Two Months Later*

Jasmine's POV

I was in the park with Emma Hollen-- Evan's mom. She had been very supportive of me and the baby, and she made time just to be there for us.

Sometimes we would go shopping or go have lunches at a restaurant, or go for a walk through the park, or sit at the house and girl chat, as she called it. She was an incredible woman and I liked her.

"It's such a beautiful day outside," she said as we sat down on a bench in the lawn.

Fisher and another guard were roaming close by.

"It is," I answered with a smile.

"So, Jasmine, you said there was something you wanted to talk about. What's that sweetie?" she asked and handed me a bottled water to quench my thirst.

I felt like I could vent to her and tell her anything. She was so down to earth, understanding and kind. I had no idea how her son could be so different. He must have got it from his father.

"Do you believe Evan and I will get back together once the baby comes?" I asked her.

I still loved Evan. And I couldn't help but imagine us being a solid family once the baby was born. I didn't want to co-parent. I wanted the baby and I to have a stable relationship with Evan only. I couldn't see myself making love to any other man but him.

Emma raked her fingers through her long hair, just like her son. She let out a sigh and turned towards me. "You still love him, don't you?"

"Yes, I do," I answered truthfully. I wasn't ashamed of saying it and never would be.

"I could see that in your eyes Jasmine, but let me tell you something about my son. Evan is a completely different specimen when it comes to women. He's unreadable and unpredictable, but, believe me when I tell you, he did love you and the love is still there for you, but he is afraid to show you how much he still does.

"I'm not going to judge why you did it, but you did hurt him in a place he had never been hurt before. His heart. But I believe that time heals everything, and anything is possible."

I sighed.

"The three of you could be a family again," she added and rubbed my baby bump, gently and playfully. I was growing everyday.

"I never thought he would've been with Aria Goode for so long though," I said as I recalled her coming over to the mansion the night before with the tightest dress I had ever seen on a woman.

"Aria is just a prop. Evan has her around to aid his broken heart. In other words, her only purpose is to stop him from taking you back, and she's only acting as a fence to separate the two of you.copy right hot novel pub
