“Mrs. Thorne hid for bover /bhalf a month, finally decided toe back?” Jaxson sat down on the sofa, blegs /bcrossed, with a meaningful look bon /bhis bface/b.

“Beckett was bparalyzed/b, he was stuck in a wheelchair for bthe /brest of his blife/bb./bb” /b

Jaxson saw through her thoughts, hands folded on his knees, “But don’t worry, I won’t treat you like I treated Beckett.” He changed the subject, “You might just end up losing your freedom like your husband did.”

Heather was in a total panic, like, she didn’t know what to do bor /bsay.

It’s really hard to keep it all inside.

bJaxson /bpropped his forehead with one hand, looking slightly cold, “Mrs. Thorne still doesn’t bwant /bbto /bbtalk/b?b” /b

“I…” Heather was really struggling..

“As long as you tell the truth, I won’t give byou /ba hard time.” The man tapped his fingers on the table absentmindedly, “But bif /byou bdare /bto blie/bb…/b”
