"For all we know, they'll come back expecting a second child."
Slumped over the steering wheel, Noelle let out a deranged, hysterical laugh.
Images of the past flashed before her eyes—Kaia, heavily pregnant, standing proudly by Finnian's side.
Finnian might not love Kaia, but he was fiercely dutiful.
If this trip to Switzerland bridged the gap between them, Kaia really might get pregnant again.
A terrifying chill crawled up Noelle's spine. A sense of impending doom suffocated her.
In the past, Noelle had relied on Kaia's gentle temper, knowing she could get away with her manipulative little games without Kaia lashing out.
But now, Kaia had drawn a line in the sand. Kaia knew exactly what she was doing. She was systematically reclaiming everything that rightfully belonged to her—and that absolutely included protecting Brynlee's inheritance.
A mother defending her child was capable of true ruthlessness.
Noelle's mind was in total chaos.
When she finally arrived at the upscale Western restaurant, the reserved table was empty. The man who was supposed to meet her hadn't even bothered to show up on time.
The utter lack of manners disgusted her. Every man she had ever entertained had always arrived early, desperate for her attention. She wasn't used to waiting on anyone.
Noelle sat down aggressively, snatching up her water glass for a sip. She was already furious, and this delay was pushing her to the edge.
By the third time she checked her watch, she shot up from her chair.
She wanted to storm out, but the image of Josephine's threatening glare pinned her to the spot.
