My Bestfriend’s Father의 모든 챕터: 챕터 51 - 챕터 60

BrittneyStill shaken from what happened back at Claire's place, I rushed back home, eager to unwind with a bottle of wine but the moment I touched the wine, my mind went back to the way she touched her glass before kissing me.Urgh!Shaking my head to dislodge such thoughts, I absentmindedly watched Sam play around, wondering what I was doing.I did believe that it wasn't a coincidence that Andre showed up here mere days before Claire did, but I'm now starting to wonder.How the hell did she have feelings for me and I didn't know about?I went every moment we've spent together for five years, and to my dismay, I realized the signs were there.I was just too oblivious and obsessed with Andre.The way she was constantly touching me, wanting to spend more time together…Holding back a choked sob, I clamped a hand over my mouth, my eyes dipping to the floor.What do I do now?As if Claire knew the questions bouncing around in my head, my phone rang, her name flashing across the screen.I

BrittneyI take a step forward, my motherly instincts rising at the way he spoke to me.No person was going to take my baby away from me!“Don't you dare! You're wondering why I kept Samantha from you, this is why, because all you know how to do is respond to things with a show of violence, and I'll be damned if I let you take my baby away!”His laugh was mocking and cruel. “Right, and you think you can stop me? You and what army?”I paused, realizing that if I antagonize him, he'll probably turn the tables against me on purpose just to spite me.“Okay, fine, you win!” I threw my hands up in defeat. “You've proven that you're the big bad wolf so can we stop?”“Stop what?” His eyes narrowed. “I'm serious when I mean that I want to be in Samantha's life.”Exhausted from all the arguing, I gave in. “Sure and maybe later in the day, we can sit down and discuss visitation. Maybe you'll come in once or twice a week.”“No, no, no, I don't want that.” He refused. “I don't think you understand

Brittney“My help? With what?” Claire questions, taking a seat on the couch.“Remember how I said your father was in town?” I say tentatively, not sure if I should speak or not.“Yeah, and…?”“I don't know if you are aware of this but he came to New York to change my mind on a case,” I admit, observing her face.“A case? What case?”“It's something a couple of people put together and if I choose to loan my voice, it could turn into something serious,” I tell her as much as I can without dropping a lot of details.“Okay, is there a reason why you're being deliberately vague? You can tell me what it is, I won't tell anyone.” Claire leans in, catching on to what I left out.“I can't really tell you, it's not my place.”She rolled her eyes. “Fine, so what does your involvement in this case have to do with my father and you needing my help?”“Actually, it's not about the case at all.” I thought long and hard about whether I could trust her with this, but let it go regardless. If Andre choo

Andre“It depends we can have the meeting virtually or converge when I'm back in Florida,” I say, speaking to someone over the phone. Painting to listen to what he said, I replied a few seconds later. “If you have any questions, reach out to my assistant Michelle and she'll get you everything you need. If not, I have to go, thank you so much for reaching out.”Once I heard the click sound informing me that the call had ended, I slammed the phone down on the desk and opened another file, scanning past its contents.Distantly, I heard a bit of commotion outside my office door but ignored it.Since my stay in New York had been extended indefinitely due to the recent discoveries, I opted for renting out a small space where I could carry out working in the meantime. Since I wasn't a fan of staying in one place for too long, I got somewhere thirty minutes away from my hotel.So far it's been peaceful and a little bit of my safe haven.Speaking of safe haven, I glanced at my private phone, w

BrittneyClaire didn't wait to hear the end of the sentence before grabbing her bags, informing me that she would tag along for the ride.The car ride to Samantha's school was about thirty minutes, but I was on edge for every minute, mentally wishing I could just disappear and appear right in front of the gates, but sadly, I had to wait.When the car finally rolled up, I had already jumped out before the driver braked, nearly hurting myself in the process.I didn't care… my mind was on overdrive.It was already closing period, with parents pulling up in different cars to take their kids home.Scanning my surroundings, I searched for the lady who reached out to me earlier, spotting her by the swing set.I rushed over to her. “Where is she?” I noted, slightly out of breath.“She's right here.” Andre boomed from behind me.I turned to face him and saw Samantha literally hugging his leg while smoking up at him, a cotton candy in her mouth.Red, hot anger like I'd never felt before flared
