Dorian furrowed his brows. "A daughter? How come I've never heard President Lancaster mention she has a daughter?"

Grace seemed equally puzzled. "Who knows? But lately, when I've been out playing cards, I've overheard a few of the ladies say that President Lancaster has been talking about her daughter a lot, like she's absolutely smitten. Yet, no one's ever seen her."

Alden chimed in, "For someone like President Lancaster, a strong woman in her own right, it wouldn't be surprising if she had a child without being married.
