Linda scoffed. “That’s so shameless of her!”

Just talking about that made her upset. “Could it be that they have a great connection, which is why such a significant person is attending her birthday?”

Beck and Miles were sitting at the table beside Wynn’s, right behind her.

Initially, Beck was quietly enjoying his meal. He paused for a moment when he heard how Zachary was at Betty’s birthday party. He asked, “The Rodriguez family’s birthday party?”
