Elizabeth Aitken glared at Jake Leaford, annoyed.
Originally, she just wanted to come by herself, but not only did Jake Leaford shamelessly tag along, he even brought Michael Gallagher with him.
Seeing that there was an extra man in Molly Walker's house, Elizabeth felt a pang of jealousy.
She knew Jeremy Norman, having often seen him in the news; the last time was when the paternity scandal made headlines.
Between Jeremy and the celebrity, she was firmly in Jeremy's camp.
"Is now not a good time for us to be here?" Elizabeth asked.
"I think we've arrived just in time." Jake grinned as he put one arm around Elizabeth's neck and the other around Michael's, looking like a cunning old fox.
Elizabeth responded with a cold laugh and elbowed him hard in the chest. Jake yelped and clutched his heart, his face contorting in pain.
Michael's eyes, as dark as obsidian, held an enigmatic sheen, and a subtle smirk played on his lips.
