She wondered who else she would offend. No matter how tactful she could be, she would always end up offending Natasha. Shelmaine also thought it was funny how Eliana was suddenly lecturing her

Even when Shelmaine hadn’t done anything, Natasha still thought of her as a rival. But when Shelmaine faced Eliana, she lacked courage. She’d never imagined her first meeting with Sammel’s family to happen under such circumstances,

“I understand why you’re telling me this, but 1 can promise that what you’re worried about will not happen. I am divorced from Samuel, and I do not want to be related to him in any way. As for the baby, it will be my responsibility to bear.”
