At the window side of the tea house, the white gauze curtains fluttered slightly, making people's hearts itch with impatience.
Phoebe Belmont leaned against the window-side sofa, her face filled with frustration.
Time ticked by, yet Samuel Richardson did not arrive.
Samuel Richardson was her only hope now.
Thinking about the unknown father of the baby in her belly, Phoebe felt nauseous.
After Stephen Crane had said that day the baby wasn't his, he had entered the Leaford family's villa.
She didn't leave but quietly inquiring about Stephen Crane and Molly Walker's relationship, she heard some shocking news: it seemed that Stephen Crane had an unclear and unspeakable relationship with Molly's grandmother.
If Stephen Crane became Molly's support, Daniel Thompson would probably have to relent and acknowledge Molly again.
Thinking about her fruitless efforts, Phoebe was both angry and agitated, only wanting to firmly grasp onto Samuel Richardson's support.
