Two hours later, the grand mansion was completely quiet as the front gates locked shut.
Chloe's heavy suitcases were packed into a taxicab that drove away down the long driveway.
Ethan walked slowly through the quiet house toward the sunlit nursery room on the second floor.
Baby Liam was sleeping peacefully inside his white wooden crib near the wide sunny window.
Sarah was standing beside the crib, quietly adjusting the soft blue cotton baby blanket inside.
Ethan stood in the doorway and watched the maid care for his baby with true gentleness.
Ethan: Thank you for staying through all this drama today, Sarah.
Sarah: I just wanted to make sure baby Liam was completely safe, sir.
Ethan: You risked your own job to catch that box on the marble floor.
Sarah: Doing the right thing is always worth the risk, Mr. Ethan.
Ethan walked over to his desk near the window and pulled out a clean fountain pen.
Ethan: I am appointing you as the head property manager of this entire estate today.
Sarah: Sir, that is a huge promotion!
Ethan: You will manage the house staff and oversee Liam's personal security team directly.
Sarah: I do not know what to say, Mr. Ethan.
Ethan: Your salary will triple, starting right now this afternoon.
Sarah wiped a soft tear from her eye and smiled warmly at the sleeping baby boy.
Sarah: I will protect this home with everything I have, sir.
Ethan: I know you will, Sarah, because you have already proven your true heart.
The afternoon sun filled the grand white mansion with warm daylight and peaceful quiet energy.
Justice had been served, and the future of the estate was finally safe and secure forever.
