She had noticed Felicia’s unusual feelings toward Edward, which seemed inappropriate given that the Graysons had raised her as one of their own since she was a teenager. Not only that, but such a matter was even less acceptable in this era.

He said. “Felicia keeps her emotions to herself and tends to overthink things. She’s always been independent since joining our family. But I can assure you that in the Graysons bousehold, we value faimess over family ties.” 

Edward wanted to avoid saying anything negative about Felicia. Still, he assured Melanie that with the Graysons, wrong was wrong, and right was right, regardless of who was involved.

julia had no complaints. She appreciated Melanie’s trust in giving her the key on her first day and felt honored to be left in charge of the store. 

“Go ahead. You don’t have to worry about anything here; I’ve got it covered,” Julia assured. 

Melanie nodded. “Thank you! I’ll bring back some lunch when I return.” 

Afterward, Melanie hopped on a bus to the driving school. In those days, getting a driver’s license was much simpler. She knew that once she had it, driving would make stocking the boutique so much easier
