Noah stepped into his path. “What’s this sudden interest in Sadie? Are you keeping secrets from me?”

Jim avoided a direct response. His eyes flicked to Kyla, still seated, and with a knowing glance, he challenged, “How long will you keep up this charade? Is it really amusing to have all three of you under one roof here at Myrtlewood Estate?”

Noah’s expression tightened. “Stay out of my affairs.”
