Chapter 23 Persuade Him To Accept My Gratitude

• Raelyn stated bluntly, her tone tensed yet tinged with a hint of forced aggression. "Let me make this clear. While I won't object to your role as Maddy's teacher, I expect you to maintain honesty and refrain from any attempts to deliberately forge a close relationship with him."
• Wynette couldn't suppress a flicker of amusement at the sight of Raelyn's obvious nervousness veiled beneath a facade of sternness. "Miss Morgan, which discerning eye of yours witnessed me making advances toward him?"
• Raelyn's expression darkened slightly. "If there's no ulterior motive, then why did he specifically request you as Maddy's teacher?" Doubt lingered in her voice, casting doubt on Wynette's capabilities.
