When she got to the stairs, she held the banister gently. “Send someone to keep an eye on her,” she ordered the housekeeper without looking back. Although Maria hadn’t emphasized who “her” was, the housekeeper was quick to realize that she was referring to Rachel. “Yes, ma’am,” the housekeeper said, bowing respectfully.

In the Sue Garden’s dining room. Exhaustion had plagued Rachel for the duration of the meal. Her pregnancy symptoms weren’t easing up as time passed. Drowsiness was one of them, and it had continued to grow stronger over time.

She yawned and put her spoon down on the table. She hadn’t seen Victor since their conversation ended in an argument that night. The radio silence actually pleased her, she hadn’t bothered to initiate conversation and was happy being alone.

Then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the weather outside. “It’s a nice day today,” she warmly said, looking out the window.

Soon, she remembered what she had said to him. “Quintin, if I hear one more word from that mouth of yours, I’ll throw you down,” she warned sternly.
