"True love..." Shannon Vance frowned, murmuring the words under her breath.
'Yeah, what if this time it's true love?'
'The Archie Lockwood in her memory, the Archie she knew, had never truly cared for any woman. That's why, for all these years, she had always let other women get close to him.'
Seeing the awful look on Shannon Vance's face, Shirley Lockwood felt a pang of sympathy and asked with concern, "Miss Shannon, what's wrong?"
"I-I'm fine..." With a pale face, Shannon Vance shook her head. She looked at Shirley Lockwood and asked cautiously, "Rory, am I usually good to you?"
"You are!" 'Aside from wanting to marry Dad, Miss Shannon is pretty nice to me.'
"Since I'm very good to you, you'll be on my side, right?"
Shirley Lockwood nodded without a second thought. "Mhm, that's right..."
"Then, Rory, would you be willing to be my little helper?"
"I am."
"Then will you help me, Rory, by secretly keeping an eye on your dad and Miss Bishop's every move? Okay?"
