She’d been busy lately, but Heather never stopped digging into Jacob’s background.

She’d once thought Tyler was Jacob’s father, but privately asking Tyler confirmed otherwise.

Her investigation revealed Katherine hadn’t dated anyone abroad–her Instagram showed a quiet life, no children…

Jacob wasn’t Katherine’s son at all!

Since discovering this, Heather had people searching for Jacob’s birth mother, convinced the boy bore an uncanny resemblance to Geoffrey.

He might very well be Geoffrey’s illegitimate child.

Heather chased quite a distance but saw no sign of Jacob, so she thought she was mistaken and returned to the car.
