The Girlboss Begs For Remarriage

Frank's mood was endlessly somber-not only was Huub's threat weighing down on him, but there was also the physical pain he was enduring.

It was even more disappointing that Helen had not visited over the last two days, although he had an idea why.

Even if Helen did agree to let Huub search Cologne Court, Frank did not believe it was her own call, as he knew her well enough to see that she was wet behind her ears.
