No matter what, we will know the truth when Sean is caught.

Right then, footsteps could be heard from the staircase.

Both Natalie and Joyce jerked their heads back to see Jacqueline coming down the stairs while holding the rail for support.

Flashing a warm smile, Jacqueline greeted them. “Ms. Smith, Ms. Rivers.”

“Hello, Ms. Graham,” Joyce replied with a polite nod.

Jacqueline’s gaze landed on Joyce. “Ms. Rivers, are you here to visit Ms. Smith?”

“Yes.” Joyce took a sip of the tea Mrs. Wilson prepared for them.

“Oh, I see. I won’t disturb you then. Have fun!” Jacqueline spun on her heels and walked toward the garden.

After she left, Joyce lowered her voice and whispered, “Nat, didn’t you tell me she’s dating Dr. Baker now? Why is she still here?”

 

“Dr. Baker said she’ll move out after he finishes decorating the room,” explained Natalie as she drank her water.

Joyce nodded in acknowledgement. “Oh, that sounds better. She shouldn’t be staying here. You’re married to Mr. Shane, and she’s his childhood sweetheart who still has feelings for him. It’s ridiculous to have his wife and childhood sweetheart stay under the same roof.”
