Isla Prescott only found out later that while she had been away on a business trip, Shane Sterling had already visited Susan Dudley in North Lane, his arms full of gifts.
According to her mother, Susan Dudley, the day Shane Sterling came to visit was the busiest time for her shop.
Without a word, Shane Sterling rolled up his sleeves and started helping out.
Who would have thought a rich young man like him would be so deft at clearing plates and wiping tables?
That entire morning, Shane Sterling bustled about the shop. Thanks to him, Susan Dudley and Mrs. Dudley finally had a chance to catch their breath.
For the next week, Shane Sterling made time every morning to go to the shop. During Susan Dudley's spare moments, he gradually and honestly explained everything: his family background, his relationship with Isla Prescott, and even the circumstances of their previous breakup.
