Chapter 226

Maddox

Just as I got off the phone with Uncle Sebastian I arrived at the parking lot of my father’s restaurant

I was aware that I was a few hours late and I was ready for whatever was about to come my way

The senior staff members were already lined up in the lobby ready to welcome me and I barely looked at all their faces as I accepted the warm welcome because I was in such a hurry to get to my father I needed to go upstairs where he had his own private section

When I pushed open the door leading to where I was going to find him, he raised his head from his medium sized round table He had been waiting for me for wo kong that even though I was finally there, he looked like he was over it.

“I was wondering if you were ever going to whom

I forced a chuckle as I approached the table ‘Tared a long time ago. Didn’t the staff tell you? I’ve just been downstairs for a while and

“So you’re telling me that my staff to the reason sow walling so hard?

“What?” My head tilted as I sat down arrows from hom

“There’s only one person who can make you mike lukur that and the the reason you weren’t here on time.”

While I was glad that it was so obvious that I couldn’t stop thinking about Harper, it wasn’t a good look for me at that

moment.

I can explain.” I said quickly

“Don’t bother ” He lightly gestured with his hand in a dismissive way. “I’ve gotten used to the fact that she now takes up most of your time”

“It’s not like that. It’s just that last night she made me this tasty meal and there was so much going on this morning Flost Track of time.”

I knew I was lying about that part because Harper had clearly reminded me several times that I was already running late and I kept saying I didn’t mind meeting my father a bit later. Now that I saw his face at that moment, I felt awful. He wasn’t me at me. He just looked like he had gotten tired of waiting for me.

He stared at me for so long with a blank expression after I was done explaining myself that I was ready for something harsh to come from his mouth.

But then, he said, “The important thing is you had a great time.”

I was so relieved that I chuckled as I talked about what he had just said. “When she’s around. I always do

“You re lucky I kept myself busy because I wouldn’t be here right now. I’ve been meeting up with some old trends”

My eyes narrowed thoughtfully “That explains why you’re not so mad at me So what did you want to talk about?

Won’t you order something to eat first

I henly shook my head I’m not hungry Harper and 1–`

“Of course.” He nodded in understanding with a chuckle. “Anyway. I wanted to talk about Tiffany. She left home this morning along with Grayson.”

I wasn’t expecting to hear Grayson’s name and that made me raise my eyebrows a little.

“He came over?” I asked.

“He was a few hours late but the important thing was that he showed up for her yesterday.”

“Cool, but why did you let her sleep over?”

He leaned back in his seat. “I just felt awful. Tell me something. Am I a bad person for exposing the truth while she’s pregnant? I’m starting to think that Margot was right.”

I immediately leaned forward. “You shouldn’t feel that way.”

He nodded lightly as he stared at the surface of the table. “I just didn’t see myself waiting too many months to tell her while pretending to be her father. I wonder if she’s spoken to her mother now. She didn’t seem to be in the mood this morning when she was leaving with Grayson. I can’t stop thinking about him.”

“Why?”

‘When he arrived last night, I could tell just how deeply hurt he was by this news. He even asked if I still consider him my son–in–law.”

I fought hard not to roll my eyes at that moment. “And what did you say to that?”

He sighed. “I told him that he should never think that way again.”

‘Does that mean you’re still considering him as your son–in–law?”

There was a long pause before he said, “Yes.”

‘That means you still consider Tiffany your daughter.”

He clenched his jaw, like the answer was too difficult to say. I waited in silence because I wanted to hear it from hun

Finally, he said. “You shouldn’t even have to ask me because you already know the real answer since everything is your name.”

I leaned back in my seat as I thought about that. “It’s crazy that while Tiffany’s life crumbles when it comes to who he thoser is, Harper’s life is just beginning. I’m going with her to meet the Beauregards”

“Harper Beauregard,” he said as he looked around. “Who would’ve ever thought that she belonged to that tamdy

While he kept talking about how impressed he was that Harper was one of them. I sull wasn’t done talking about Evitiny bot I didn’t want to interrupt him.

When he finally gave it a rest, I said, “Do you really have no clue who Littany’s father is?

He sighed heavily. “My people are very good at investigating, but that part hasn’t yet been figured our Maddox
