Mrs. Lawson turned to Charles, looking a little embarrassed. “Charles, I didn’t even realize you were here. I got too caught up gossiping. Why didn’t you bring your wife with you today? Yolanda is such a sweetheart. Last time I saw her, she called me ‘Aunt Vivian‘ in that soft voice of hers. It totally made my day! Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever met a girl sweeter than her.”

May’s face clouded over. Yolanda hadn’t bothered to visit her even once, but meanwhile, Joelle had shown up twice–how nice for her.

She swallowed her frustration, thinking there was no way she’d bring up family drama in public, so she just kept her mouth shut.

Mrs. Lawson kept at it, “Charles, you and your wife really should think about having a baby soon. You’re not exactly kids anymore!”

“Got it, Aunt Vivian,” Charles replied, not looking the slightest bit annoyed.

Charles didn’t seem the least bit bothered.

The elevator dinged open on the first floor. Mrs. Lawson was the first to stride out, beaming from ear to ear. “May, catch you next time! Afternoon tea tomorrow, don’t forget!”

May forced a polite smile and nodded, but the second Mrs. Lawson was out of sight, her face fell in an instant.

She got into the car, still grumbling, “Joelle is a hundred times more mature than Yolanda. Your Aunt Vivian had a point–you really need to make up your mind about the kid situation. I just want to know who’s actually going to have it, so I’m not left guessing.”

“We’ll talk about it later,” Charles replied, voice cool. Then, remembering something, he warned, “And seriously, stop getting physical with her.”

May didn’t even realize she was about to get blamed for something she hadn’t done–she just sneered.

Charles dropped her off at home, and just as he was about to leave, she held him back to keep talking.

“Charles, all of the Sinclair family’s legacy should be yours–no one else’s. Your uncle’s coming back any day now, and I’ve heard Edward’s been stirring up trouble again,” May said, her tone earnest.

Charles sat behind the wheel, sounding unfazed. “It’s fine.”
