章 72: Stuck with a tall man

«Why don't you eat lunch with me rather than your father?» Samantha asked. «You can spend time with him another day, right?»

She knew Nate would have a meeting soon. But, for some reason, he seemed convinced that taking care of a pup while working wasn't much of a hassle.

«I'll bring him back when you're done with the suppliers,» Samantha added, turning to Nate. «I heard there are some problems with the prices. You should fix that and then come fetch your son in my office.»

«Ah, sure,» Nate sighed.

For certain, Jaden would feel better with Samantha than him.

«I'll be there in a couple of hours. I have no intention of cheating like this. I promised Lara I would take care of the pups when they're with me. And so I will do.»

«Sure,» Samantha chuckled.

She turned back to Jaden and found his shining eyes and bright smile. He hugged her again, happy and content.
