Chapter 50 CAUGHT IN THE ACT

  When she returned inside, she saw her mother at the door. She could no longer hide the truth.

  She sat on the sofa and burst into tears.

  She felt her mom approach and she sat down next to her.

  "Why do you have to hide? I asked you if you had a problem. You shouldn't hide it from me, Ash. I'm your mother. If there's someone who should understand you, aomeone who would not judge you, there's no one else but me. " she  lifted her chin to show her face.

  "I'm scared, ma'am. I'm scared of ruining your good acquaintance with Paul. I don't want to lose the respect you give him. I don't want him to feel the way he used to feel for his parents. I know what he did isn't just right,but still he's been good to us. Its just that I can't accept how stupid I am that I made myself believe that he loves me."
