Rebirth In Divorce My New Mr. Perfect (by Summer Knowles) novel Chapter 547

"Finally I can be with you again. I only feel safe when you're around." Mia sat in the car the Reynolds had sent, clutching Sarah's sleeve in the backseat as if afraid she'd disappear.

Sarah noticed her anxious attachment. She'd always known Mia depended on her deeply, but this level made her uneasy.

At the Reynolds house, William had retreated inside, leaving Zachary and Vivian standing outside.

They stood in silence, Vivian staring at Zachary while he gazed in the direction Sarah had gone.

"She's been gone for ages. You still won't look at me?" Vivian's voice trembled.

Zachary snapped back to reality, his face blank. "No. I'm worried about Mia."

"Is it Mia you're worried about, or Sarah?" Vivian sneered.

Zachary just glared at her, refusing to answer.

As he turned to leave, Vivian blocked his path. "Answer me. Why are you running? Did I hit a nerve? You still love her, don't you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Zachary said coldly.

Vivian laughed sharply. "Don't know? Zachary, do you think I'm really that stupid? I know you love her, but don't forget - you've already promised my grandfather you'll marry me."

Zachary moved closer to Vivian, his expression dark. "My patience has limits, Vivian. Let's set that aside for now. But do you really think I don't know everything?"

"Know what?"

"If I were to say it out loud, do you think you'd still be standing here? Don't push me."

Sydney stared back with equal distaste, though forced to contain it. “Sarah, Auntie brought me to stay here for a while. I've already brought my things."

"Yes, Sasa," Aunt Amanda said sweetly. “Sydney is interning at Sanders Group. She needs a place to stay, so I thought she could stay here at Melvin's. Thankfully the house is big enough, plenty of rooms. You two should get to know each other better."

Sarah frowned slightly. "Aunt, does Melvin know about this?"

"I'll call him about it shortly." Aunt Amanda exchanged glances with Sydney.

Sydney immediately jumped in. “Sarah, we're both family. If you can stay here, obviously I can too. Melvin won't throw me out."

Sarah clenched her fists. What was Sydney playing at? With her family's resources, they could easily set her up anywhere in the East Coast. She was clearly here just to make Sarah's life difficult.
