“I’ve never seen her like this,” Ariana confessed as they walked back into the great living room.
“Me either. It’s scary.”
Ariana gave her a hug. “We’ll send you some emails about business things, but we promise to leave you alone so you can write.”
“All right. Keep me posted about Colette.”
“Will do.”
When Ariana left, she went to Lyle’s office and knocked on the door.
“Come in.”
Jasmine walked in and found him sitting at a massive desk with the skyline behind him.
He raised a brow once he got a look at her face. “I assume you guys made up?”
She plopped in a seat in front of his desk. “Yup. Your wife’s in bed.”
He frowned and shrugged back the sleeve of his shirt. “It’s nine o’clock.”
She leaned forward, and whispered, “She broke down.”
He frowned. “What the hell does that mean?”
She mimed crying and smacked his desk. “Like full on.” When he grinned, Jasmine snapped, “What the hell is so funny?”
“The baby’s changing her.”
“Is that why you insisted she get pregnant?”
He settled back in his seat with a cocky grin and didn’t respond.
“You’re sick.”
He shrugged. “So you guys hashed it out? You’re all good?”
“Better than we’ve ever been.” She shook her head. “Feels like the world’s turned upside down since Dad died.”
“Death changes people’s perspectives.” His expression turned serious. “You guys talked business?”
“They’ll handle the accounts. I have no interest in the money. All I ever wanted was the country estate anyway. I have what I need.”
“Good.” He steepled his fingers. “You have anything else to tell me?”
She tensed. “What do you mean?”
“About Roth.”
“What about him?”
“He’s your ex-husband.”
“I know that.”
“And you divorced him.”
“So?”
