CHAPTER THIRTY-FOUR
PAYTON
––––––––
I’m nervous as hell when we pull up outside my parents’ house in Knox’s Maserati.
But these were my terms.
I need to make this right with my father and know that they see what kind of man he is before I move in with him.
He reaches over and takes my hand. “You okay?”
“Yes.” I smile, and then add, “You?”
“No, I’m nervous as fuck.”
Good. Mr. Confident could do with some humble moments in his life. But I still love him beyond words.
Dad opens the front door and I immediately see the grimace on his face.
“Shit.”
“Let’s go,” Knox says and climbs out. He circles the car and opens my door. By the time we are walking down the path, my father has his arms crossed and Mom is standing behind him.
“Where are the movers?” he growls.
I bite my lip and lean into Knox. “Dad. Mom, can we go inside to talk?”
“Knox Montgomery,” he says, introducing himself, and I let out a groan.
I’m messing this up already.
He places his hand on my lower back as he reaches out his hand to Dad.
Fortunately, my father uncrosses his arms and extends his hand. “Judge Mills.”
Mom rolls her eyes and says, “Marie Mills. Come in, both of you.”
But she shoots me a questioning glance.
“Nice to meet you both,” Knox says.
This is new for me. Mom and Molly would’ve been the first people I told, but now everything is different.
I’m pregnant with Knox’s baby.
