“Are you still planning on visiting Sofia’s mother while you’re there?” Christian asked.

“Yeah. Damn right, I am.” We all paddled out.

“And you’re still not telling Sofia, are you?” Simon asked.

“Damn right, I’m not.” My lips formed a smirk.

“And what’s going to happen if something comes of it and Sofia finds out you had something to do with it?” Conner asked.

“I’ll deal with it then. But I don’t think anything will come of it,” I spoke.

“I don’t either,” Shaun said. “You all don’t know Rose.”

CHAPTER15

Sofia

“Dr. Kind. Sofia.” Giuseppe smiled brightly when we stepped inside his shop. “Oh my gosh, give me that baby!” He took Nicholas from Nathan. “Where is that darling genius daughter of yours?”

“She’s at my brother’s house,” Nathan said.

“Dr. Jackson, Christian, or Conner?” he asked.

“Conner,” I replied.

“How fun. I bet they’re making TikTok videos.” He grinned.

“God, I hope not.” Nathan rolled his eyes.

“Come over here and have a seat. Let’s talk flowers.” The corners of his mouth curved upward.

We spent over two hours reviewing designs and picking exactly what I wanted. Now, I could mark flowers off my checklist.

“That was fun.” I smiled as we walked to the car.

“It was fun.” Nathan winked.

“Liar.” I playfully smacked his arm.

He put Nicholas in his car seat, and we headed home. When we stepped through the sliding door at Conner’s house to pick up Ella, Charlotte was making some tea in the kitchen.

“Just in time.” She grinned as she held up the box of tea bags. “Cup?”

“As much as I would love some, I have to get this little guy to bed.”

“I’ll take him and Ella home. Stay and have a cup of tea,” Nathan said.

“Well, Dr. Kind. If you insist.” I grinned.

“So, how did it go with Giuseppe?” Charlotte asked.

“Excellent. Everything is all set floral-wise for the wedding.”

“That’s great.”

“Hi, Mom. Bye, Mom,” Ella said as she walked past me.

“I’ll be home soon to tuck you in,” I said.
