Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father by Caroline Above Story

Chapter 244 

“United front,” I say, turning to him after I finish spraying. “By which you mean…” 

“It would be better, Fay,” Daniel says seriously, pausing with his tic and turning to me. “If we were…engaged. And nobody knew, at all, about…whatever’s going on with you and dad.” 

I sigh, understanding and nodding. Then, seeing him struggle further with his tie, I stand up and cross the room to him, batting his hands away and taking the tie in my own hands, beginning to knot it for him. “But you know,” I say quietly, looking up into his face after a second. “That us pretending to be engaged for appearances doesn’t…actually change anything.” 

“Fay,” Daniel whispers to me softly, looking down into my eyes. “You should let it change. Let me change it for you. We can go back to what we had –” 

“Daniel,” I interrupt, pausing my hands and then wrapping them around the tie itself, using my frustrated grip to pull a little on Daniel’s neck. “Even if I wasn’t…” I hesitate, not wanting to say it to him aloud, “with your dad… you and me? It’s not fair to either of us.”

“Are you in love with him?” I ask, genuinely wanting to know. 

Daniel pulls away from me, turning his back, but I can see the tension in his shoulders. I wait, trying to be patient, but he just stands there I think wondering himself. I clasp my hands together, considering that…maybe he just doesn’t know. 

I’m still waiting for Daniel to turn back to me when the door opens and I jump a little bit, turning to look at Kent standing suddenly in the doorway. 

“What the hell are you two doing,” he demands, “you’re not even dressed!” he exclaims, gesturing towards my pajamas. Then he looks at Daniel and scoffs at him, “your tie,” he mutters, stepping forward to do it himself. “Why can’t either of you tie a tie –” 

“I can do it,” Daniel complains, the hint of a little boy’s whine in his protest, and I smirk as I hurry to the bathroom where my dress is hanging next to the shower. I put it there to let the steam unwind any last wrinkles.

Then I turn and indicate the zipper, looking over my shoulder at them.
