Accidental Surrogate Chapter 380-Battered Ella

The four of us spent the next few hours talking, eventually ordering quite a bit of

takeout and making some complicated plans while Sinclair ate his weight in

Chinese food. The sight of him eating pleased me to no end, but eventually I

could see him running out of steam.

“All right,” I say quietly, looking significantly at Cora and Roger. “I think ….we

have enough to go on for now. We can pick up again tomorrow.”

“What?” Sinclair asks, frowning around at us though I can see him stifling a

yawn. “We have so much to do-”

“Enough,” I say significantly, placing my little hand over his larger one.” You’re

still exhausted, Dominic.”

He frowns at me and opens his mouth, ready to fight, but I shake my head once.

“Tomorrow,” I say, my voice a command. He narrows his eyes at me but I stand

strong. “I understand, Dominic. I know it’s in your nature to tear the world apart

in the effort to make it all better as fast as you can. But please, for me, can you

start tomorrow?”

He hesitates but sees the sorrow and worry in my face and, slowly, nods. This is

the last day you get to boss me around, trouble,” he growls, not happy about it.

“Tomorrow, I’m in charge again.”

“I’ll take it,” I say, leaning forward to give him a kiss on the cheek, Rafe curled

happily in my arms.

“I think it’s a good plan,” Roger says, yawning himself and stretching his arms.

He and Cora stand up and he wraps an arm around her waist, smiling down at

her. “Ready for bed, little mate?”

“Sure, little mate,” Cora replies, grinning up at him, knowing precisely what she’s

doing. “What?” Roger says with a start, frowning down at her. “That doesn’t

work, Cora – you’re the little one – ”

“But it’s sweet!” she says, pretending to be innocent and making me grin. I’m
