Faux Vows, True Desires

Jeannie's heart ached for Janice.

Janice lost her beloved daughter and then went mad for over twenty years.

Now the mother and daughter were reunited, but Janice was still not back to normal, showing how deep the pain of these past twenty years had been.

Lucinda didn't know that Stefan's parents were back.

Jeannie and her husband weren't the type to make a fuss; even when they came back home, they didn't tell Stefan. As for the Anderson family, they've gotten used to it.

Ever since Frederick retired, the couple had been traveling frequently, enjoying their world for two. They said they were busy with work when they were young, and now that they're retired, it's time to make up for lost time. Once they left, they won't be back for several months.

Even when they did come back, they're just returning home, not being guests from afar, so there's no need for a big fuss.

So when Lucinda took Janice and Fiona home in the evening and barely stepped in the door, she ran into Jeannie.

Both of them stopped.
