"You…" Gwyneth gasped, stunned that Aspen would dare confront her so directly in front of Colin.

Realizing she wouldn't win this argument, Gwyneth quickly tugged at Colin's sleeve and whispered, "I'll leave you two to talk. Don't be too rash, Colin. Ms. Nicholls is just throwing a tantrum. Work it out slowly, okay?"

Take it away!"Gwyneth's smile froze momentarily, but she quickly regained her gentle expression.She walked to the bedside, placed the soup bowl on the nightstand, and said softly, "Madam Ellie, I know you're still angry with me, but I sincerely want to take care of you.
