Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Sheryl's words came like a bolt from the blue, catching the Taylors off guard.

Sheryl confirmed, "That's right. Your sons know about this too. Though, it seems like you were truly unaware."

Lyla was on the verge of tears. She shook her head continuously. "That's impossible... Why would they..."
