Chapter 126:

Elyse felt hurt as she thought about the shy expression on Judy’s face. “It’s just a contract. Why did you keep it from me and say it was a secret between the two of you?” she asked, her tone conveying her pain.

Jayden, utterly confused, responded, “What secret? How could there be any secret between me and Judy?”
