CHAPTER 213

  To avoid disregarding her parents by spending the night at the packhouse, she returns home every two days to spend the following days with her parents. It was time to head back, and she couldn't contain her happiness.

  Kate watched from the kitchen entrance with Jack. "she looks happy."

  "It's obvious we had misjudged him. Me in particular. The thought of him keeping my daughter hostage for so long haunted me, and I felt less of myself. But, I must admit, I have never seen Mona this happy." Jack said.
