Chapter 733

Mr. and Mrs. Abernathy retired to their quarters, where Thaddeus divulged everything he knew about Edith and Glynnis to Evadne.

He could have easily kept it all to himself and dealt with the matter in private.

But that was no longer an option for him–under the thumb of his wife, he knew that omission equaled treason in her eyes. To incur her wrath was a fate he dared not tempt.

A woman like Evadne was not easily placated, and the thought of enduring weeks without her touch was a

Thaddeus‘ gaze darkened as he replied softly, “A paternity test was done back then. It confirmed Glynnis is indeed Frederic’s child.”

“Have you never seen a TV show? Anyone can fake the tests by buying off the doctors. If Elspeth could hide a murder for twenty years, what’s a paternity test to her?”
