Chapter 55

Early the next morning, Stanley called and urged Joseph to hurry, saying they had arrived.

Elowyn and Zaid also got up early, but they didn’t head to the company right away because they were going to visit Quinlyn’s house later.

Joseph watched with a hint of annoyance and reminded her, “Mom, don’t be so dramatic Quinlyn can take care of herself just fine

“No matter how capable she is, she’s still a young lady,” Elowyn shot back without looking at him.

She added, “When I was pregnant, I wanted a daughter; I never thought I’d have a son. And here you are–always and grown–up: you won’t even let me dress you up.”

“Let me grab an umbrella for my daughter, Elowyn said, heading inside the house. Moments later, she came back with an adorable children’s umbrella for Quinlyn.

Quinlyn almost said no, but when she saw the cute kitten design on the open umbrella, she couldn’t resist accepting it.
