“Understood, ma’am.”
When the server returned with the bill, he offered his credit card.
Scandalized, Kaylee gasped. “Mr. Fr—”
“Evan,” he corrected with a Dom-like scowl that threatened retribution. “And we’re family now. I’ve got this.”
“Thank you,” Laura said simply. “It’s appreciated.”
After he signed the receipt, he handed it to Kaylee so she could see the tip. “I trusted you!” she protested. Despite herself, his generosity impressed her.
“No you didn’t. And as my wife, you’ll have a right to know about the financial decisions I make.”
This was a lot, maybe too much to take in all at once.
He leaned forward to address the oldest of the kids. “Will you excuse me if I take Kaylee away from you?”
“I drove,” Kaylee protested. “I can meet you later.”
“No chance.”
She recognized the set of her future husband’s jaw.
“I’ll drive your car, Kaylee,” her mother decided. “You can pick it up when you’re ready.”
Frost drummed his fingers on the table. “Actually, we’ll take it.”
“What?” Perplexed, Kaylee glanced at him. “That doesn’t even make sense.”
“Jennings can drive your mom and the kids home and then take the rest of the night off.”
“I don’t expect you to—”
He leaned forward and silenced her with his mouth. “I know you don’t. Which is another one of the reasons I love you.”
In the end, they all walked outside together, and Jennings immediately jumped out of the vehicle and came around to congratulate her and Frost and to meet the rest of the family. “I look forward to taking care of you all.”
Within a few minutes, her family was seated and belted in.
Evan leaned in and said, “Hello, Jolly?”
“Hello, Frosty!”
Oh no.Kaylee winced. The kids would never forget that.
“We’ve got company, so behave.”
“Of course, Mr. Frost. Who do we have?”
The kids and even her mom introduced themselves. “They’ll be part of the family from here on out.”
“Indeed? Well, congratulations and felicitations!”
“Thank you.”
“What is that?” the oldest boy asked.
“A computer.”
