Everett gave a slight nod.

With a smile, Alex waved goodbye to Haley, "Bye, Auntie has to go now."

Haley waved her chubby little hand, "Bye-bye, Auntie."

Her sweet, innocent voice could melt anyone's heart.

It was about time she put this on her agenda. She needed to find the right guy for the job before she ended up being an older mom.

These days, if you nail the right persona, you can turn things around and even gain a loyal fanbase.

Later, her brother informed her that the hitman was dead, leaving her with no loose ends to worry about.

Joy had a blast for two weeks, until her plane touched down in Newport.
