Claudia Ross instantly recognized Charmoline Barton's voice, as if someone had struck her mute, freezing her entirely from head to toe.
Charmoline Barton's tearful voice continued: "Wyatt, I beg you, don't send me away. I promise I won't let your wife know that Esmee is my child. I just want to see you and Esmee every day. Wyatt, please…"
Claudia Ross was utterly dumbfounded.
Why would Charmoline say this? What was her relationship with Wyatt Perry? And what was her connection with Esmee Perry?
Inside the room, Charmoline Barton's cries rang bitterly. Outside, Claudia Ross felt dizzy and almost fainted.
Like she was bewitched, Claudia Ross fled in panic.
Driving away, her tears blurred her vision countless times.
At last, she couldn't hold on any longer, pulling over to the roadside, dropping her head onto the steering wheel, and sobbing uncontrollably.
Why? Why did it have to be like this?
Charmoline Barton turned out to be Esmee's mother…
