Chapter 67

Perhaps Rena’s deception was so artfully executed that Eloise found herself believing it.

Following their dinner, Rena retreated to her room and retrieved a large box, from which she extracted a photo album.

Carefully opening its pages, a photograph of her mother during her youth graced its surface.

On one occasion, Eloise wept inconsolably and queried why her husband treated someone else’s child so well while refusing to let her bear their own child.
