Chapter 202: A Mother's Truth

 Violet Adair looked at Delaney with a serious but sad expression. She took a deep breath before breaking the news that she knew would hurt the younger woman.

 "I was told that Cora and Miles were going to be coming to stay with you for a time," Violet spoke and Delaney wondered how on earth the dowager already knew this. It had only been decided days ago and Vincent had left only yesterday to go to them.

 "I wanted to come to speak to you before they arrived because I recently received some news about them," she paused before continuing, "Delaney... Cora is pregnant."

 Delaney swallowed hard and immediately dropped her gaze. The news hit her like a punch to the gut.
