The Shocking Secret Of A Guest At The Wedding (Millworth Manor) - Plot & Excerpts
“I thought perhaps you weren’t planning on returning.” An annoyed frown creased his mother’s forehead. “She thought you might have escaped,” Lucy said. The innocent note in her voice did nothing to disguise the laughter in her eyes. “I would like to see Jackson alone, Lucinda.” Mother cast Lucy her most imperious look. “So, if you would be so good as to take your leave . . .” “Oh, I couldn’t possibly.” Lucy sat down on the sofa, settling back as if she fully intended to stay for a while. Jack stared. Defying his mother wasn’t at all like Lucy. But then hadn’t he noted a change in Lucy on the night he had first met his father? He wasn’t sure how or why but then, and now, she seemed, well, stronger. A bit defiant, a touch independent, but certainly not the more docile Lucy his mother had thought so perfect for him. Of course that was before Jack knew the truth about his father. Before Lucy had urged him not to consider himself under any obligation to her. Before their lives had changed irrevocably.
