Maja and Carol thought they were hearing things.
"What did you say?" Mia, with a smirk, realized her shock value and curled her lip in disdain.
"Looks like my brother kept it ultra-tight, huh? Even you guys are out of the loop. She's hidden in his mansion right now, haha." Maja couldn't sit still any longer. Piecing together that Fitch had been at the mansion for a week, she immediately stood up. She drove straight to Fitch's mansion, feeling restless until she saw things for herself.

Fitch's heart clenched at her words.

Maja, sweating with anxiety, felt Carol's comforting pat on her shoulder.
"Let's go back. We probably won't see her today." Fitch definitely wouldn't let Zoey meet anyone familiar now.
Maja glanced at the closed door one last tand sighed.
Meanwhile, Zoey, upstairs with Nolan, was oblivious to the below. She opened a nearby caband found two red booklets. Marriage certificates? Fitch and his wife's marriage certificates? It felt intrusive to pry open their privacy, so she closed the cabinet.
Nolan sat nearby, his nose buried in a book.
Curiosity got the better of Zoey, and she reopened the cabinet, just for a quick peek. She was genuinely curious about the woman who gave birth to such a handschild as Nolan.
