“Don’t worry, it’s just a rumor. I mean, seeing how he and Ang have been so good to you and Lily, it seems almost impossible, Cassie rambled quickly.
Reba let out a long sigh, “I wish… Can you dig deeper for me? I’m not asking you to do this for free. I’ll pay you a fair amount, I promise. Please?” N?velDrama.Org ? content.
Cassie sighed deeply, “Of course, I’ll do it if you ask me. Well, I actually wanted to do it for free, but since I’m unemployed now, I’ll dly ept your offer,” she said shyly.
“You know what? Just work for me! Will you?” Reba blurted out suddenly.
“What? Are you serious?” Cassie responded, shocked.
“Yes! Keep me updated on everything! I gotta go, Lily needs me!” Reba eximed as she heard Lily crying. She rushed to the crib and picked Lily up, not wanting Sean to suddenly appear in her room like he had before.
She brought Lily with her to the bed, cing her beside her and watching her adorable face as a wave of guilt hit her suddenly.
“I shouldn’t have rushed into marrying Sean,” she murmured, gently stroking Lily’s forehead.

“Becky? Is this you?”
Reba’s eyes widened in shock, she straightened up, gripping her phone tightly.

Reba looked up and saw Sean standing in front of her with a te of pancakes. She stared at Sean’s face and could see the guilt there, though she couldn’t tell if it was genuine or not.
“Me too.”
That’s all Reba could say. She smiled briefly and then refocused on her coffee cup.
Sean sighed deeply. “I know I overreacted, but I did it because I care so much about Lily. I couldn’t protect Bea before, so I don’t want the same thing to happen to Lily,” he said, trying hard to convince Reba.
I know.” Reba nodded and took her coffee cup to the living room where Lily was busy ying with her hands. Sean soon followed and sat on the sofa not far from her.
