Оглавление“I won’t lose my daughter.
I’ll do anything to keep her.”
Wyatt flinched and looked away. “I’m sorry. I tried my best.”
“I know.” Charlotte boldly grasped his arm, forcing his gaze back to her. “Thank you.” The time had come. “Will you help me again?”
Confusion clouded his expression. “How?”
She opened her bag and pulled out the wallet. “Charles left me some money. Whatever Mr. Baxter paid you, I’ll pay double.”
He pulled back. “It’s not that simple.”
“Of course it is.”
“No, it’s not. The Orphan Salvation Society has an agreement with Greenville. If the judge rules that the children must go to Greenville, then I have no choice but to take them.”
Charlotte shook her head. He didn’t understand. “I’m not talking about all the children. I’m talking about Sasha.”
Instead of walking away or shouting at her, he spoke firmly. “There’s nothing I can do to help you keep Sasha.”
“Yes, there is.”
He stared at her. “No, there’s not.”
“You can marry me.”
