When I did not move, Elliot came over and grabbed my wrist, saying, "I know you're upset about the ring, but I promised to get you a new one, didn't I? You're carrying my child. Don't be mad, or people will laugh at us!" I looked over at Joseph, who was approaching, and shook off Elliot's hand with an icy laugh. "People? Who are you talking about?" "Wendy, stop faking it! You're making me so mad! No matter how much you beg, I'm never going to marry you!" Elliot scrunched his forehead in frustration. He was about to say more, but he stopped short when he saw Joseph's name plaque on the seat. "Why? Why did Dad make a special name plaque just for him?" He looked totally shocked. He tried to pic

He turned to leave. “Wait.” Jeremiah’s voice stopped him again. Riley paused, glancing back.
