Chapter 133

“Your father’s. It’s his birthday today, remember?” I explain, glancing back at him.

He cocks a brow.

“Oh, thank you!” I exclaim, accepting the white roses. He has two other bundles and I smile, knowing instantly that one is for Valerie and the smaller bouquet is for Sia. “This is so sweet.”

He gives me a curt nod in response as I step aside, allowing him in.

“It’s nothing.”

‘He’s here! Stay ready guys.’ I tell Valerie.
