All Chapters of I Left Broken and Fat, I Came Back His Boss With Triplets: Chapter 61 - Chapter 67

Liam's POVTalia's finger stays raised for three seconds.She is pointing directly at the window... directly at us. Her sunglasses reflect the grey sky, and her mouth is set in a thin, hard line that I recognize from a dozen dinner parties in Los Angeles, the expression she wore right before she dismantled someone's reputation over dessert.Then she lowers her hand. She picks up the leather travel bag from the balcony railing. She turns around and walks back inside the flat, and the green shutters swing closed behind her with a sharp, wooden crack that echoes across the narrow street.Emma lowers the binoculars. Her face is completely still, but her breathing has changed, short and controlled through her nose."She knows we are here," Julian says. He has not moved from the window.

Liam’s POVThe double doors of the private dining salon at Le Meurice swing open without a sound.My father is sitting at the head of a mahogany table laid for four. He does not look up when my heels hit the parquet floor. He is cutting a slice of pear with a silver fruit knife, his movements precise, slow, and completely devoid of wasted energy.Arthur Carson looks exactly as he did when he forced me into an arranged marriage four years ago.His silver hair is cropped close to his skull. His bespoke charcoal suit fits his broad shoulders without a single wrinkle. At sixty-eight, he still carries himself with the brutal physical authority of a man who spent five decades bending global shipping routes and sovereign funds to his will."You took twenty minutes to cross the river, Liam," my father says, setting the knife on the bone china plate with a quiet click. "Traffic on the Right Bank is never an acceptable excuse for being late to a family meeting."I do not sit down. I stop at the
