Chapter: 1456

The next day, it was Brody's ringing of the doorbell, arriving to take Nola and Rowan to school, that stirred her from her uneasy slumber.

“Thank you, Brody," Bethany said as she watched Rowan and Nola prepare for the day, grateful for Brody's reliability.

“Don't mention it. It's part of my duties working for Mr. Bates,"

Brody replied, his tone professional yet friendly.

"I won't be at the company this morning due to some due diligence I need to conduct. If you need anything, just give me a call. Also, would you like me to keep you updated about Jonathan?" Bethany was aware that this request might trouble Brody, yet she hesitated to ask Jonathan directly, fearing it might lead him to overthink.
