(MoonlitMountain) Chapter 10
Judith showed him the divorce certificate.
“Sarah didn’t tell you about this?”

Caleb looked confused. He knew he signed the papers, but he didn’t know I
had even gotten the certificates! The divorce had been a month in the making!
He asked why Judith helped me and set him up with Olivia.
“I know that Olivia broke your heart. But now she’s back, and you’re
divorced. I thought…”
Everyone used to say he and Olivia weren’t made for each other. Now,
everyone
said they were perfect together. He felt uneasy.“But I didn’t agree to
divorce Sarah.” As he said that, he felt a pang of panic. He’d gotten used to me taking care of him, and he couldn’t imagine life without me. I loved him so
deeply that the divorce must be a joke.
Judith showed him the contract. It was a contract about paying a debt of
gratitude and my signature was on it.“Mom, what’s this?”
Judith explained, “When Olivia left you for her ex–husband, you were
heartbroken. I wanted someone to help you move on.” She asked me to fulfill the contract and I did it well. I had never called her Mom and considered myself as
Mrs. Hayes.
