Her eyes widened, hurt filled her eyes so sharply it felt like a punch to my chest. I could almost hear her heart crack.“What?” she whispered.Then louder, shaking from.anger. “WHY…why will she stay with us? WHY!?”Her voice echoed through the house.Red smirked. “Obviously because she needs care and this is her home now. Unlike some people who keep running around with questionable men.”Aurora spun toward her. “Red, Are you happy now.. you still got Rylan in your fingertips!….”“Ofcourse, I am happy and I am just getting started,” Red cut in sweetly, pulling a file from her big bag. “Since everyone seems confused about
