The more she thought about it, the fishier it seemed.
Cornelia said, "Yeah, it's quite possible that our mom wasn't our mom at that time, but the woman we now know as Clair."
Tahlia asked, "Our dad loved our mom so much, wouldn't he have noticed if his wife was switched?"
Cornelia replied, "I'm not entirely sure about the specifics of what happened back then. Maybe because our dad loved our mom so much, that's why he never suspected anything when that woman pretended to be her."
Tahlia asked, "What do we do now?"
Cornelia said, "The one with all the answers about what happened back then would be Clair. She's our only lead."
Tahlia asked, "Is there anything I could do to help?"
Cornelia ruffled Tahlia's hair and said, "Just keep doing your job. I'll handle the rest. Let’s head back to Riverton. If Marcus comes home from work and I'm not there, he'll be worried sick."
Tahlia asked, "Are you staying at home tonight or going over to his place?"
Cornelia said, "I'll stay with you tonight. Let him have his house to himself."
Tahlia said, "You and Mr. Hartley just got married. You should spend more time with him. I don't want to get in the way."
Cornelia said, "Enough chit-chat. Let's go home."
......
Cornelia drove back the same way they came. Over an hour later, they exited the highway. As soon as Cornelia’s car got off the highway, Marcus called.
Cornelia picked up immediately and was met with Marcus' deep voice, "Pull over now!”
She pulled over at once. A familiar luxury car was parked next to her in the parking area. Marcus slowly rolled down his window and looked at her.
