It was obvious that Fae did not believe her son’s words.

“Mom, she’s the foster daughter.”

Instantly, Fae’s expression turned grim. “Are you telling me that… Lottie is Lochlan’s foster daughter?”

Just as Joseph thought that his mother would be disgusted by Charlotte or cursed at her, he heard her say, “The Frasers were horrible with her. The poor girl’s face has been disfigured, yet they’re still slandering her. What do they mean by child bride? This is infuriating!”

From her tone, it was obvious that she felt bad for Charlotte.

The more she said, the more agitated she became. Her face flushed bright red. “Did she? She never mentioned the Fraser family. What does that mean? It means she doesn’t want to go back there.”
