章 358: It's A Part Of Life

Talana nibbled on her perfectly manicured nails. When she was particularly stressed that childhood habit came back.

She had done her best since giving up the baby to turn herself into the sort of polished woman that no one would ever suspect had been a teen mother. She studied hard to go to a good college, where she had met Bryant.

His family was fairly well-off, which was why he had the seed money to start franchising in the first place. From there his natural business sense took over until he managed to make a good living for them. They would never accept the truth about her either. If it managed to leak out, she would never be able to bounce back.

She had to find a way to get in touch with the Barbers and see what they knew. Without Bryant finding out. Doing it while he was at work and the kids were at school was the only option.
