Sebastian hadn't heard the name Debbie Harris in a long time. It was a name that gave him nightmares.
Shouldn't she be living quietly in her hometown?
Why was his father bringing her up at his wedding? Old Mr. Blake hated her more than anyone else on earth, wishing she had been wiped from existence.
Sebastian shared that sentiment. He despised his biological mother, but he bore the unavoidable legal and moral responsibility of providing for her.
He had set up a strict arrangement years ago. He provided a fixed, generous allowance for food, clothing, and comfort. She could live a worry-free life, mingle with her friends, and even play cards in her hometown.
He didn't care what she did, as long as she stayed out of his life in Northwyn.
For years, Debbie had followed the rules.
Sebastian had ensured her basic needs were met but refused to give her a second thought. He never called her and pretended she didn't exist.
He hadn't heard her name in so long, enjoying his peace in the city.
Old Mr. Blake glared at him. "You truly have no idea what your wonderful wife has been up to?"
Sebastian looked at Bella, his eyes full of deep confusion.
Bella's heart skipped a beat. What was happening?
Since Old Mr. Blake knew about Debbie, why wasn't he protecting her? Debbie was the woman who had given birth to his heir! Why did he sound like Bella had committed a crime by bringing her to the city?
