Grace watched silently as the little boy held the photo against his chest.
Then Noah whispered something so softly that Andrew had to increase the audio volume.
“Mommy, today I met a nice lady,” the boy murmured.
Andrew froze in his chair.
Noah continued speaking to the photograph as if his mother were listening.
“Dad doesn’t hug me,” he said quietly. “But it’s okay. I know he’s sad.”
Andrew felt something break inside his chest.
On the screen, Grace gently knelt beside the boy and wrapped her arms around him.

Noah didn’t hesitate.
He hugged her back tightly.
For the first time in months, Andrew saw his son smiling the way he used to when Olivia was still alive.
And sitting alone in his office, the millionaire who thought he understood everything realized something devastating.
His son had not been strong.
His son had simply been lonely.
And the cameras he installed to catch a dishonest nanny had instead revealed the truth about himself.
