“Debra, you didn’t choose to retreat.

I’ve been really worried about you.

“I’m sorry, Harlan, but I can’t leave.

I want to protect Roz Town on my own terms.

Harlan sighed in frustration, but he didn’t object.

“Well, I’LL respect your decision.

But please be careful.

As soon as the carnival begins, it’ll be harder to keep tabs on you.

Make sure you don’t expose yourself, okay?”

“Don’t worry.

I have Zoe and Riley.

I don’t think anything will happen

And if something does happen, I’ll tell you right away.

Harlan readily agreed.

“If there’s anything I can do to help, I’ll do it.

“Thank you, Harlan,” I said sincerely.

After hanging up, I took Elena to the kindergarten.

Anna‘s eyes Lit up as soon as she saw Elena.

Anna promised me, “Debra, I promise I’ll take care of Elena just like before.

No one will replace out about her.

Just as I was about to leave, I saw something that surprised me.

Luca was playing happily with the other kids in the kindergarten.

I figured that he had made up with Riley.

I left the kindergarten with a huge grin.

But what surprised me most was that the mayor of the town wasn’t here to greet the guests personally.

Just as I was starting to wonder where he could be, Adam’s car suddenly came into view and pulled to a stop at the gate.

The guard immediately ran to the car to open the door.

I saw a pair of red high-heeled shoes first, and then an elegant-looking woman stepped out of Adam’s car.

Because the woman had her back to us, I couldn’t see her face.

But I could see that she was very slim and that her long curly hair was shiny and beautiful.

Adam was very polite with the woman.

After he got out of the car to join her, he kept smiling.

For some reason, I felt a little uneasy.

Why did this woman look so familiar?

Could she be…?
