Eva pulled out a chair and sat as Rosa busied cracking eggs and whipped her a delicious fluffy omelet. She served her breakfast with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice. Nothing store-bought in Rosa’s kitchen. It seemed she liked everything fresh.
Eva shoveled her food with gusto. “This is delicious, Rosa.”
“Why thank you, child.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever tasted an omelet this good.”
“You flatter me.”
“I’m not. I’m pretty sure of it. Even though I’m still hazy about everything.”
“You still don’t remember anything?”
“Sadly, no. I do know I like pink and an omelet is my favorite food.”
“You poor child.”
Eva grinned. “How was she? Natalie?” Eva was curious.
“Her?” Rosa snorted. “She’s not worth mentioning.”
“Well, I just want to know why Liam and she decided to get divorced.”
“She cheated on Mr. Caderyn.”
Eva widened her eyes. “She did? But why?”
“That, child, I don’t really know. Perhaps she was bored of him. Perhaps she was into Mr. Caderyn’s money.”
“Oh. He’s pretty well off, isn’t he? He could afford a private physician.”
“He is. And Doctor Hall is a family friend. He’s supposed to come and examine you today.”
“Liam left a note. Does Liam have siblings?”
“A younger sister. Caitlyn. She lives in North Side.”
“North Side?”
“Winnetka. She has a cute son, Brandon. That little button was two years old last month. Mr. Caderyn babysits him once in a while.”
Good-looking. Kind. And good with kids. He was definitely a keeper. “What about Liam’s parents? Are they still alive?”
“Sadly no. Mr. Caderyn Senior died in a car accident a few years back. Mrs. Caderyn was heartbroken and died soon after.”
“Oh, I’m so sorry.”
“Me too. They were really close. Soul mates, I’d say.”
Eva shoveled a mouthful of eggs and chewed. “Do you believe in soul mates?”
“Of course I do. Caderyns always marry their soul mate. Except for Natalie, of course. I don’t know what’s wrong with her. They looked perfect from the outside, but you never truly know a person’s heart.”
Soul mates. Eva still didn’t know much about Liam. But when they were together, it felt so right. Were they soul mates? Thinking about him made her blush. Rosa noticed it. She laughed and patted Eva’s hand.
“He’s good for you. Make him happy and you will be happy too for the rest of your life.”
