“Stop defending him! Wise up! There are so many fish in the sea. Why him? Can't you Live without him?" Hartwell was deeply disappointed.
Sensing his anger, Joslyn wasn't happy. She glared at him.
"Hartwell!
What is wrong with you? Blair is hurt. Quit stressing her out."
Hartwell made no retorts.
Blair touched Joslyn's hand and said quietly, "It's okay. I know he means well. You should chill too. Stress is bad for the baby
