Chapter 16 — Our Children

“Jonathan and I wrote our wills three years ago,” I said, and my voice did not shake.

“When both of our children were alive.

Do you understand what those wills were for?

They were written so that if anything ever happened to us, our money would protect our children.

Every provision, every clause, existed for one purpose: to keep Samuel and Charlotte safe if Jonathan and I were gone.”

I looked at my father through the glass.
