stay here and talk with grandpa.”
He then stood and approached Belinda. “I'll accompany her.”
Allen was momentarily stunned, and his gaze involuntarily sought out Belinda. “Belinda...” he murmured.
Belinda, with a furrowed brow, glanced toward Kristopher. After a moment's contemplation, she nodded
decisively. “Please stay here, Allen. | need to discuss something with him.”

to endure.”

means everything to me. I've always wanted our child...”

three years and still, you're as affectionate as ever...”
