"No..." Inessa said, and her hand involuntarily reached out to Adrian, but stopped at the last moment.
She looked back at her son and, seeing his determination, did not know what to do.
On the one hand, she wanted to establish a relationship with her son and wanted him to recognize her as a mother. On the other hand, this was the man she loved and had spent half her life with.
This situation was tearing her apart.
Idan noticed a faint satisfied grin appear on Ryan's face.
Eleanor looked from her son to her grandson. She took a deep breath and stepped forward, but at the last moment the words stuck in her throat, never coming out.
A little to the side, Amanda was crying softly, her head down. Next to her, Estelle hugged her little babies closer through her tears.
Ina, overcome with confusion, met Idan's gaze. Frightened, she averted her eyes and hid behind the safe embrace of Irene.
