Night of Destiny (Anastasia and Elliot) novel Chapter 891

She gave herself a pat on the head as if to knock some sense into herself. She wished she was less sentimental because nothing good ever came out of it.

Back in the day, she had been so duped by Dexter’s occasional kindness that she was blind to his other flaws. Now, Richard was being nice to her because it was his duty to protect her, but she was reading too much into it, so much so that she started to fall for him.

“She would be devastated, and she’d insist on going back to see her mother,” Jared said sympathetically.

“But she has the right to know,” Sean pointed out.
