“He didn’t leave straight away, he was listening,” I say.
Drew shrugs. “So he’ll have heard us say we’re not bothered by his shit and that we’re in this together, no matter what. Let him hear. Let him know he doesn’t have any control over us. The wedding, the babies, any of it. The sooner he accepts it, the better.” He brushes my hair away from my face and kisses me. “I didn’t wait four years for you to let an asshole like my father get between us. Not happening.”
I slide my hands up his chest and reach up to stroke his jaw.
“He asked me to marry him just before you got here.”
Drew exhales a half grunt, half laugh.
“I don’t want to cause your family any more hurt. What will your mum think?”
“She’s divorcing him. The papers are all being filed. She kicked him out, and this time she won’t be taking him back. She doesn’t blame you. She’s known what he’s like for a long time. She’s finally doing something about it.”
He does his best to ease my guilt, pressing his lips to my forehead. “She asks after you and the babies every time we speak. It might not be the usual start with a mother-in-law, but I know you’ll get on great one day. She sees how much I love you. And she heard about you a lot before any of this happened. You don’t need to worry about anything other than cooking those babies nicely, okay?”
“Okay,” I murmur, leaning into him.
His hand drops to my bump. “I’ve missed you three. Want me to show you how much?”
“How much?”
“Three orgasms on my face ought to do it.”
I laugh and sink my nose into his shirt, inhaling his scent.
“Sure.”
Chapter 27
Sophie
“It says the sizeof a bell pepper each,” Drew says, astonished.
I watch him on my phone screen as he turns the page in the baby book he’s holding. I place my pen down on top of the case files on my desk and lean back in my chair.
“Nice to see you’re working hard and not just calling me to talk about the babies again.” A smile lifts my lips. I secretly love it that he calls me at work every day, even when it’s only been a few hours since we were last together.
“Hmm?” He looks up from the page and gives me a dazzling smile. “Got to take breaks, Ms. Havers. Increases productivity in the long run.” He turns his attention back to the book, his brows hitching. “It says their hearing is developing more this week.” He places the book down on his desk. “Put me next to them, Mama.”
“Fine.” I feign a sigh, as I pick up my phone and hold it next to my bump.
“Hey, babies,” Drew coos. “It’s Daddy. Listen, Mummy and I love you and we can’t wait to meet you. But you need to stop making Mummy want to eat the weird ice-cream flavors.I’m going to need to buy that place by her apartment with the number of visits she has me making to it.”
I bite back my laugh. Drew’s been going there a lot recently. It seems to be my go-to snack every evening. I think I’ve had every flavor on the menu, favoring the one’s that Drew looks at me like I’m crazy for enjoying. Like the garlic one.
“Okay, good chat. Love you both.” Drew gives a mini fist bump to my stomach and my heart somersaults in my chest at the sight of him in full business suit, sitting at his desk, surrounded by paperwork, with his clear blue eyes glittering as he fixes them on my stomach.
If I wasn’t already pregnant, then I think seeing him like this would do it.
I bring the phone back to my face. “I have to go.” I give him a regretful pout.
“All right, Boss. I’ll see you tonight.”
“Tonight,” I agree.
I end the call and gather up the paperwork I need for my meeting with Chelsea. As I stand, there’s a knock at the door.
“Sophie?” Jules pokes her head around it.
