“Yeah, Jenna,” he agreed. “That’d be great.”
Who’s Jenna?
“You can come get her key from my place in like an hour. I already booked your flight for nine tonight. Yeah. Her address is”—he lifted what appeared to be my driver’s license—“5725 35thAve, penthouse 12.”
I snatched it out of his hands. “What are you doing?”
Chance bowed his head, placing his hands in the pockets of his jeans.
“Okay, thanks again, Jenna.” Ledger hung up, gesturing at me. “Let’s go.”
By the determined expression on his face, I knew what he was going to say next wouldn’t sit well with me.
“You need to listen to me because I’m only going to say this once.”
I defiantly folded my arms over my chest.
“My assistant Jenna is flying out to your place tonight to pack your things for you.”
Through a clenched jaw, I warned, “Ledger…”
“You’re moving in with me. End of discussion.”
I opened my mouth to reply, but Chance intervened, “She can move in with me.”
Ledger pointed out, “With all your remodels?”
Chance owned a very successful construction company.
“You’re swamped with work,” Ledger added. “You don’t have the time—”
“And you do?” Chance countered.
“I’ll make it work, and when I can’t be with her, Haven can step in for me.”
I looked back and forth between them. “Hello… I’m standing right here. Can you not talk about me like I’m not in the room with you two? Besides, Haven has her own life she doesn’t need—”
“My sister absolutely adores you, Hazel. She’d love to spend time with you.”
“I haven’t been around her—”
“She was just telling me how much she’s missed you. Trust me, she won’t have a problem helping us out.”
I was taken aback. “She was?”
“Yeah, after she yelled at me to be nice to you so you’d visit more. She also said you were like a sister to her.”
I frowned. “I missed her too. She was the sweetest little girl.”
“That little girl is now living with her bar-owning, twenty-five-year-old boyfriend, who I try not to fucking kill every time I see him. Our family's history with him isn’t exactly the best, but he makes Haven happy, and that’s all that matters, I guess.”
“Wow, and I thought you were overly protective of me.”
“I protect anyone I love.”
I lowered my gaze, trying to avoid the sincerity in his.
“I hate to break up this magical moment, but as much as I hate to admit it, and believe me, I loathe this idea of you moving in with him, but Ledger’s right. I’m book solid for the next few months. It’s probably best for the baby if you move in with him.”
