Evelyn woke up earlier than usual the following morning, and got out of bed, ready to start her day.
Regardless of the circumstances, it wasn't every day she had the rare opportunity of having all her kids together at the same time under her roof. It had been such a long time since they all visited this way, and in as much as she was mourning her late father-in-law and friend, she knew she had to make sure her family was well taken care of.
She sent one of the housekeepers to go inform everyone in their various bedrooms that they should be down for breakfast by 8:30 A.M.
As she busied with preparing breakfast for her family, her thoughts drifted to Kimberly's visit the previous evening and she sighed as she thought about Lawrence and how much damage it could do to his reputation if the news got out.
