Chapter 78
“Ms. Morin, Eloise is jest your friend’s daughter and the goddaughter of Damien’s uncle. It’s not appropriate for you to pick her up every day. I even heard that you two are living together,” Lucy remarked.
“That’s our business. It’s nothing to do with you
“Indeed. It has nothing to do with me. But you don’t even pick up your own son, yet you’re picking up your uncle–in–law’s goddaughter and raising her? Aren’t you worried about what people will say?”

When he testified in court on Lucy’s behalf, he looked just as aggressive and self–righteous as he did at that moment,

“You like Mc Wrenford, don’t you?”
Eloise lowered her head and smiled shyly. “Mr. Wreatord is quite gentle. When he visited Mommy, he always brought rue gifts.”

Their ampoken understanding showed there was some sort of mother–daughter connection between them.
