Chapter 31

Chapter 31

The next morning, Victoria returned to the McNeil estate with a small team to pack her belongings.

Haley was also up early, having already finished her chores. She handed her remaining duties over to Xenia, the other housekeeper, and quietly followed Victoria out the door.

Watching her employer move out, Xenia sensed trouble. She wanted to call Mr. McNeil and let him know, but hesitated—she didn't want to be seen as meddling.

After a moment's thought, she reasoned that if Mrs. McNeil was really leaving, surely Mr. McNeil already knew. Otherwise, he'd be back by now, trying to stop her.

What a shame about those two-they'd always seemed like the perfect couple. And with a five-year-old child, too. Young people these days, she thought with a sigh. One minute they're together, the next it's all over, just like that.
