Chapter 128

It wasn’t anything she couldn’t talk about on her side, so Sarah told her about going on a cruise with Elisa.

Cole listened and said, “If you guys are planning on going on a cruise this weekend, Abby’s interested too, mind taking the two of us?”

Sarah froze, reacted, and said, “I’ll talk to my sister first and ask her opinion.”

Five minutes later, she sent Cole her response: “She’s fine with it.”

The next morning, they arrived at the dock where Cole and Abby were already waiting.

The moment Abby spotted her, she broke into a wide grin and ran toward her. “Aunt Sarah! I missed you

so much!”

Sarah bent down, catching the little girl in a warm hug. “Abby, it’s been a long time,” she said, smiling.

She introduced Eliza to them, and Cole, ever the gentleman, greeted them warmly. “Hello, guys.” He handed them small, carefully wrapped gifts.

Eliza, flattered by the gesture, accepted her gift with a smile before shooting Sarah a knowing look.

Eliza was fifteen, and she prided herself on her ability to read between the lines. She knew that Sarah

was preparing to divorce Arnold, and now here was this well–mannered, good–looking man who seemed

to be interested in her.

Cole isn’t like Arnold at all, he’s noticeably more gentlemanly and attentive, especially when he looks at

Sarah, and not as cold as Arnold.

Elisa sincerely hoped that her gentle and pretty little aunt would be happy.

As soon as they boarded the cruise, Eliza took the initiative to take Abby for a playdate, leaving Sarah and

Cole alone.
