Seeing You Not Seeing Me (COMPLETE)

Epilogue

Mari and Jude, a couple deeply in love, had been married for two decades, savoring every moment of their blissful union. Their journey together had been filled with joy, challenges, and unexpected surprises.

In their fourth year of marriage, Mari, a youthful twenty-six-year-old, and Jude, who was thirty-eight, received life-altering news. Mari was pregnant with triplets, a revelation that left the couple astounded. Their elation quickly mingled with apprehension as they contemplated the complexities of raising three children simultaneously.

As Mari's labor pains intensified, Jude's heart raced with fear. His mind echoed with the haunting possibility of losing his beloved wife, the mother of his children, his soulmate. Overwhelmed by anxiety, he strained to hear Mari's faint whimpers as she bravely brought their children into the world. Tears streamed down Jude's face as the midwife finally announced that Mari and the babies were safe. In that moment, relief flooded his being, and he could do nothing but hold his priceless treasures tightly in his arms.

Despite his initial doubts, Jude resolved to embrace the challenges of parenting triplets. The cries of their newborn children reverberated through the room, igniting a newfound sense of determination within him and Mari. Together, they knew they could overcome any obstacle, even with Jude's visual impairment.

In the beginning, Jude grappled with frustration and uncertainty, grappling with the overwhelming responsibility of caring for their infants. However, Mari, possessing an innate maternal instinct, provided unwavering guidance and support. Step by step, she led her husband, showing him the ropes of parenthood and how to care for their children with ease. As they revealed in the joys of parenthood, they named their sons after characters from their beloved romance novels, cherishing the connection to their shared passion. The third triplet, a precious daughter, completed their family.

Charles, Jude's brother, was not actively involved in their early years of parenthood, visiting only during special occasions, afraid of being assigned diaper duty by his brother. Nevertheless, he always showered the children with thoughtful gifts. As the triplets grew into toddlers, Charles began making regular visits, sometimes accompanied by a "friend," eager to bond with his niece and nephews.

Throughout their marriage, Mari and Jude made the decision to return to their roots in Buxton. They lovingly renovated their countryside grange, transforming it into a haven tailored to accommodate their growing family and the prospect of more children, as Jude optimistically predicted.

When the triplets reached the age of seven, having been homeschooled by their dedicated parents, Mari discovered that she was once again expecting. The family eagerly anticipated the arrival of their newest addition, hoping it would not be another set of triplets, as teased by their mischievous children. During the labor, Jude held Mari's hand tightly, providing comfort and reassurance, while their older children stood by, eager to welcome their new sibling into the world. They named their baby girl after yet another cherished romance novel, a story they deemed inappropriate for their curious triplets.

During summers, the Kane family embarked on journeys to London, where they stayed with Uncle Charles. After a decade of marriage, Charles had found love and married a wonderful woman, who blessed him with two sons. The extended family relished the precious time spent together, cherishing the bonds that had strengthened over the years.

Although their accumulated wealth meant Jude no longer needed to work, he insisted on pursuing his passion as a writer. His novels garnered immense popularity, with numerous copies sold. However, it was Mari who meticulously transcribed his stories, often offering insightful suggestions and astute observations. In their collaborative efforts, Mari's discerning eye frequently prevailed, enriching the narratives with her astute insights.

Their enduring affection was a testament to their deep connection and unwavering commitment. They were destined not only to cross paths but to remain in each other's lives eternally, bound by a love that defied the passage of time.

I sucks at writing epilogues. I'm so sorry. But really, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so, so much for reading. I hope you enjoyed it, though being filled with grammatical errors.

I also apologize for not updating sooner since I was busy with university, and I was also finishing up another novel coming up.

Now that Seeing You Not Seeing Me is finished, I hope you'll give my next story a try. It centres around a complicated yet sweet romance between a young ballerina and a middle-aged grumpy and plump director.

Its first three chapters are up in my profile now.
