Three months passed by very quickly now.
The sun shone bright over the house.
The big white mansion felt warm today.
The scary shadows were gone forever now.
Mark had changed his whole busy schedule.
He worked from home every single day.
He wanted to be near his children.
The legal court battle had finally ended.
Victoria was facing heavy prison time now.
The stolen inheritance was back in bank.
The children's trust fund was fully secured.
Mark walked into the sunny back yard.
Chloe was sitting on green grass mat.
Her leg cast was finally removed yesterday.
She could walk without her wooden crutches.
She was helping baby Leo crawl around.
Leo giggled as he touched green grass.
Mark carried a tray of cool juice.
He set the tray on wooden table.
He sat down beside his two children.
Mark: Look at you two happy kids.
Chloe looked up with a huge smile.
Chloe: Leo took two steps today, Dad!
Mark felt a warmth inside his heart.
Mark: That is amazing news, my girl.
He pulled Chloe close for a hug.
The bad memories were slowly fading away.
They had faced a terrible betrayal together.
They had come out stronger than before.
Mark knew he was a lucky man.
He had a daughter with true courage.
She had protected her sweet baby brother.
She had shown what real love means.
Mark: I am so proud of you.
Chloe: I love our family, Dad.
Mark: I love our family too, sweetie.
The afternoon sun stayed bright and warm.
Their life was peaceful and happy now.
