Sissy rolled her eyes dramatically, crossing her arms as she stared at Claire in disbelief. "Nope! I can't believe this! You must be possessed!" She grabbed Claire's hand with mock urgency and started dragging her along.
"Come with me! Let me take you to a holy priest!" Sissy exclaimed, her voice full of exaggerated concern.
Claire yanked her hand away gently, shaking her head with a chuckle. "Come on, don't be ridiculous!" she said, picking Eliam up in her arms. "I may not be rolling in cash, but you see, I have a husband who is very rich."
Sissy froze mid-step, her jaw nearly hitting the floor. "Wh… What?" she stammered, blinking at Claire as if she had grown a second head. "Don't you mean ex-husband?"
Claire shrugged nonchalantly. "Technically, no. Our divorce papers were never submitted," she said with a sheepish smile. "Back then, I was too dumb and didn't know much about all these legal things. I just wanted to get away."
