Chasing After My Best Friend’s Sister のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 21 - チャプター 30

Dylan’s POV I was done playing her games. Done waiting for her to admit what we both knew was still there. So once again, I took control. She had no idea I’d been tracking her brother for weeks, well, if she did, she'd definitely freak out and get pissed at me. I hired a private investigator the second I found out through my secretary that we would have to come home. Through the guy I hired, I memorized Michael’s habits, the places he visited, the people he saw, when he went to and came back from work, and the times he was alone. Eventually, I got the perfect opportunity to meet him with Mia. A dinner reservation at a restaurant. That’s where I'd staged the coincidence. That’s where I decided to finally confront them both. It was sneaky. Bold. Maybe even insane. But I was way past caring about that. I’d do anything for her now. I'd do anything for us. And now that I was standing face to face with the man who used to be my best friend, my adopted brother, the man who now looke

Mia’s POVHe couldn’t even give me a little time to think about all of this. To figure out how to introduce him into my daughter's life.I thought he was being dramatic or trying to emotionally blackmail me when he said he'd bring his lawyer but he was dead serious about it.I told him it wouldn't be fair for my lawyer to be absent and he only said fine and asked for his details. The next thing I knew, he flew both our lawyers here on his private jet first thing in the morning.First-class manipulation dressed up as efficiency. That was Dylan Scott for you. Always the strategist. Always five steps ahead. Always making decisions for both of us even when I'm supposed to be the one in charge.He rented out a huge conference room, which was so unnecessary because it's just four of us, but I didn’t bother to suggest a smaller, less expensive meeting place. It's his own money to waste after all.He sat at the head of the table like a CEO ready to close a billion-dollar deal, but this wasn’t

Mia’s POVOnce again, we were on Dylan’s private jet. Just the two of us. Except this time, we weren’t heading out for anything work related.We were going to see my…our daughter.The air was too quiet, as if the plane itself knew we weren’t just dragging luggage, we were also dragging years of painful things better left unsaid.It wasn’t just the thought of Truth waiting for me when I got home that made my stomach twist. It was knowing Dylan would be there too when I saw her. That he’d be meeting her for the first time ever in his life.I called her but I didn’t even tell Truth he was coming. I just couldn't bring myself to tell her over the phone.What was I supposed to say? “Hey baby, guess what?! That man you’ve asked me about a few times…yes, I mean your father ….Oh, he's coming home with me today, so look your best for him.”I glanced at him from across the cabin. He looked too calm for a man about to meet his child. His eyes were shut, his hands folded behind his head like he w

Dylan's POV I was getting really anxious and impatient waiting for Mia to come out, so I considered letting myself in. I was still thinking about it when the front door opened, and I saw my daughter running out.I was stunned at how she looked exactly like her mother when she was that age. No wonder no one could guess I was her father; it's like my genes went on a vacation because she looks nothing like me. Mia really pulled a copy and paste on this one. She rushed to where I stood and stopped in front of me. She cocked her head to the side and looked at me from head to toe like she was assessing me. We looked at each other for a while, saying nothing, but then she smiled a bit and said, “Hi, I'm Truth Lynn Jason.”I smiled back at her widely, “I know who you are, Princess. And it’s so nice to finally meet you.” She doesn't know it yet but soon she'd bear my name instead.She glanced back, probably to check if her mom was coming but she wasn’t there yet. Then she gestured at me to

Dylan's POV I got my driver to quickly buy me some clothes for me to change in and Truth brought them up for me quietly.Then I went down to have dinner with them, feeling relieved to see Mia didn’t look so angry. I guess she always tries her best to be happy around our daughter, which, I must admit, is a really strong thing for her to do. Mia cooked a really delicious meal and we ate together. Like we were a real family. It felt so unreal being here. One minute I'm just a billionaire CEO working his ass; the next thing I know, I'm someone's Father. I enjoyed watching my beautiful girls, grateful I was able to have dinner with them. She was so patient and amazing with our daughter, and I could tell that she and Truth were very close. They were so close; they had conversations with their eyes sometimes. Seeing their special relationship made my head and heart hurt. I had definitely missed a lot.After Mia introduced their nanny to me, she told her it was late so she could stay and
