Fall For My Ex's Mafia Father novel Chapter 287

“Hi!” I say, beaming up at Daniel cheerfully. And then I laugh harder as he frowns down at me, because he doesn’t know just how much he looks like his dad right now.

“Well,” he says, moving into the room when I step backwards to make space for him. “You’re…happier than I thought you’d be.”

“I got over it,” I say with a happy sigh, moving over to my vanity to sit down as Daniel shuts the door behind him.

“You did?” Daniel asks confused. “How –“ but he goes silent as he looks at the bed, seeing the blankets mussed on both sides, the indentations in both pillows. “Oh gross, Fay,” he groans, making me laugh harder.

“Seriously!?” Daniel says, gesturing towards the bed. “He came up through the wardrobe? He slept here?”

“We were in a fight,” I say, giving a little shrug. “We…made up.”

Daniel pretends to gag as he moves to lean against the wall, apparently having no desire to sit on the bed until the sheets are changed. I grin at Daniel in the mirror as he shakes his head at me. “Well, you’re welcome,” he says, with a smug little shrug.

“What?” I ask.

“I went down and yelled at him last night,” Daniel replies, “after I left your room. He was all pissed off and determined to pull his lone wolf act, but I told him to talk to you. So, you’re welcome.”

I smile at him again, deeply this time, truly touched. “Thank you, Daniel. But…well, then this is your fault,” I say, nodding to the blankets. Daniel frowns at me and then, glancing at the bed again, he groans and tilts his head back as he realizes I’m right.

“I told him to be nice to you,” Daniel mutters, looking down at the floor. “Not to…nevermind, Fay. We’re changing the subject!”

And so we do. Daniel and I chat leisurely for a while, going about our normal morning routine, and I’m very pleased to see that things easily return to normal. I’m starting to feel lighter now – I’m back on good terms with Kent, I’ve had a good laugh with Daniel. It seems like the start of a very good day.

Before long, a knock comes at the door.
