“Gorgeous indeed.” But he wasn’t looking at the ring. “It was my Grandmother Whitlow’s. She wanted me to have it so that I could give it to my future wife.”
“Futurewife. Holy crap, Noah, I’m going to be your wife!” She twined her fingers through his hair and offered him her lips, but the sound of tires rolling on the driveway drew his attention. He recognized the car and the driver before Ethan stepped out.
Despite years of contention, Noah smiled. His cousin had surged to his defense when Hill had come to his office. Ethan had even been the one to call for Emma and—
“It wasyou.” Realization leveling him, Noah looked from Ethan to Emma for confirmation. “You’re Emma’s confidential client. You’re the reason—”
That Phillip had been arrested and not me, but Noah didn’t dare add the latter.
Ethan had turned evidence on his father. Noah couldn’t imagine what kind of courage that had taken. Or what kind of emotional backlash Ethan must be experiencing.
“I didn’t know what Father was planning,” Ethan said. “He kept talking about a scheme to prove that I could run Whitlow Group. I thought he was talking about the fundraiser, but when I heard about the fire at Emma’s house, it made me start wondering.”
“And when he found evidence,” Emma picked up, “he confronted his father. After that went south, he and I connected. We’ve been working with the police and DA for days, helping them build their case. Now, I was hoping the two of you could sit down and discuss ways to heal in the aftermath, both as the future custodians of Whitlow Group and as a family.”
She was right. His family needed to heal, but so did hers. It might be two different types of healing, but Noah would figure out a way to do both. He’d bring his family back togetherandgive her her brother back. But that was a miracle for another day.
He linked his fingers with Emma’s. He already had today’s miracle.
