Christine's POV
My father smiles at me as he takes my hand in his. He knows that I'm going through hell because I have to love Mike. Maybe not as much as I should have, but I still have feelings for him. We spent a lifetime together, and he treated me like I was trash. He even threw me out of my own house. I cannot believe it. Now is not the time to think about it. Now is the time to start living my new life without him and his parents, who always made my life difficult because they wanted a grandchild I could never give them.
Maureen and John are sitting at the table next to ours with Emma and Mike. Emma has a smug smile on her face. She keeps looking at me while touching her tummy. Mike has a grin on his face, as if he knows that he is going to become the head of the surgical departmen
