"You did that?" Maisie asked in surprise, unexpectedly discovering that Gloria had helped Minos.
Maisie had believed the entire time that Gloria and Minos' story was merely about the Black Plain's independence war, with such a woman becoming more involved with him than she should have.
But young Stuart's mother had at no time considered the possibility that Gloria had done something like helping Minos. After all, why would she do that?
She was from the Spiritual Church, and the very fact that she would give something to someone in this region could be considered a favor.
Maisie then saw the affirmative look on that redhead's face and pressed the issue. "If that is the case, you are solely responsible for all of this!"
"Yet, you still try to punish my son?"
"What?" Gloria said in surprise as she rose from her seat with an expression of strangeness on her beautiful face.
