"Tom, what relation do you have with my mother-in-law?" Kate asked straight to the point. "Are you one of her subordinates?"
Tom glanced at Dahlia, who kept her relaxed yet mysterious smile as if this wasn't a big deal.
Dahlia stared at him back and nodded slowly, giving him the green light.
Thus, Tom took a deep breath and told the truth, "Forgive me for hiding it for so long. Yes, I am one of Madam Hawthorne's subordinates. I've been working in the Hawthorne family since I was eighteen."
Kate sighed.
As expected, there was no way Dahlia and Henry could find her so easily without any mole inside the bakery.
"And what is your real name?" Kate asked.
"Tom is my real name, Ma'am," Tom replied. "Please don't misunderstand. Madam Hawthorne has ordered me to become your only guard as you had a fresh start in Camden, but that doesn't mean I never enjoyed our friendships. You are an amazing woman, Ma'am."
