Ben Sebastian's home hasn't changed after all this time Alden hasn't set foot here.
Valen embraces Alden's arm, while Alana is carried by Alden. The waiter escorted them in after asking Ben for permission. They entered carefully. It feels pretty heavy considering the last time here, Valen and Alden actually made Ben sick.
Ben was still in a wheelchair, while Lidia was sitting on the sofa next to Ben. They looked at the 2 people who had just come to bring a cute and fat baby girl.
"Dad, Alden and Valen came to introduce Alana." Alden opened his voice amid the silence that was occurring.
Quiescent. No one is talking. Ben kept looking at the baby in Alden's laughing hand while playing the doughnut ring.
"Dad, Valen is sorry for making all this mess up. Valen doesn't matter if Dad and Mom don't want to accept Valen, but please accept Dad's granddaughter.." "It's Alana." Valen just spoke to the point. He took Alana from Alden, and brought her before Lydia.
Lydia could not hold back her feelings anymore. He accepts Alana, then carries her and plays with her.
"Alana dear, this is oma. You are beautiful and fat.." Lydia kissed Alana's cheek with a happy feeling.
"Opa also wants to be fat" said Ben with an envious tone.
Lydia immediately sat Alana in Ben's lap.
Alden's parents are busy playing with Alana and forget Valen and Alden.
They only realized after Alana cried. Alden takes Alana again from Ben to calm her down.
"Valen, sit here." call Lydia.
Valen approached and sat right beside Lydia.
Lydia took Valen's hand, then she held him tightly.
"Mom's sorry too. Mom had heard from Sam about your struggle giving birth to Alana" said Lydia full of regrets.
"Mom..." Valen could not hold back his tears. He was moved to be mixed with pleasure because it meant that Lydia had forgiven Valen.
"Mom and Dad have forgiven you." "Alden, Mom misses you."
Lydia stood up to hug Alden. Alden has learned a lesson from his mistake of impregnating Valen out of wedlock. Their lives have not been easy either.
"I'm sorry Alden Mom, Dad. Alden's sorry." Alden humbly admitted his past mistakes.
"Stay here, Den. Dad wants to talk to you a lot." Ben's holding Alden's wrist. "Dad still wants to play with Dad's grandson."
Alden looked towards Valen, and his wife nodded in agreement.
"Bi, quickly prepare a special dinner. Make sure to cook Alden's favorite food, too." - Lydia told their waiter.
"You guys just rest. Sam might not be coming home, so we'll have dinner alone" Ben told Alden and Valen.
"Okay Dad, Alana seems to be getting sleepy." Valen stands to replace Alden holding Alana.
"Dad and Mom are going to the hospital to see Sam's son.What's his name, dear?" ask Ben who forgot about their grandson.
They laughed at Lydia's nagging. Since retiring, Ben has not been what he used to be. He forgot some important things.
"Come, let's go there. I can't wait to see Renzo." Lydia pushes Ben's wheelchair over to the sisters, leaving Alden, Valen and Alana.

"Darling, what's wrong with you?" Valen approached Alden who was standing on the balcony looking at his phone. Alden turned around, then he looked at Valen with a sad look.
"Can you call Zoe?" alden asked Valen, who had just finished his bath.
"Why did you suddenly look for Zoe?" "I haven't heard from him in a long time." Valen also just realized that Zoe suddenly disappeared like in the swallow of earth. During this one year, Valen was too focused on Alana to forget her spirit.
"Yes, I'm looking for Mr. Steve. He suddenly couldn't be reached, just like Zoe. Do they have a problem?"
Deg. Valen recalled the conversation she had with Zoe last time before fainting and giving birth to Alana. Billy Stevenson's. Dad Alden. Why did Valen forget?
"Val.." call Alden.
"Eh, how's Den?" valen answered nervously.
"Did you hear that?"
"Yes, listen. I don't know about Zoe or Steve." Valen. "I'm gonna check on Alana first." He went back into the room on Alana's grounds. What if Alden found out that his real father had been around him and always helped him? What happened to Zoe this year? Valen thought hard until he did not realize that Alden was already beside him.
"Say you wanna check on Alana, why stay here?" ask Alden suspiciously. He again saw Valen daydreaming and just stood in front of the bed. He didn't even see Alana.
"Val, are you hiding something?"
"I? Hide what?" Valen tried to be as supernatural as possible. He put his hand around Alden's neck. "I'm confused why you asked about Zoe."
"Hey, are you jealous?" Alden held Valen's chin gently.
Valen nodded slowly.
"I'm just worried about Mr. Steve, baby" she said, drawing Valen close.
'Tok.tok'
"Mr Alden, the madam has called you to eat."
Alden stopped just as his lips were about to touch Valen.
"Let's continue again. Now we better get out." Valen rubbed Alden's cheek, then moved away from the man.
