Chapter38

Maureen had worked relentlessly all these years, caring for two children and Zoe, terrified of failing them.

Now her earnings could comfortably support the family.

Why would she sell her composition to Andrea for money?

Back home, Maureen set her phone aside and sank into the bathwater, thinking how to retrieve it fastest.

Maureen was so exhausted that she dozed off in the bathtub.

Her friend Katherine’s call startled her awake.

“Reenie, I’m coming back in a couple of days.”

Maureen wrapped herself in a robe. “I’ll throw you a welcome party when you’re back.”

“Great.

And that hypocrite Andrea–does she know you’re back?”

Katherine sounded genuinely concerned.

“Andrea hasn’t found out yet, but she will soon.”

Maureen walked to the window, summer breeze warm against her skin. “As for Geoffrey… don’t worry, he can’t touch
