Sheila was the only one at home. When she noticed Sandra's face looked
troubled, she walked over and gently helped her mother to a seat. "Mom, you and Dad went out together in such
good spirits. What happened? Why do you both look upset now?"
Sandra sighed. “Sheila, you spent stin Riverside, didn't you? Do you know what's going on between
Timothy and Jessy?"
Sheila hesitated. "It's complicated with the Lawson family. You saw it yourself— Sallie looks down on her because
she can't speak, and the rest of the Lawsons..."
Sheila's hint was enough for Sandra to piece things together.
"So the Lawsons still can't accept that she's mute. But Timothy chose to marry her, didn't he? It's not as if the
Lawsons expect him to find swealthy heiress for a marriage of convenience. They finally got married, and
instead of supporting the young couple, everyone's interfering. Don't they realize a good wife brings fortune for
generations? Haven't they heard that choosing the right partner matters more than anything?"

Abell rubbed his eyes. "I'm getting tired. Honey, can you helpback to the bedroom?"
Sheila jumped up. "Dad, lethelp you."
He shook his head. "No, | want your mother to cwith me."
Sandra and Abell had been devoted to each other all their lives. Sandra cared deeply for her husband, so she
walked with him to their bedroom.
Once the door was closed, Abell led Sandra out onto the balcony and lowered his voice. "Sheila spent stime
in Riverside. Do you think Jessy found out about her history with Timothy? Maybe that's why they're talking
about divorce?"
Sandra was taken aback. "I doubt it. That was all over seven years ago. They've both moved on, and everything
between them has seemed perfectly normal. They're both sensible people. There's no way anything's going on
between them now."
"You never know," Abell muttered. "Phelps calledabout it stago, toldto keep an eye on Sheila
and make sure she wasn't getting too close to Timothy. He was worried it might affect Timothy's marriage."
Sandra frowned. "Their family can't even treat their daughter-in-law properly, and now they want to blame
someone else? From what I've seen, Timothy's been keeping his distance from Sheila while he's here. They both
have."
"Women are perceptive," Abell said quietly. "Maybe Jessy noticed 0 something and just couldn't accept it. What if
we drag our old bones back to Riverside and see what's really going on?"
Timothy was already twenty-nine. Sandra and Abell were seventy-five now-moving around was getting harder for
them. Still, there wasn't much choice. They had to go back.
Their only daughter had left behind two children.
Timothy was settled, with a family of his own.
Sallie, though, was almost thirty and still refused to get married.
The two of them couldn't help but worry about their children.
So, they decided to make the trip back to Riverside.
That night, Timothy chlate. The old couple was already asleep, so they didn't get a chance to ask him
anything.
The next morning, over breakfast, Sandra and Abell asked Timothy when he
planned to return home-they wanted to visit relatives too.
Timothy replied he'd be leaving in the next couple of days.

Since his parents wanted to go as well, Timothy decided to charter plane for the trip. He called his assistant,
Allen, and told him to make the arrangements.
After breakfast, Timothy stepped outside for a smoke, leaving his phone on the table.
Sheila was preparing fruit for everyone when she noticed Timothy's phone screen light up with a new text
message.
