Chapter 36 

She probed, half–joking. I saw through it, smiling expressionlessly.“Ms. Warren, you worry too much. Mr. Hamilton treats Ms. Warren with such sincerity, why should Ms. Warren still doubt Mr. Hamilton’s true feelings?” 

Caroline’s expression stiffened, but she held it together. 

Jaxson was outwardly kind to her, but distant. 

She was terrified that his guilt would fade, leaving her with nothing. 

She feigned calmness.“How could I suspect Jaxson? He’s been good to me, even though I left him years ago, he still remembers me. You have no idea how happy he’s been staying with me these days, keeping me company with Collin!”

Before, his touch had suggested some feeling. 

But now, seeing the truth…
