Reclaiming Her Heart

Paul was using the Adams family's connections to find out that Christopher's research involved human experiments, which are a big no-no everywhere.

Raymond's eyes were glued to the computer screen, showing the poem they found earlier. It was their only lead.

Paul smirked, "Heading back already? Tessa waiting for you? Heard she's been bringing you food lately."

Raymond ignored him and went straight back to Manston Manor.

Carter was already there on the couch, holding a gift he got from abroad-a tie clip.
