***COMPLETED*** Aurora Roberts' entire life revolves around her four-month-old baby Aurelia. The father of her baby... not in the picture at the moment. Liam Roberts used to be her best friend and the one she trusted with all her heart, until he broke her heart one day by asking for divorce out of nowhere. It's been more than a year since that happened and she thought it was water under the bridge. Even at twenty-three, Rory is financially stable thanks to the life insurance payment. Also, she is the co-partner of a Café that does fairly well. She plans to take the LSAT as becoming a lawyer is her dream. But, a single phone call set a domino effect that changed all her plans. Her grandmother--the one who mandated her marriage-- is suffering from vascular dementia. And when her caretaker called Rory to ask her to meet her grandmother, she knew she must visit her. But what should she do when she is asked to bring the baby's father with her? He is the one who asked for a divorce and he didn't take any responsibility for the baby! But can she deny the last wish of her grandmother? Does she need him? No! She can take care of herself and her baby. She does not need the pity of anyone. Does she want him back? No! She has her pride! She won't beg him to come back. Does she miss him? Yes, um, No..! Actually, it is complicated! And will her daughter need her father? ... As for Liam, where does he stand?
