“And me too. But, there’s something about him. He’s someone else with you. I am glad you didn’t make him your lawyer.”
It had been a point of contention in his relationship with his friend. But after the e-mail he’d sent to Adri, Cam no longer felt guilty about it. “It wasn’t a business decision. I was advised not to hire friends to handle my business affairs. Then again, I’m full of shit, since I hired you.”
Chase shot him a crooked smile. “But I’m brilliant about making you money and you know I would chop off my own arm before I failed you.”
“I know. He might have gone because maybe he thought I didn’t listen to his advice the other day.”
His brother flipped his palm up in question.
“He went to see me when I went to the art show. It was the day I met Bron and saw Adri again. He was giving me sound advice on getting a paternity test and he offered to set it up. I told him no, that I would let my lawyers handle it.” Cam finished his burger and pushed the plate aside.
Chase grunted. “That must have been another blow to his mammoth ego.”
“He was looking out for my best interests because he said that I’m always stupid around Adri.”
His brother nodded. “You are.”
“He sent her an email with a paternity test request.”
A muscle ticked in Chase’s jaw. “That asshole. He’s not your fucking lawyer. I don’t think he gets that shit. You’re never going to hire him.”
No, Cam never would. “It bugs me even more after today’s visit. It would be normal for a friend to check up on this for another, but…”
“…you had it under control,” Chase finished. “There was no need for him to go check and definitely not without telling you. Unless he really was just looking for Lauren.”
“Yeah. Are you going to tell me what he did to her? I think I should know, since both you and Adrianna get this death glare when his name comes up.”
Chase shoved more fries in his mouth and took his time chewing.
“Did he physically harm her?” No, it couldn’t be. Elias would never do anything that would jeopardize his law career. Even back then.
“No. He just played with her feelings then humiliated her.”
Cam frowned. “Is that the only reason you don’t like him? I keep thinking you never liked him since you first met him.”
“I didn’t. He hated me first, though.”
“Why do you think that?” Cam asked.
“Because he wanted Walter for a father and you for a brother. He could’ve kept Walter. I would be more than happy to gift wrap that motherfucker and send him to him.”
Cam barked out a laugh.
“But Lauren…I guess I’ll have to come to Baltimore to make sure that walking queef doesn’t try anything with her again.” Chase smiled again.
Cam sobered up. “She’s Adrianna’s best friend and like a second mom to Bron. You better not mess with her.”
