Bound By His Daughter

CHAPTER 7

“I live here.” she said as-a-matter-of-fact.

“I own the house…” she said “…now at least.” she murmured.

“Who owned it previously?” he asked, praying silently that she would give him a name and he’d be on his way in search of the previous owners.

They entered the living room and Ceaser saw some toys at the corner and a duster on the table.

She was cleaning.

“I’m sorry about the mess.” She said as she picked the duster and took it to the kitchen which was open to the living room. “Have a seat please.”

Ceaser sat and waited for her to join him.

It was hard to believe a woman like her still existed in the world, women who didn’t care about money and status as most of them did. She was different, she was good, kind and uninterested in wealth or status and if she found out who he was, she was likely to turn her back on him and walk away. He couldn’t let that
