After a long moment, her emotions calmed. Without looking back, she opened the restaurant door and walked out.
Naomi Shaw stumbled into the living room, her steps unsteady. She forced her expression to look natural. The two children were playing, and she went over to hug Dylan.
"Mommy and Joy have to go now. Dylan, you be a good boy, okay?"
"Okay, bye, Mommy!"
Dylan leaned in and kissed her cheek, then furrowed his cute little brow.
Naomi Shaw picked up Joy.
"Joy, let's go home with Mommy."
As she turned, Julian Donovan looked at her.
"The driver's waiting downstairs. Let him give you a ride."
'He wanted to drive them himself, but he knew she would refuse.'
"Thank you."
She said her thanks and walked out with Joy in her arms, never looking at him.
The moment Naomi Shaw's figure vanished through the door, Dylan marched over to confront him. "Julian Donovan, did you kiss Mommy?"
