“He didn’t,” Susan responded, her tone filled with bitterness.

Elaine said, “I’ll talk to Dane about this later.

Don’t worry, Susan.

I know my son well enough.

It could be just a misunderstanding.

If not, I’ll deal with him.”

“Oh, Mrs.

Johns, you don’t need to do that.

And besides, Dane and I are not suitable for each other,” Susan quickly responded, waving her hand dismissively.

“Why do you say that? I actually think you’re the perfect match for him,” Elaine said, clearly pleased with her.

She imagined how delightful it would be to have Susan as her daughter-in-law and how much fun they could have together every day.

Susan decided to steer the conversation elsewhere.

“Mrs.

Johns, how about we go grab some food first?”

A N G E L A ‘s L I B R A R Y

They picked up some lunch and enjoyed it together.

The atmosphere felt as cozy and intimate as a family gathering.

After they finished their meal, Madisyn left first to get back to work.

Dane and Elaine headed out together.

“Dane,” Elaine said as soon as they were in the car, “who’s the new person you’re seeing now?”

Dane frowned in confusion.

“Mom, who are you talking about?”

Was Elaine referring to Susan?

“Don’t lie to me.

Susan told me everything.

Who said she’s your girlfriend?” Elaine frowned.

“No one,” Dane replied.

But then he remembered Evie.

When Josie had pestered him, Evie had mentioned that she was the girl he liked.

Did Susan hear that?

Dane began to piece things together.

He remembered that Susan had planned to visit him that day but suddenly canceled and left Gemond.

It dawned on him that she must have heard everything.

He was struck with regret for not having asked more directly.

How could he have let Susan go through such an ordeal?

Just as the car was about to pull away, Dane suddenly threw open the door.

Elaine looked on in shock.

“What are you doing, Dane?”

“I’m going after your daughter-in-law!” he said, disappearing in a flash.

Elaine quickly understood and broke into a smile.

Young love was truly wonderful.

The driver asked, “Mrs.

Johns, shall we head back now?”
