Chapter 141

Olivia tried her best to put on a smile. “That’s fine.”

Connor looked like a different person now. He had changed out of branded clothes and into the clothes that belonged to Martha’s children.

Olivia wondered how many children had worn the same clothes. There were even patches sewn on older patches.
