Meryl had never lived abroad before. Everything around her now was completely unfamiliar.

God knew she had come to Havenbrook for work! But now, not only did everyone know she was divorced, they also knew she had a daughter. It wasn’t like she was trying to hide it.

Still, thanks to Dante’s dramatic entrance, the whole company was buzzing with gossip. Some people even said she was a heartless mother who had abandoned her husband and child.
