Her thoughts danced between curiosity and concern as she looked at her flat belly.
Lyndon had been residing at the Moreno residence.

âI have a bit of business to tackle.
Be right back.
â Lyndon, sensing the tension, excused himself.
âOkay.
â Rosalynn nodded with a glass in her hand.

âSo, Rosalynn, youâve become quite the talk of Skrix.
Eyes everywhere.

She had to warn Rosalynn, even if she didnât want to mistrust her.

Iâve never been healthier!
Working with a manageable workload will work for me.

She thought about Valeriaâs pregnancy at this same time and could relate to Valeria better now.
The thought of being controlled didnât sit well.
âYou canât predict everything.
Regret might hit if something goes south,â Noemi cautioned, her tone serious.
âThe firstborn is crucial.
Mishandle it, and making other future babies gets complicated.
The Hughes lineage needs an heir.
â
That was a weighty statement, indeed.
