Roselynn quickly said, “She is Tia’s mother. We brought her here to attend the wedding.”

Tia, who was getting her makeup done, quickly stood up and said nervously, “Ms. Quillen, my mother spoke out of turn. Please… please don’t mind!”

Her heart raced with guilt, regardless of whether or not Mackenzie caught her words. After all, Emmanuel was Mackenzie’s husband-what if she misinterpreted Tla’s intentions toward him?
