Reborn, Reawakened, Rekindled

Chapter 415

“Norah, I need you to remember something,” I said seriously once Neil and his group had left.

“What is it, Ms. Finch?” Norah nodded.

“You have to be careful when you take Serena and Brandon out on their own. Don’t let those people from earlier come too close. You got it?” I was worried Ryan and Faith hadn’t given up, so I had to caution Norah.

Norah, understanding my complicated relationship with the Whitmore family, simply replied, “Got it.”

After giving the kids a bath, Norah and I retreated to our bedrooms. Before turning in, I dialed Russel to fill him in on the situation.

Russel was on night shift, but he wasn’t too busy. After hearing me out, he said thoughtfully, “Try to minimize contact with them. If they insist on a paternity test, let me know, and I’ll handle it.”

“Can you manipulate the results?” I blurted out.

Russel went silent for a bit before saying, “Don’t worry about that. I’ve got it covered.”

He didn’t answer my question directly, but it wasn’t something one could have messed around with lightly.
