“I can’t believe you are seriously asking me that.” Her brows furrowed. “It’s on me.”
“I can’t do that. Let me pay you something. Charles left me an obscene amount of money when he passed away, and I don’t know what to do with it.”
“Really? Well, the first thing you need to do is talk to Shaun and invest it. He can help you.”
“I think I’ll do that.” I smiled. “Thank you, Jenni. You are really sweet. You all are. I’ve never felt so welcomed into a family.” Tears started to fill my eyes.
“Hey.” She placed her hand on my arm. “No tears. We love you.”
I changed out of my dress and headed home. When I pulled into the driveway, I noticed a car with a woman sitting in it parked across the street from Grayson’s house. I stared at her for a moment as she stared at me. Grabbing my dress from the back, I went inside.
CHAPTER32
Grayson
I walked through the door and saw Ava on the couch with her laptop.
“Hey.” I smiled as I walked over, sat beside her, and kissed her lips.
“How’s your patient?”
“I had to go back in and repair something. He’ll be fine. Did you get your dress from Jenni?”
“I did.” The corners of her mouth curved upward.
“Can I see it?”
“You can see it when I put it on for the gala. Is that car still parked across the street?”
“What car?” My brows furrowed.
“When I came back from Jenni’s studio, there was a car with a woman sitting in it parked across from the house.”
My heart began to race. “What did she look like?”
“I really didn’t get a good look at her. Why?”
“I don’t know. I didn’t see a car when I pulled up. Anyway, what are you doing?”
“Looking for a specific couch and chair that one of my clients wants for her living room. By the way, Jenni told me that I should talk to Shaun about investing some of the money Charles left me.”
“I was going to suggest that to you. We’re meeting Gabriel at Four Kinds for dinner. When we get back, we can go over to Shaun’s, and you can talk to him.”
“Sounds good.” She smiled as her lips met mine. “When are we meeting your brother?”
I glanced at my watch. “We should leave now.”
I was bothered by what Ava told me about a car being parked across the street from my house. If it was Claudia, how did she know where I lived? She was taking this too far, and I was going to have to stop it.
When we arrived at Four Kinds, Gabriel was already sitting at a table waiting for us.
“Hey, bro.” I smiled.
“Hey, you two.”
“Hi, Gabriel,” Ava said as I pulled the chair out for her. “Is Sebastian here tonight?”
“Yeah, he is. He said he’ll be back over when you two get here.”
