Connor washed his face at the small sink, trying to appear clean and presentable.

His hands shook with nervous energy as he prepared to see Emma.

He was then escorted to the visitation room where Victoria and Emma waited

behind the reinforced glass.

Connor's gaze swept past Victoria, landing entirely on Emma. He picked up the

phone with trembling hands, his wolf whining with joy.

"Did you give the evidence to Ethan?" Victoria immediately demanded, her voice

sharp with anxiety.

Connor's expression hardened as he saw Victoria's desperation. "Are you finally

small booth.

Victoria then placed the phone next to Emma's ear. The young girl's voice was

sweet and innocent as she spoke.

"Daddy, did you give the evidence to Ethan Dad?" Emma asked, her eyes wide

with feigned concern.

Connor's tone immediately softened when addressing his daughter. "Emma,

sweetheart, don't interfere with adult matters."
