Chapter 22

Evelyn looked out the window of the car she arrived in with Henry. She watched nervously as he returned with a frown meaning it had not gone well just like she told him it wouldn't.

What was Henry expecting to get from Liam when that man had never treated them like in-laws?

Evelyn exited the car, keeping the door open for her husband. "How did it go?"

Henry threw his hat into Evelyn's hands. "I told you not to bring that girl with you. I shouldn't have let you convince me to bring her into my home. Twelve years of taking care of a child that wasn't mine and this is the thanks I get."

Evelyn smiled despite being embarrassed after Henry threw his hat at her. "Beth needed someone to play with. If Veronica wasn't there, who would Beth have to play with at home?"

'I didn't want to bring her,' Evelyn thought.
