âNothing to do with you? Youâre pregnant with his baby, yet you say you have nothing to do with him?
Itâs alright if you donât want to help, but why would you lie?â Jacqueline Bowman snapped.
Just then, another car pulled up to the storeâs entrance. Grace got out.
When Jacqueline Bowman saw that someone was here, she frowned and said, âForget it. Iâll come and see you again when Iâm free.â Then, she left in a hurry.
Grace walked past Jacqueline Bowman and walked up to Kyla.
âWho is that person? A friend?â
Kyla said with a faint smile, âWeâre not really friends. Sheâs a former inmate. She was kind to me when I was in prison. I met her by chance a few days ago, but I found that she only wanted to use me to get to know Martin Weiss for business. She didnât really want to catch up with me.â
Grace sighed. âPeople are complicated. Sometimes, youâll meet someone okay, but other times, youâll find that theyâre not that great.â
âYeah, people are complicated. Besides, people will change over the years,â said Kyla.
âIs she the same person who helped you erase your tracks and avoid Martin Weissâs radar after you were released from prison?â Grace asked again.
âNo.â Kyla shook her head. âThat person⦠is my true savior. If it hadnât been for her, maybe Nelson and I would be worse off now. She was released earlier than me. I donât know why she ended up in prison, but I think with her ability, sheâll be fine after getting out.
She had wanted to meet that person all these years but it did not happen. She had no way of asking around either. Though that person had helped her out so much at the time, she only knew her name.
âIf itâs meant to be, then youâll meet each other sooner or later,â
said Grace.
âI hope so.â Kyla smiled. âBy the way, why are you here?â
âIâm here to give you your invitation card!â said Grace as she took out a party invitation card from her bag. âI just came from Linaâs place. Tinaâs almost one month old, and they want to hold her a full moon celebration. Lina and Hadwin Stephenson have only received a marriage license. They havenât held a wedding party yet. Hadwin Stephenson wants to hold a grand full moon celebration to officially announce Linaâs status once again, lest the tabloids make up some rumors.â
âIs⦠Is there a dress code for the party?â asked Kyla. After all, she did not have any formal dresses. She would make a fool of herself if she attended in her regular clothes.
Grace knew what Kyla was worried about and said, âWhy donât you and Nelson come look for me on that day before going to the party? Iâll get you both dressed for the party!â
âThatâs too much trouble!â Kyla said quickly.
âHow are you any trouble? Iâm your best friend and Nelsonâs godmother! Iâll get upset if youâre treating me a stranger,â said Grace.
Kylaâs heart melted, and she stopped rejecting.
âBy the way, I saw the boy from the Hunter family again when I left Linaâs place,â said Grace.
âHe went over to Linaâs place again?â
Grace muttered, âYeah, Lina said that the child would visit Tina once or twice a week. That child seems to really care about Tina. I wonder why heâs so interested in Tina? Tina is just a baby right now. Whatâs so special about her?â
Unfortunately, the boy from the Hunter family would not say why.
âWeâll find out in the future. At least, the child means Tina no harm for now,â said Kyla.
