Chapter 26 Chapter 26 Is it too late to take that back ? Calista grinned as she pulled away from the hug .
Too late .
Now you owe me an explanation .
With that , she walked into the bedroom to grab the ointment .
As she carefully tended to Henrys injury , she listened to him recount a chapter of their shared past .
For a brief period , it turned out , Henry and Calista had been neighbors .
But back then , Henrys health had been fragile , confining him to his room most days .
I used to sit by the window and watch you playing outside , Henry began .
I wanted so badly to join in , but my mom was too protective .
She wouldnt let me step outside .
One day , I cracked the window open , just a little , and I saw you standing below , picking up a leaf.
When you noticed me , you smiled and handed it to me through the window .
The memory stirred something in Calista , and her expression softened .
I remember that .
It really happened , didnt it ? A second later , her brows arched in surprise .
Wait , Henry dont tell me you fell for me because of leaf ? Henry chuckled , looking sheepish .
I guess Im easy to please .
His smile faded as his tone grew more serious .
Later , when my dad got transferred , I begged my parents to take you in after I heard about your familys struggles .
But I was too late .
If only they had adopted you back then , he murmured .
At least you couldve been spared so much pain .
Calista reached out and pinched his cheek gently , making him blink in surprise .
Any hardship I went through was worth it , she said softly .
Because in the end , I have you .
Henrys face lit up with a grin .
You always know how to make me happy , wifey .
Without warning , he swept her off her feet .

To Henry .
You knew , didnt you? Uncle Johnson sighed heavily .
I told you to stay out of their business .
Kens fists clenched as bitterness surged .
Am I even your son , or is Henry ? Uncle Johnson rolled his eyes in frustration .
