Seducing My Ex's Father In Law by Caroline Above Story

“Of course,” Gavin said, nodding at the old woman. “It’s good to see you again, Esme.”

The woman, Esme, looked at him briefly, but didn’t say a word as her eyes drifted back home. I looked around, wondering if anyone had noticed this, but to my surprise, it was as if she were hardly there.

“She still hasn’t spoken a word,” Zachary said, almost thoughtfully, as he stared at the glass of red wine that sat in front of him. “Not since the day Lila was born.”
