"Can't you just make some allowances for Suzan? She's pregnant, after all."

Adeline shot Mitchell a sharp look. She had her own opinions about Suzan getting pregnant before marriage, but the fact was, Suzan was carrying the Lloyd family's child. Once the baby was born, he would be the heir, the first grandson- something those bastards outside could never compare to.
