“Charlotte told them she forgave their son.”
“And that pissed you off?” Stefan asked.
“Yeah. It did. But I let that shit go. It won’t change anything.”
“I’m proud of you, bro.” Jackson placed his hand on my shoulder.
“I have some news,” Shaun said.
“Jenni’s having triplets?” Simon chuckled.
“Shut up, douchebag.” He flung a bottle cap at him. “You know the two-story apartment building on the other side of the wooden fence by my house?”
“Yeah,” we all said.
“That eye sore.” Sam shook his head.
“Guess who bought it along with the property?” He grinned.
“Shut the fuck up,” Stefan said. “Did you really?”
“Yep. Mr. Childs contacted me and asked if I’d be interested.”
“That guy is such a shady motherfucker,” Sebastian said.
“Yeah. He and Dad were rivals back in the day,” Simon said. “Why does he want to sell it?”
“Look at it. The building is practically falling apart. He lost all eight tenants he had, and for what he’s charging for those apartments, people aren’t renting. You should see the inside. It’s absolutely disgusting. He got into trouble with the IRS and owes a shitload of money in back taxes, or he’s going to prison. So, we met, and I offered to buy.”
“You are going to fix up the building, right?” I asked.
“No. I’m having it demolished, along with the wood fence, and building two more houses.”
“So, that part of the beach will also be ours?” Sam asked.
“Yep. Our stretch of the beach just got a little bigger.” He grinned.
“May I ask whom you are allowing to move into these houses you plan on building?” Simon asked. “There aren’t many people out there that will put up with our shit.”
“I’m hoping that Grayson and Gabriel will move here.” The corners of his mouth curved upward.
“That’s a big hope, bro,” Stefan said. “They seem to be content in Boston.”
“We’ll see. I’m sure between all of us, we can talk them into moving here. Besides, they belong here with us,” Shaun said.
“I agree,” I spoke. “The medical center sure could use an internist.”
“Yeah. We definitely could,” Jackson spoke. “The only issue is Grayson.”
“His job requires a hospital setting,” Christian said. “I’m sure George would hire him if he wanted to work at Cedars.”
“Don’t mention any of this to them,” Shaun said. “Not until everything is finalized. The next time they come to visit, we can feel them out and get their thoughts.”
“Anyone hear from Mom lately?” Sam asked.
“She texted me yesterday to see how Charlotte was doing,” I said.
“She hasn’t been to see her?” Shaun asked.
