Chapter 291

"No," Camila Harrington shook her head. "Mom, I’m thinking of taking Lottie over to Nina’s place. I don’t want to trouble Sully anymore." She already owed Sullivan Fletcher too much, and involving him in her messy history with Prescott Ellington was the last thing she wanted. Prescott wasn’t someone you could take lightly. If he got the wrong idea… she honestly didn’t know what that man might do when he snapped. That was why, even though she was beyond furious last night being questioned like that, she still answered him truthfully. She and Sullivan were just friends—plain and simple. It wouldn't be fair to drag Sully into this whirlwind just to get Prescott to back off. She knew her own heart. As much as she hated it, she might never fully walk away from the sweetness and pain Prescott once gave her. Beatrice Fairchild wasn’t too surprised; her daughter was never one to be easily swayed. And honestly, she wasn’t disappointed either. Keeping Lottie safe from Prescott was the priority.
