For the Raymond family, she seemed to always be some sort of bargaining chip.

leave.
But lan pulled her back, slowly pinning her hair behind her ear.
“I’ll give you time to think, but I’m a clean freak, don’t let him touch you while you’re considering.”

It was as if her life was a toy to be played with.

in, which gave him a secret thrill.

“Penny, a smart person should know how to choose.”

So Nathan didn’t see what happened inside.

Someone curiously asked.
“What’s he expressing? Mr. Raymond just got back with Ms. Shepard, right?”
Tyler smiled and didn’t answer. He leaned closer to lan and whispered so only the two of them could
hear.
“It looks like you’ve been sneaking around behind people’s backs.”
lan pushed him away and said, “Buzz off.”
