"Our focus should be on the Caldwell family right now!" Jude reminded him sternly. "They might retaliate!"
Safety should always come first, right?
But Seth just said, "Don't worry about the Caldwells. They won't dare do anything to me. And if they did… wouldn't Noreen pay a little more attention to me then?"
Jude was speechless. No wonder they said being love-drunk was a sickness that needed a cure.
The few short words in that text had reignited all of Seth's hope. He didn't sleep a wink and left to find Noreen at five in the morning. By the time he arrived, it wasn't even six.
The sun rose early in Harborview City. Noreen was already awake and having breakfast with Katy when she received a call from Yolande.
Yolande said she wanted to treat her to a meal to thank her for her help years ago. Noreen was about to decline, but Yolande added, "My brother will be there too. He said he saw you at the banquet but never got a chance to talk to you properly."
Noreen didn't recall seeing him at the banquet, so she asked casually, "What's your brother's name?"
"Silas."
Noreen's eyebrows shot up. What a coincidence.
She accepted the invitation.
Just then, the Joyner family's butler came over. "Miss Gilmore, there's a Mr. Harcourt outside asking for you."
Noreen immediately thought of Seth. She didn't know many people in Harborview City, after all.
"Tell him I'm not here," she said coolly.
"I believe he already knows you're here, miss. That's why he came," the butler replied.
