“Of course it does,” Irene said. “If Mrs. Slate was the reason Zachary got in bed with that woman, it means it was against his consent–that he didn’t mean to cheat on you.”

Lulu breathed a long sigh. “Doesn’t matter now. Even if he wasn’t willing, she’s pregnant with his child. Do you think he’d demand that she get an abortion?”
