Sonya approached me swiftly, presenting a bundle of exquisite flowers
She affectionately brushed Elenaâs head.
âDebra, your daughter is absolutely adorable, and she bears a striking resemblance to you.
Sheâs bound to grow into a stunning woman.
â Her words were laced with gentle admiration.
âThank you, Sonya!â
Their kindness warmed my heart, casting a comforting glow in my chest.
Sonyaâs smile dripped with honeyed sweetness.
But as soon as her eyes met Calebâs, her entire demeanor changed.
A cold snort escaped her lips, and her face twisted into an unfriendly expression
Caleb was left utterly speechless
Once we stepped away from the crowd, Caleb couldnât help but voice his frustration.
âDid you see how differently they treated us?â
I couldnât help but feel perplexed.
âWhatâs happening?â
Elena, on the other hand, seemed unfazed by the situation.
âItâs very simple.
The whole town knows that Mommy and Riley saved everyone.
They respect Mommy very much.
â
She tilted her head and cast a fleeting glance at Caleb.
âBut Daddy is another story.
People see him as the villain, the one who failed to protect Mommy and me.
â
Suddenly, I burst into peals of laughter.

Everything became clear to me at that moment.
UncontroLlable laughter spilled from my lips as a wide grin stretched across my face.
It appeared that Calebâs reputation as a disloyal partner had taken root deep within the minds of the townspeople.
No wonder they harbored such disdain for him.
Caleb was in the depths of despair, lamenting, âSeriously, Iâve put my heart and soul into safeguarding this town.
Why are these people so oblivious?â
I giggled mischievously.
The sight of his distressed face brought immense joy to my heart, and the anger I had been carrying around just evaporated into thin air.
The three of us arrived home.
Taking hold of Elenaâs hand, I led the way to the entrance, prepared to swing open the door.
âWait!â
Caleb abruptly halted me in my tracks.
I noticed a sudden change in his expression, so I asked, âWhatâs the matter?â
Calebâs eyes were icy and his voice grave.
