THE BOY BESIDE ME IS MY SON

Description：
Sadie Sterling died in childbirth believing she had lost everything.
When she opens her eyes again, she is eighteen years old, back in the classroom where she once sat beside Julian Sterling—the reckless boy she loved before life tore them apart. But this time, the shock isnt Julian. Its the red-haired delinquent at her side who carries Julians name and her own familiar pull. Evan Sterling is her son, already a teenager, already hurting, and already convinced he was never truly wanted.
Julian has grown from a wild troublemaker into a cold, successful man, but grief has hollowed him out. Evan acts like a school bully, yet behind the attitude is a lonely boy desperate for love from the parents who failed to stay. Sadies return gives her one impossible chance: step back into their lives, uncover what years of loss have done to them, and repair the broken bond between father and son.
But Sadies time is not her own. A mysterious System controls how long she can stay, and every choice brings her closer to losing them again. As old love resurfaces and buried pain finally comes to light, Sadie must decide how much of herself she is willing to give to save the family she left behind.
Because this time, walking away may cost all three of them everything.
