Harriet had no idea who could be calling at this hour.
‘Could it be Molly?’ She wondered.

‘How did Harriet sense my anger?’ He wondered.
Unaware of his struggle, Harriet looked at him affectionately. The slight mistiness around her eyes was

How could he possibly be angry with this mischievous little creature?
To prevent himself from acting impulsively, Delbert had no choice but to divert his attention.
“Tomorrow at noon, Grandpa is hosting a family dinner at his house. Dress up and come with me.”
In a high-end restaurant in the heart of Meawood City, Vernon continuously called Harriet, only to be
met with a powered-off phone.
His expression darkened as he had always been the one hanging up on Harriet.
Across from him sat a woman, whose face was concealed by a scarf. It was none other than Nora, who
had just escaped from the clutches of the ship.
