Ann was taken aback for a moment, but then her face lit up with joy. "Of course! I'll get a room ready for you right away." The house was a cozy three-bedroom place. Besides the master bedroom and Lisa's room, there was a spare room available. Ann quickly tidied it up. "Ms. Chloe, this room is yours now. Anytyou want to joinfor a meal, just cover." Chloe nodded, "Thank you." As she left Sundance Heights, her phone rang. It was Jacob. "Chloe, chfor dinner tonight. Your mom misses you. Jade's making your favorite cream puffs.

I know I wronged you on your birthday, but is it worth cutting ties over something so small? "You were the apple of our eye. Think about how we treated you. Can't parents make mistakes? "Besides, we didn't adopt Linda as our foster daughter, and Lisa apologized to you. What more do you want? "Stop being stubborn and chtonight. I need to talk to you." Chloe hung up. She already knew what Jacob wanted.

Chloe hadn't seen Lucas in almost a
month. He looked darker and thinner sitting quietly. He glanced up when Chloe entered/but quickly looked E away, his face showing deep fatigue.
