It was her mother-in-law, Lana Lewis.
Molly Walker answered the phone: "Hello, Lana."
On the phone, Lana Lewis sounded a bit impatient. "Come back to the villa. I have something to ask you."
Molly paused for a few seconds before replying with a simple, "Mmm."
Her mother-in-law had always been the kindest member of the Gallagher family that cared about her, even covering her grandma's hospital and medical expenses without hesitation.
On the day she mentioned divorce, Michael had advised her not to let her mother-in-law know about it.
But there were no secrets in this world, and her mother-in-law would eventually find out.
A light drizzle fell, millions of tiny droplets cascading off her umbrella.
Molly closed the umbrella and stood at the entrance of the villa.
This standalone villa was nearly as large as a small estate. When she first moved in, she had felt out of place, but her mother-in-law's patience had helped her learn everything about the home.
