“Yes,” he breathed out. “I had no choice. You said I should investigate to prove Kelly that she’s wrong, but I’m proving myself wrong, Em. My father was involved in her mom’s death. I’m sure of that.”

I shot an eyebrow up. “You don’t even have a proof.”

“No concrete evidence, but I heard him twice talking to someone about certain documents that could be used as evidence against him.”

We can just get both.”“Then the baby can’t use the other pair.”He shook his head. “It doesn’t matter. We can just have another baby.”I laughed again and pinched his side. “Whatever you want.
