Now it was Seth Quinn's turn to be baffled. 'From the sound of it, she doesn't know Cherie's illness was fake? And she doesn't know about his relationship with me either?'
'So what does she mean, his mom picked him up?'

'Skylar must have been afraid that if Clara learned the truth, she'd demand a divorce. That's probably why she had to make up this lie to fool her.'
Seth Quinn smiled wryly to himself. He had been planning to come clean, but now it looked like he would have to keep playing along.
