Sting. Burn. Stab.

“Kristen and Noah are leaving tomorrow for Italy,” I spoke out of nowhere.

“Good for them. Italy is beautiful. I love it there.”

“I’ve never been.” I sipped my wine. Okay, I gulped down my wine.

“You should try to get there someday. I think you’d love it there.”

“Maybe I’ll head there on my next adventure.”

“Let me know what you think,” he spoke.

“I will.”

“I think Lia and I are going to head out. Her kids are with the babysitter, and she needs to get home.”

Kids? Was he serious?

“She has kids?”

“Yeah. Two beautiful little girls.”

“That’s nice.” I gave my perfected smile.

“Have a good night, Jillian.”

I gulped. “You too, Drew. Thanks for coming.”

“It was my pleasure. Oh, and by the way, the bill is already taken care of. My gift to the bride and groom.”

“Drew, you didn’t have to do that.”

“I know. I wanted to.” He winked as he walked away.

Chapter Thirty-Nine

Drew

As soon as Lia and I climbed into the Bentley, I looked over at her.

“I feel like a total dick for doing this.”

“Don’t, Drew. She was upset I was there with you. She kept staring at us all night.”

“You think?”

“I know. I’m a woman. I can read other women. She was definitely not happy.”

I sighed.

We pulled up to Liam’s townhouse so she could get the girls, and then Roland was going to drive her home. Upon walking into Liam’s house, the girls came running and hugged Lia.

“Where’s Uncle Liam?” I asked them.

“In the family room.” They giggled.

Walking into the room, I saw Sophie standing in front of Liam with what looked like makeup brushes.
