The Wife He Forgot to Marry (Winona and Yule) novel Chapter 845

Winona thought for a second and said, "I think the little boy at the park giving Audrey the bubble machine was part of the plan too."

If Audrey played with the bubble machine at home, the corrosive liquid would have undoubtedly gotten on everyone in the household.

The target wasn't just Audrey; it was her as well.

She wondered if someone from the Goddard family had finally lost their patience and made a move.

Was it Ophelia Powell? Daisy Falconer?

Seeing her panic, Stefan pulled her into a tight embrace, kissing the top of her head. "I'll find out exactly who it was. Winona, don't panic, and don't let it get into your head. From now on, Ezra and Waldo will personally screen every single item that crosses our threshold."

Winona nodded against his chest.

That night, her sleep was fragmented and plagued by nightmares.

Stefan felt her tossing and turning, keeping his arms securely wrapped around her to anchor her through the night.

The next day, Wynne Walden returned from the Powell estate and was furious when she heard the news.

"Who the hell is trying to hurt you and Audrey?!"

Winona tried to calm her down. "Stefan has people on it. We'll have answers in a few days."

Wynne held Audrey tight, her heart breaking.

She had desperately wanted her daughter and granddaughter to live closer in the capital, but with the ruthless Goddard and Shepherd factions circling like sharks, she was terrified for their safety.

Seeing her mother's distress, Winona added, "We're doubling down on security. Everything entering the house is being checked thoroughly."

Audrey had no idea what was going on, but seeing her mother and grandmother looking so serious, she waddled over and planted a wet kiss on both of their cheeks.

Winona and Wynne instantly melted, smiling as they sat down to play with her.

Audrey felt incredibly proud of herself. Every time she gave them kisses, they got happy.

It made her feel like a superhero.

A week later, Ezra finally tracked down the second delivery driver.

The man swore he had no idea the bottle was filled with acid and begged them not to press charges.
