Concealing her envy, Eliana forced a smile for Sadie.
“Even though Miss Moore came with Mr. Mitchell, I don’t automatically assume the worst. Maybe she’s dealing with her own struggles. As Mr. Mitchell’s companion, Miss Moore must have made certain sacrifices; let’s not jump to conclusions. She had plenty of male friends even before she was married. It’s just how she socializes.”

“Hannah, it was so boring without you!”
“Grace! Mind your manners!”
Franco’s words made Grace draw back a bit, her lips pursed in a sulk.
“Grandpa, you’re such a _ killjoy! Always picking on your own granddaughter!”
Alexandra Mitchell, wife of Franco, observed from the sidelines, her eyes settling warmly on Hannah.
“Miss Moore, you truly are a beauty.
I’ve heard so much about you. You’ve done wonders for Grace’s health.
If you need anything, don’t hesitate to ask. We’ll do our best to accommodate you.”
