I Quit Being a StepMother Novel

Chapter 590 Kate took a long moment to calm herself . She racked her brain , trying to figure out how things had come to this . However , nothing felt devastating enough to explain Sawyer's change in behavior . If she had been unfortunate enough to meet a man who was two - faced and self - serving , she could understand . But Sawyer wasn't that type . After all , the Pearson family had already fallen . There was no reason for him to use them and act like this . It simply wasn't worth it . When she finally started to shake off the shock and unease , a thought struck her .

She could call Connor and let him know about Sawyer's change to prevent any potential disaster . She hadn't considered asking for help before because she genuinely loved Sawyer . He had given her everything she had once admired and yearned for in George , surrounding her with love for the first time since Evie's passing . That warmth made her reluctant to let go .

If only she hadn't insisted that Sawyer help Connor clean up that mess , she wouldn't be stuck like this . " Make some chicken soup . Fast , " Kate told a maid .

" After Kate left , the two maids in the kitchen , Lydia Steele and Taryn Holden , sighed . Keaton had brought them in , and they had worked for various wealthy families in Draventh , Eryham , and so on . But the heads of those elite households were always polite and refined .
