The little girl looked at her shyly, tears clinging to her long, dark eyelashes. “Secret cookies? What do they taste like? ”She asked hesitantly, wavering between suspicion and curiosity."Hm, I have no idea, that's why they're so secret," Faith replied with mock perplexity. “I'd have to try again. - Would you like to help me with that? Something tells me you're a really great secret cookie taster. "After a long hesitation, Emily finally nodded. "Okay."Faith smiled satisfied, got up again and held out her hand to the little one. "Come on, let's go over to the kitchen and have a look."Emily slipped her fingers trustingly into Faith's hand and followed her out of the room.As Faith crossed the hallway with her, she felt the man's gaze boring into her back, and the hair on the back of her neck rose.Seconds later, Emily was sitting at the kitchen table chewing, a plate of chocolate cookies in front of her.“And

They left the study together, and at the same moment Molly and Emily came through the front door.The little girl had flushed cheeks with excitement and beamed at her father, who leaned waiting against the frame of the kitchen door."Aunt Molly and Aunt Polly have lots of animals," she told him enthusiastically. “There are sheep and chicks and chickens and even a pony. Aunt Molly said I can ride it if you let me. And as soon as we've got everything ready in the house, I'll have my own rabbit, ”she gushed excitedly."Always slowly, young lady, it's not that far yet," Lucian affectionately braked his daughter and crouched down in front of her. "There are a few things that need to be sorted out first."********Even though Faith's head was buzzing from everything that had happened, she couldn't help but notice how the jeans tightened around his muscular thighs. Involuntarily she wondered what it would feel like to run her hands over it.

In anger, she confronted her father, and he didn't even bother to deny it.“It has nothing to do with your mother and me,” he told her. “It's purely physical. I love your mother, but I don't get what I need from her. ""But she's your patient, you swore an oath," Faith yelled at him. “How can you do something like that? And do you have any idea what you're doing to Mom with it? "Her whole view of the world was in pieces within a few seconds, and her mother had not recovered from the shock either. She became ill and continued to deteriorate until she finally had to be taken to a sanatorium, where she died a short time later.That same day Faith had dropped her studies, packed her things and left for London. She had never seen her father again since then. He had done everything to get her to return, but she had never forgiven him for what he had done to her mother.Tears rolled down Faith's cheeks when she thought about how m

It had never been difficult for him to win over women, his looks and charm had always made it easy for him to get what he wanted. Until he met his ex-wife he hadn't been a food lover; he had gained experience as almost every man does in his younger years.He had married Alice when he was twenty-four, had believed she was the right one and was ready to give up his freedom for her. However, he quickly discovered that she neither shared his ideas about marriage and family, nor did he reciprocate his feelings in the least. They were divorced a year later, and he hadn't entered into a steady relationship since then.He had banned words like love, affection and trust from his linguistic usage, he would never let another person get so close to him again, he had sworn to himself.He'd thrown himself into his work to numb himself, to forget what Alice had done to him. When his physical needs got out of hand, he'd found a woman somewhere who, like him, wasn't interested i

Lucian looked disgruntled after her. He didn't like the thought of Faith discussing with this handsome Shane where her bed should be any more than he liked the fact that she was in such a hurry to get out of here.When her aunt suggested that she work for him, he had hoped for a moment that she would accept. But it should have been clear to him immediately that she would refuse, she certainly had other plans than to perish here in this village.“Thank you for not saying anything, Dr. Clarke, ”Molly cut him out of his thoughts."I don't like this hoax at all," he admitted uncomfortably. “It's not fair to her. Why don't we just tell her? She'll find out someday anyway. ""You saw how she reacted when she heard that Elliott had let you do the practice," said Molly sadly. “Faith always hoped to take her father's place one day, she even started medical school. But then her mother died, because of that she fell out with her father and di
