Chapter 577

"Gwyn, why don't you take Celia and Chris outside for a bit? The adults need to talk."

Victoria's tone was as sweet as if she were coaxing a child.

What did she mean, "the adults"? Hawthorne, apparently considering himself one

"Go on," he said gently, ruffling her hair. "I'll come find you in a little while."

Gwyneth hesitated, caught off guard by the warmth in his eyes. For a moment, they just looked at each other, and in the end, she gave in.

Hawthorne's face remained calm, his voice steady. "I understand."
