Chapter 273

• The woman seated on the chair next to Ben's couch stood up. "My name is Joanne White. My husband Michael and I came to an arrangement years ago that he would have his affairs and I would have mine as long as we didn't allow any discord into our home. We had my daughter Lily twenty years ago and I'm proud to say she is a beautiful, intelligent, and well-adjusted young lady. I'm moving to Florida to look after my ailing parents and to spend the rest of my life with the wonderful and faithful man that has been waiting for me to leave Michael." She turned to Ben. "If you are interested I'm going to be putting my home on the market as well. My daughter has two more years of college and it would be wonderful if she could rent out her room in the house until she graduates."
• "Joanne!" Hannah barked.
• "No, that's fine. Yes, I'm interested." Ben said.
