Theo POV “Does any of that make sense to you?” She folded her arms. “You’re embarrassing me.” “No. You embarrassed yourself.” Her face hardened. “You’ve become so protective of Lydia.” “This has nothing to do with Lydia.” “Really?” “Yes.” “You didn’t even used to defend people like that.” “Because I didn’t have a reason to.” She scoffed. Then she went somewhere I never expected her to go. “You know what? Maybe I should remind you that there was a time when I was the one who had to deal with your issues.” My stomach dropped. “What does that have to do with this?” “You know exactly what I’m talking about.” I stared at her. She had brought up the accusations she’d once made during our custody battle. The old ones. The ones about my lifestyle. The ones she’d used to question my fitness as a father. The ones we’d spent months fighting over in court. “Don’t.” She looked away. “I’m just saying—” “Don’t.” My voice was colder this time.

Dave POVThe acquisition had consumed the better part of my month.Every day seemed to begin with another meeting and end with another document waiting for my signature. We were upgrading several of our internal systems at the same time, which meant dealing with engineers, consultants, lawyers, investors, department heads, and enough technical jargon to make me question whether I had accidentally enrolled in another university degree. On top of that, government approval was still hanging over the entire project, and anyone who had ever dealt with government processes knew exactly what that meant: paperwork, meetings, revisions, more paperwork, and the occasional phone call that somehow created three more problems instead of solving the original one.I should have been focused entirely on it.Instead, there was a date sitting quietly at the back of my mind.This month.I was seeing my children this month.I didn’t care how complicated the acquisition became. I didn’t care how many meet

Lydia POVI didn’t turn around immediately.“Who?”“Theo.”I slowly placed the pickle back on my plate.Then I turned.Dave was standing near the kitchen counter, watching me.“What about him?”“I don’t know him.”“That sounds like a personal problem.”His eyebrows pulled together.“Lydia.”I sighed. “What?”“Who is he?”I stared at him for a moment.There it was.That tone.That subtle expectation that because we had once been married, he automatically deserved access to every part of my life.“Why?”“Because he’s here.”“So?”“He came to your house.”“Yes.”“He seems familiar with you.”I gave him a look.“I’m sorry. Am I supposed to submit a guest list to you?”“That isn’t what I’m saying.”“Because it sounds exactly like what you’re saying.”His jaw tightened.“I just want to know who spends time around my children.”“And you think I’m careless enough to bring random people around them?”“I didn’t say that.”“You didn’t have to.”The words came out sharper than I intended.For a s

Theo’s POVI dropped my keys onto my desk and loosened the collar of my shirt, but instead of sitting down to work, I stood there staring at the city through the glass windows of my office. The lights below blurred into a thousand tiny points, cars moving between buildings, people rushing toward homes and dinners and lives that had absolutely nothing to do with mine.My mind, unfortunately, had decided to stay at Lydia’s house.More specifically, it had decided to stay on the moment Dave had asked who I was.I could still hear her voice.I walked back to my desk and opened my laptop.The screen illuminated the room.I stared at it.Then opened my email.Scrolled through a few messages.Closed it.Opened a financial report.Read exactly two lines.Closed that too.I leaned back in my chair.“This is ridiculous.”My assistant would have agreed.I was a man who could negotiate a multimillion-dollar acquisition without blinking. I could sit across from a boardroom full of executives and d

Dave’s POVI had been perfectly comfortable in Lydia’s living room until the knock came.The kids had spent the last hour talking over one another, dragging me through every detail of the new café they had visited, and I had been enjoying it more than I wanted to admit. Ava had shown me pictures of the pink rainfall installation three separate times, each time pointing out something different. Eli had somehow turned the entire conversation into a lecture about the science behind artificial rain, and I had let him, because I had missed this. I had missed the noise, the ridiculous arguments, the little hands tugging at my sleeve whenever they wanted me to look at something.Then the door opened.Theo.I watched Lydia brighten when she saw him.It wasn’t dramatic.She didn’t throw herself into his arms or smile like a woman in love.It was smaller than that.A shift.Her shoulders relaxed. Her mouth curved. Her voice lost that careful professional edge she sometimes used when speaking to
