“What about your wife?” I asked as I leaned back in my chair.
“Screw her. She’s to blame for all of this, and I won’t let her stand in the way of my daughters and me anymore. I need to apologize to Jillian, and I need to meet Kristen.”
“I don’t know what you want me to do. I’m pretty positive Jillian won’t see you.”
“Then it’s up to you to make sure she does. Here’s my number. Please, Drew. I need your help.”
“You don’t even know me. How could you trust me?”
“I know enough. I know you’re in love with her. I saw it last night, and I see it now. People deserve a second chance. Even when they’ve screwed up so badly, they deserve the chance to make it right. Please, Drew.”
I sighed. “I’ll talk to her, but I can’t guarantee anything.”
“I know. I just ask that you please try to convince her.”
“We’re going to my parent’s house for dinner later, so I’ll talk to her after. Maybe the two of you can meet up tomorrow.”
“Thank you, Drew.” He stood up and held out his hand. “You’re a good man with a good heart. I can tell that much, and Jillian is lucky to have you in her life.”
After he left my office, I grabbed the files I needed and returned to the townhouse. Jillian would be upset when I told her that her father visited me, but that conversation would have to wait until tonight.
Chapter Thirty-Three
Jillian
Drew took hold of my hand as we walked up the driveway of his parent’s house. As we stepped through the door, he called out to them.
“We’re in the kitchen, honey,” his mom spoke.
When we walked into the kitchen, his mom was at the island patting together hamburger meat. When I looked at her, and she saw me, we stared at each other for a brief moment.
“Jillian?” She smiled.
“Andrea?”
Drew raised his brow as he looked at both of us.
“You two know each other?” he asked.
Andrea washed her hands, walked over, and hugged me.
“I can’t believe this. How are you, honey?”
“I’m good. Oh, my God, I can’t believe this.”
“Wait a minute. You never answered my question. How the hell do you two know each other?”
“I met Jillian at the hospital when she was there with her sister. We had a nice little chat, bagel, and coffee together in the cafeteria.”
“Wow. This is unbelievable,” Drew spoke.
“Hi there, Jillian. I’m Lou, Drew’s dad.”
“Hi, Lou. It’s nice to meet you.”
“Likewise.” He grinned as he extended his hand.
“Lou, take Drew outside and start the grill. Jillian and I have some catching up to do.” Andrea winked.
