Chương 103: Her Child's Pain

Ashleigh sat quietly in the passenger seat of the SUV. They had been driving for an hour already without a word. She glanced at her mother, unsure if she should ask where they were going.

Ashleigh confirmed Corrine’s suspicion about what had happened between her and Granger. And though Ashleigh had made sure Corrine knew that Caleb had stopped him before things went too far,

Corrine had been unable to control her temper. She had destroyed several pieces of furniture and even thrown Ashleigh’s desk into a wall.

But she hadn’t really said anything.

“Mom…” Ashleigh said.

Corrine did not respond.

Ashleigh sighed and looked away.

“I’m sorry,” she said softly.

Corrine slammed on the breaks. The seat belt tightened painfully against Ashleigh’s chest as her body was jostled at the sudden drop in speed. Before she could recover, Corrine had already turned to her, grabbing one of her hands and squeezing it.

“You have nothing to apologize for!” Corrine stated firmly.
