"Exactly."
The woman sitting across from her responded, "Emily Taylor must be fuming right now. I'd love to see the look on her arrogant and disdainful face. It's probably as colorful as a dropped spice rack."
The woman talking was on the verge of fifty, but she looked more or less in her thirties.
Her face was as young as a girl's, her skin delicate, smooth, and translucent.
Every frown, every smile carried the charm of a woman.
If Emily Taylor was here now, she would want to tear that smug smile off this woman's face.
Because this woman had disrupted Emily Taylor's marriage back in the day.
She had caused Emily, while pregnant with Aidan Lucas, to nearly die in childbirth due to stress.
This woman is Tara Hammond, the everlasting love of Theodore Lucas, Aidan's father.
And the young woman idly petting a cat is the second child of Tara and Theodore.
She is three years younger than Aidan, his half-sister, Evelyn Lucas.
