“Miss Edna, your coffee, Della sald, presenting a steaming cup.
Edna smiled and gratefully accepted the coffee from Delia, Selzing the moment, Delia whispered something in Edna’s ear.

They made their way to a secluded spat in the Lindsay family’s expansive backyard, near a quaint little rockery.
Edna frowned and said, “Are you sure that’s what Gerand told Janet?” Delin nodded, “Heard it with my own ears.” Edna’s frown deepened. That boy Gerard was so ungrateful! She had felt for him when he was little, motherless, and had tried to care for him But Gerard had flat-out refused, preferring fomula over any warmth she could offer! She had doted on him, coddled him, all these years, and now he had the nerve to say he'd accept anyone but her as a stepmother! It was true what they said.
No matter how you raise them, someone else’s child will never be your own She had been so good to Gerard, and he repaid her with betrayal, biting the hand that fed him..
A true ingrate! Delia glanced around before continuing. “Looks like marrying into the Lindsay family by winning over Gerard is off the table now “Tm well aware,” Edna snapped back.

If Carole had been a decent woman, she wouldn't have seduced Jonah into having a child out of wedlock! The thought made Janet's blood boil.
