The real question now was why Evie was withholding the truth from Ezra?
Was there something she was hiding and didn't want him to find out?
Why would she ask someone else to act as her mother when her own mother had passed away?

They had spent quality time together, and he had learned about her family, which only fueled his desire to help her heal the wounds of her past.
Ezra was determined to make her feel whole, to stand by her side and support her, all the while remaining oblivious to the fact that she had deceived him.

The city lights sprang to life as they passed through the streets, and soon the imposing silhouette of the mansion came into view.
