Jonathan finally realised that he was starting to have feelings for Anne, especially his talk with Benjamin, Crawford realised that he needed to stay with her now and make his final decision. As he continued driving back to his home, He continued to think more about Anne.

Eventually, he reached his house as he got out of the car and entered his house, He looked at his phone, and Anne messaged him and said she would come over in ten minutes.

He sat on the couch and continued thinking about her as Jonathan really wanted to see her right now.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Anne was seen preparing to leave her house, She admitted to Alex and Emma that she was going to see Jonathan right now, Anne has been feeling guilty for lying to them a bit too much which is why she told them the truth that she was going to visit her boss.

Alex wanted to drop her to his house, but Anne said she wanted to take a taxi, Alex and Emma decided to let her go, but they were also concerned about her. Eventually, she left the house as Alex and Emma looked at each other and wondered what was going on now

Later on, Anne finally reached his house as she paid the taxi driver and got out of the car, Winters took a deep breath and looked at his house, Every step she was taking made her feel nervous for some reason.

She wasn't sure what he was going to say to her, After all. He hasn't even spoken to her since they both found out about the pregnancy, and it made her feel scared.

Anne walked towards the door and pressed on the door bell as she waited for Jonathan to open the door, Not even a minute, He opened the door and looked at her as Anne stared at him.

Anne: Uhh. . . Hey.

Jonathan: Come in.

He let her in the house as Jonathan felt so relieved to see her again, His heart was racing as he watched her enter the house, He closed the door as both of them were staring at her as Jonathan said something.

Jonathan: How are you feeling?

Anne: I'm fine.

His voice was soft as Jonathan walked towards her and touched her cheek, Anne's heart began to beat faster by his touch, She really missed seeing him.

Jonathan: That's good, Just sit down, I just need to grab something real quick.

She nodded as Jonathan continued staring into her eyes before walking away, She watched him walk up the stairs as Anne was about to sit in the couch until she noticed a book in the corner, And it wasn't any normal book. It was a diary.

Anne looked at the diary and it was already open, She knew it was wrong to take a peak on it but she was curious to know what he wrote, She picked it up and began reading the page as her eyes were widen.

It was the wrong page that she read, It was the old page of how Jonathan planned on leaving Anne and his child since he never really had feelings for her, Winters dropped the diary and felt like her heart broke in shatters.

Anne couldn't believe it. Finally, when she thought she could love again, She was betrayed. Winters felt like she was gonna cry right now as Jonathan was walking downstairs and looked at her.

Jonathan: What's the matter, Anne-

Anne: STAY AWAY FROM ME!

Jonathan's eyes were widen, He is shocked and confused about why she is so angry, so suddenly, Anne starts crying, which breaks his heart as he looks at her in confusion.

Jonathan: Anne, what's

Anne: D-DON'T! Don't act dumb towards me!

Jonathan looked at her as Anne had sadness and anger written in her face until he looked at the diary that was open. He realised why she reacted this way as he tried to walk towards her.

Jonathan: Listen-

Anne shoved him back and stared at him while wiping her tears.

Anne: I'm leaving! I don't want to see you!

She tried to walk away, but Jonathan grabbed her arm, Anne yelled at him and pushed him away again, but Jonathan wasn't giving up, He grabbed both of her wrists and pushed her against the wall as Anne was yelling at him.

Anne: Get off of me, Jonathan!

He stayed quiet and didn't listen as Anne began thrashing and tried to push him away, though Jonathan kept a calm look on his face as he was trying to calm Anne down.

Anne: LET ME GO! I'm gonna call the cops on you!

He didn't take that as a threat or warning as Anne continued to struggle to get off of his grip.

Finally, she gave up and stared at him in anger as Jonathan looked into her eyes, He could see how sad and angry she was, which made him feel guilty.

Jonathan:. . . .Can you listen to me now?

Anne: . . . . No. . . . No, I don't want to hear you. . . I know everything!

She cried as Jonathan looked at her, Anne felt really betrayed and sad right now.

Anne: Is that why you called me here? You were planning on leaving me and your child!?

Jonathan was silent and continued staring at him while not letting go of her hands.

Jonathan: I wasn't. . .

Anne: I saw what you wrote in that diary! I hate you, Jonathan!

He stayed silent and looked at her as Anne continued crying, Jonathan felt really bad when she said that she hated him.

Anne: I don't understand! Was I just time pass to you!? Or was I just a stress relief!?

Jonathan: . . . . . . No.

Anne: Don't lie to me! I know how you truly feel. . . . You're just like my ex, and I can't believe i met you in the first place!

Jonathan felt hurt when she said that. However, he didn't want to show it to her. Finally, he leaned closer to her as Anne stared at him, For some reason, she could still feel her heartbeat when he got closer to her.

Jonathan: I'm not going to do that, Anne. I'm never gonna leave you. . .

Anne: . . . . . Go away.

Anne didn't trust what he said as she was gonna push him until he leaned even closer and kissed her as her eyes widen, She immediately pulled back from the kiss as he was still close to her face.

Jonathan: Do you trust me now?

Anne: T-Thats noth-

He pulled her close by her waist as his face was still close to her, Their noses were touching as there was tension in the air as Jonathan was speaking to her.

Jonathan: Listen here, I know what I was going to do was wrong, but no. . . I changed my mind. I'm not gonna leave you, Carriette, and my child. . . Since you were on a break, I can't stop thinking about you, I couldn't even focus on work because all I could think of was you.

Anne stared at him as his hot breath was hitting her face as Jonathan continued speaking to her.

Jonathan: I was never in love with you, Anne. But I realised that you changed me, You were another person that would listen to me when I had no one in my life. Believe me, I changed my mind. . . I want to stay with you, But if you don't trust me yet. . . . .

He placed a hand of her cheek and spoke to her.

Jonathan: Then I'll show it to you, I won't make you my girlfriend, I'll make you my wife instead, After you give birth to our child, I'll fill you up with another one~

Anne's eyes widen by what he said as he smirked at her, However, her heart was beating faster, and she really felt like he was telling the truth to her.

Jonathan: I'll do anything except leaving you. . .

Anne: Jonathan. . . .

Jonathan: Do you trust me?

Anne: I. . .

She felt like crying again, but she also felt like there was hope, Anne thought she could trust him this time. Jonathan began moving his hand towards her hair as his stare became more soft now.

Jonathan: It felt wrong to leave you. . . . I'm sorry. But I love you, Anne. I'm going to make you more than just a stress relief and time pass.

Anne's stare softened as she looked at Jonathan, She could see the love in his eyes as Crawford continued staring at her, He waited for her response as Anne was silent, She was too stunned to say anything right now.

Jonathan: Will you be my wife?

Anne: W-What? Jonathan, That's too soon-

Jonathan: I already told you, I want you to be my wife instead.

Anne: But we don't even know each other that much. . . .

Jonathan: *Smiles* I have the rest of my life to find out.

He kissed her passionately as Anne was shocked, but she kissed him back. She began wrapping his hands around his neck as Jonathan pushed her against the wall as the kiss got rougher.

He slowly moved a hand around her waist and moved under her shirt to feel her skin, The kiss deepens as Anne began to reach for his belt as Jonathan pulled away from the kiss and chuckled.

Jonathan: Sweetheart, Did you forget that you're pregnant?

Anne: Oh. . . .

He smiled at her as Anne couldn't help but smile at him as Jonathan continued to caress her waist.

Jonathan: I wish I could, but you have to wait nine months.

Anne: How can I wait? I missed you already.

Jonathan: Naughty~

Anne smiled at him before she hugged him tightly, Jonathan felt his heart skip a beat. Her hug was full of affection, He hugged her back while caressing her hair.

Anne: I love you, Jonathan. . . Please don't leave me.

Jonathan: I promise. . . I won't.

They continued hugging each other as Anne felt so happy that he accepted her feelings, She was also glad to finally have someone by her side. They broke the hug and looked at each other as Jonathan kissed her forehead as they both smiled at each other.

Anne turned away as she wanted to sit down. However, Jonathan grabbed her hand as he smiled and said something.

Jonathan: You didn't answer my question.

Anne: If I want to be your wife?. . . . . *Chuckles* I do.

Jonathan had a huge smile on his face as he pulled her close and hugged her from behind.

Jonathan: Good, Cause now you're fired.

Anne: Excuse me?

Jonathan: You're no longer my beautiful assistant, You're my beautiful wife now.

Anne blushed and laughed as Jonathan continued hugging her.

Jonathan: I promise I'll get you a ring later.

Anne: *Smiles* It's okay, I'll wait. At least I get to be with you.

Jonathan: And I can't wait to make you, my woman.

Anne blushed again as he kissed her neck as Winters laughed and began holding his arms. Both of them were so happy to be together right now, and they were really in love with each other.

He was glad to feel affection and love in his life.
