Corinne pulled up Joey, who was playing with his toys, from the carpeted floor. “Let’s put away your toys. We’ll have a walk outside the garden,” she said.

Joey nodded obediently. He put away his toys and ran back toward Corinne to hold her hand. “Auntie Sissy! Walk! Walk!”

Corinne got up and was about to take him outside when a servant came in and reported, “Mister Lucas, the Holdens are here.”

“Who exactly?” asked Lucas with a raised eyebrow. ‘It can’t be Jeremy since he’s abroad.’

“It’s Miss Francine and her grandmother. They said they’re here to see Miss Corinne,” answered the servant.

Corinne stopped walking when she heard that. She knew the Holdens were not welcome there since there was bad blood between them and the Riveras. It was only because of Corinne that Lucas was willing to put aside his grudge for the time being.
