Chapter 14: Julian’s Confession**
Julian stepped forward, gently taking Clara’s suitcase and setting it aside.
"The boys are right, Clara," Julian said, his voice husky with deep emotion. "For two years, I lived in this house like a ghost. I thought protecting my sons meant shielding them behind walls of wealth and stoicism. You broke down those walls. You healed my children... and you brought me back to life."
He reached out, his thumb gently catching a tear falling down Clara’s cheek.
"I don't want a nanny for my boys, Clara. I want a partner. I want you. If you’ll have us... all five of us."
