Chapter 117: The Contract
Serena brought Olivia’s paper up when she heard them getting out of the tub. Logan was sitting on Olivia’s bed. Both Oliver and Olivia were tucked in together and Logan was reading to them from White Fang by Jack London.
“Olivia, you left this downstairs,” Serena said, handing her the paper.
Olivia smiled and snatched the paper. “Right, Daddy Logan, this is for you,” she said handing him the paper. Logan glanced at Serena. She shrugged and Logan looked over the paper. Serena had already read what Olivia wrote, and she wondered if Logan would understand the strange spellings Olivia had used. “This is a contract?” Logan asked, glancing at Serena again. “Mommy, do you have a pen?” Olivia asked. “I’ll get one,” Serena said. She backed out of the bedroom and grabbed a pen off her own night stand. Then she rejoined the kids and Logan.
She handed the pen to Logan.
“Any questions about what you’re signing?” Serena asked. Logan chuckled.
“It seems that I am signing a paper contract that ensures I will be giving Olivia lots of gifts, now that I am her dad,” Logan said. “Is that right?” he turned to Olivia.
“Yes,” she said with a nod. She pointed to the line she’d drawn at the bottom of the paper for him to sign. “I need lots of presents to prove you’re Mr. Daddy.”
Logan chuckled and signed his name. Olivia snatched the contract from him and folded it up. She dropped it into the drawer of her nightstand. “Was there anything you needed from me, Oliver?” Logan asked. Oliver shook his head.
