Chapter 21

When Trevor returned home after celebrating Wynn’s victory, it was nearly 1:00 am.

Peter noticed Trevor carrying a sleepy Jordyn and asked with concern, “Why were you out so late, Mr. Fleming?” Trevor responded with a hum and offered no further explanation.

“Mrs. Fleming? No, she hasn’t.”
