The delivery team explained to Bonita that Mr. Nelson had arranged the order and wanted everything brought to the house.
"Oh, well then have them bring it all inside!"
Bonita scanned the order list—mostly women's clothing and jewelry. She gave an approving nod.
"Mr. Nelson is getting more thoughtful and caring. He's showing he values his wife."
She directed them to carry everything upstairs.
Leonardo sat in the living room, hearing the commotion but unable to speak.
Daniel didn't even look toward the delivery area. He knew exactly what was being brought in.
Everything went into the upstairs guest room where Veronica kept her belongings. Once the delivery crew left, Bonita glanced at Leonardo, still bound by Joseph's handiwork.
She made no move to free him. She understood this was Joseph's doing, and releasing him would only lead to chaos.
