Annabelle said, “It’s not like that. Don’t portray Mr. Hughes in such a negative light. My child-”
Before Annabelle could finish her sentence, Natalie cut her off sharply. “Are you trying to say the child isn’t Jeremy’s? Spare me your excuses. They won’t work on me. Besides, don’t you find it exhausting to maintain two faces? If you want him, why not just be straightforward and admit it to him?
“And Jeremy, I find it hard to believe. You can get her pregnant and yet refuse to acknowledge your relationship with her? I don’t understand your thoughts, nor can I guess them. But one thing is clear–your affair is undeniable, no matter how you try to cover it up.”

Annabelle’s heart ached. She knew Jeremy treated Natalie well and spoiled her, but seeing his concern for Natalie with her r
own eyes felt like a series of slaps across her face. It deeply hurt her.
“Mr. Hughes, she knows everything now. Can I stay in Jipsburg? I won’t appear

When Skylar got off work, she was accosted by a young girl, Simona Parkinson.
Simona appeared to be around 18 or 19 years old. She dressed edgily with a carefree style reminiscent of Caleb. She had no reservations about expressing
