Chapter 51

Cassie’s POV

"How about yours?"

I decided to give him advice, although I have no idea if he has plans to have a family someday on his own.

"Derek, someday, if you will have and wish to have a family and finally become a parent, you will finally understand what I am saying here. You will learn that there is no greater happiness for a mother or a father than their child's happiness."

I can see that he is quite taken aback by what I said. But he smiled and nodded.

"I salute people like you. I have no idea how hard it is to become a parent, thus being a single mother, but I know that you are more than what you are. A strong and brave woman like you can surpass anything beyond any hardship."

I admitted a while ago that my boss is a top-tier kind of a jerk with a specialty in breaking a woman's heart, but I can also see that this man is a genuine type of person when it comes to being a friend or someone with whom there is not a romantic relationship.
