Chapter 58 After Delaney moved in , Beckett practically glued himself to her side . And me ? I stopped expecting anything from him the moment I saw the truth . " One night , as I walked downstairs to get some water , I heard her voice through the slightly open door of the guest room . " Beckett , " she cooed , " I heard that Saint Christopher medal from your family works really well . The baby's been keeping me up at night … could I borrow it for a while ? " The medal wasn't just a piece of jewelry - it was a Shaw Family heirloom . A symbol that whoever wore it was the rightful Mrs. Shaw . Beckett had given it to me on our wedding day , clasped it around my neck himself . He said it would be mine forever - because there would never be another Mrs. Shaw . His voice pulled me out of the memory . Through the gap in the door , I saw him press a gentle kiss to her cheek and smile . " Of course . I'll ask her for it . You can wear it as long as you want at least until the baby's born . " } A sharp pain stabbed through my chest . } I couldn't even remember his exact promise anymore - but it didn't matter . Because clearly , neither could he . } I took a step back , but the floor creaked under my foot . Beckett opened the door and found me standing there . He looked startled . Guilty , even . He stepped outside , pulled the door shut behind him and led me to a corner of the hallway . " Evelyn … you heard that , didn't you ? " he asked hesitantly . " I didn't say anything . § He hesitated again before speaking . " Delaney's been having trouble sleeping . Do you think you could let her borrow the medal for a bit ? " } I nodded slowly , but at that moment , a sharp pain twisted through my side . I winced and swallowed it down . " " I'll give it to her , but on one condition . " } Beckett's face lit up like I'd just handed him the moon . He stepped toward me , ready to wrap me in a hug , but I took a step back before he could touch me . " Delaney's scent was all over him - it made me want to gag.§ " I'm glad you're finally coming around , " he said with a relieved smile . " Once Delaney has the baby , I'll give it back . Don't worry - your place in this family isn't going anywhere . " > So he did remember what the medal stood for . " I don't care if she never gives it back , " I said quietly . " I just need you to sign this . " > I turned and walked upstairs . } A minute later , I came back down with the divorce papers in hand , already flipped to the page where his signature was needed . " There's no need to be upset , " he said softly , like he was trying to soothe me . " Delaney's not going to keep it forever . Like I said , I'll return it once she has the baby ." > He signed the papers without even glancing at them . As soon as I held the signed divorce papers in my hands , the storm inside me quieted , I never expected it would be this easy . Beckett gave me a small smile . " I know I haven't been there for you these past few months . Go ahead and buy whatever you want - I'll take care of the bill . " % So that's why he was so quick to sign . He thought this was just me angling for a shopping spree . I unclasped the medal from around my neck and handed it to him , expressionless . For a moment , he hesitated . But eventually , he took it and held it tight . " Don't worry . Once the baby's born , it'll be yours again , " he repeated , like he needed to convince himself . But I didn't care anymore . " She can wear it for as long as she wants ," I said flatly . Overcome with emotion , Beckett pulled me into a hug - I pushed him off immediately , but he didn't seem to mind . He turned and walked straight back into Delaney's room . A second later , I heard her squealing with joy . I just stood there , staring out the window . Tomorrow was the day I'd leave . And this time , I wouldn't hesitate . · Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
