Chapter 30

"Mom," Logan spoke up.

"What is your name?" Logan's mother focused her attention on Yvonne's face. 

Yvonne, feeling a bit uneasy, took a step back, "Yvonne."

"You have such a tacky name," Logan's mother remarked without holding back.

Yvonne remained silent, using one hand to steady herself against the countertop. 

"What family are you from?" his mother inquired. 

"Family?" Yvonne hesitated, reluctant to associate her last name with her father. Considering using Riley won't look good. She weighed her options carefully. 

"Why aren't you saying anything?" Logan's mother pressed on. 

"I don't have a father, nor a mother," Yvonne finally said, her voice steady. "I am an orphan,"

"Orphan? Is that the reason why you got pregnant out of wedlock?"

"Mom, that is enough; you are insulting her," Logan interjected, trying to diffuse the escalating tension.
