Sophia placed her hand on her chest, visibly relieved. "Mom, you're not going to leave again, are you? Without you, I feel like I can't handle it."

"I'm not going anywhere. I'll help you secure Mrs. Reed's position," Grace said, her eyes shifting before asking, "About what you mentioned last time, Nathan wanting to reconcile with Emily, what's the story there?"

As soon as the topic was broached, Sophia was filled with frustration.

"What else could it be? It's just because Emily is attractive! I don't know if she had plastic surgery after her divorce, but she's completely transformed. Ever since Nathan saw Emily, he's been distant with me."

Grace's expression softened slightly. "If it's just because she's good-looking, you don't have to worry too much. Men are fickle, it's not surprising."

"But, Mom, you don't understand, he's been acting like he's enchanted lately. I don't know what spell Emily has put on him, he keeps thinking about her."

Grace thought for a moment, sighing.
