her head and didn’t speak.
Kamala put her hand on her shoulder. “Pearl, I know you’ve been wronged, but the past
is already in the past, and we need to move forward. You should think about your
child.”
Pearl nodded, then answered, “I know.”
Tanner only came back with their son in the afternoon. Noah happily ran toward
Kamala with a toy in hand. “Grandma, Daddy’s toy! ”
Kamala touched his hair and smiled. “Do you like it?”
Noah nodded and continued playing with the toy plane. “Yes!”
Kamala didn’t want to interrupt her grandchild’s happiness.

She answered neutrally, “In the room.”
Tanner walked to her room and opened the door. He saw Pearl standing in front of the window, the pink curtains
covering her body, she looked as if she was floating by the window, suddenly disappearing in front of his eyes.
His heart ached immensely, and he suddenly ran forward to hug her.
Pearl was shocked, “what are you doing?”
“I... I thought you—” Tanner calmed down and noticed that he was hugging her tightly. “I’m sorry, I was just worried
that you did what you did three years ago.”
Pearl was surprised and could feel him shaking while she was in his arms. Her heart pounded, and a tear rolled
down her cheek and burned her, but she was certain that wasn’t her tear!
She raised her hand and touched his face.
Tanner was stunned but retracted his arms and avoided her gaze, “why are you standing by the window?”
She didn’t answer. “Tanner, you... thought I was going to jump?”
He didn’t reply.

Pearl pressed her lips together—the wetness still lingered on her cheek. Tanner could cry.
She turned around and walked to the window. “I was just moving the nest here. It fell down and had been raining
for the past few days. I was afraid that the mother bird wouldn’t be able to find her nest when she returned.”
Tanner paused and calmed down as he listened to her explanation. He walked to Pearl and leaned out. “ Where’s
the nest?”
Pearl pointed. “It’s stuck on the branch.”
The tree wasn’t too far from the window.
Tanner rolled up his sleeves to climb out, but Pearl immediately grabbed him, “Be
careful.”

will.”
Tanner stepped on the branch and moved the nest, but the branch couldn’t handle his
weight and snapped.
“Tanner!” Pearl shouted.
Luckily, Tanner immediately jumped back onto the balcony and managed to protect the
nest when he landed.
Pearl ran to him and leaned down to check on him. “ Are you alright?”
Tanner lay on the ground frowning but couldn’t help but smile when he saw how
worried she was. “I’m fine.”
She paused. “You—”
“Pearl, what happened?”
Kamala had heard the commotion and thought something had happened, so she came
to check, she saw Tanner sitting up while her daughter was on the floor, helping him
up.
