Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

"You look just like my husband did back in his younger days."

The elderly lady sat down, her hands trembling slightly, as she finally gave voice to her thoughts:

"And you're even wearing the Sharp family heirloom-something your mother, Kelly, left for you, right?"

"I watched Kelly grow up. She was incredibly smart, way ahead of many guys. She and Jules were madly in love, but just when things were heating up, the McCoy family elders forced her into marrying the Rowland heir. Even though she married Mr. Rowland, Kelly was too sensible to have a child with a man she didn't love."

"Kelly giving you the Sharp family heirloom ring was her way of saying you're one of us. Only a Sharp would recognize its significance."

Morris said, "You're sharp, ma'am, but it's a pity your son turned out a bit slow on the uptake."

The elderly lady laughed softly, "Oh, you cheeky boy, why talk about your father like that? Jules isn't slow; he just never thought he deserved happiness, so he couldn't believe he'd get lucky."

Morris cut in coolly, "Madame, Jules and I are just related by blood, nothing more."

The elderly lady was shocked, "You're not planning to acknowledge him?" Morris nodded.

Her face fell, "Are you still upset with Jules? He did side with Mick earlier and hurt you. I'll make sure to have words with him."
