Ethan sat back down next to Sarah, looking at her with total determination in his clear eyes.
Ethan: Clara left a hidden envelope in her personal legal safe before she entered the hospital.
Sarah: A legal envelope? What was inside it, Ethan?
Ethan: She named you as the secondary legal guardian of our son if anything happened to her.
Sarah gasped in utter surprise, clutching the peaceful sleeping child even tighter against her shoulder.
Sarah: She wanted me to help raise her baby boy?
Ethan: Yes, but my mother hid the key to that safe three days after Clara died.
Sarah: That means your mother knew about the legal document all along.
Ethan: My mother wanted complete control over the family trust fund connected to baby Leo.

Victoria Vance swept across the glossy marble floor toward their table with a sharp, angry sneer.
Victoria: Ethan! What are you doing in a cheap restaurant holding hands with a common waitress?
Ethan: Stand back, Mother. You have caused enough damage to this family already.
Victoria: Hand my grandson over to the nanny right now! You are embarrassing our family name.
Sarah stood up slowly from her wooden chair, holding the baby safely behind her strong shoulder.
Sarah: You lied to me four years ago, Victoria. You stole my twin sister away from me.
Victoria froze in place, her face turning completely white as she recognized Sarah's identical face.
Victoria: You... you are not supposed to be in this city!
Ethan: She is staying right here with me and Leo from this moment on, Mother.
