eased up, and the air became less suffocating. “Wait, so you
guys… knew?”
Pops shrugged. “It was a guess before. You confirmed it
now.”
“So, you’re okay with this?” I questioned slowly.
“Are you asking for our blessing?” Pops cocked an
eyebrow at me, but he was… smiling. “You have it. As long
as you’re happy.” I sat there, slack-mouthed. Holy shit, my
grandpa, who was a very hard man to impress, was smiling
at the fact that I was dating Maddox Coulter. Yeah, I must
have fallen into another universe.
He turned to Maddox, his dark eyes hardening. “I don’t
have to warn you because you already know what will
happen if you ever hurt my little girl. You might be young,
healthy and probably stronger, but I can still whoop your
ass, Son.”
Maddox laced our fingers together and gave me a gentle
squeeze. He returned my grandpa’s stare with one of his
own: confident and self-assured, so Maddox. If it wasn’t for
how sweaty and clammy his hand was, with a slight
twitching in his fingers, I wouldn’t have been able to tell if
he was nervous or not.
“Sir, Lila’s happiness means as much to me as it does to
you. I know you know that. You raised her and took care of
her when she needed you the most. Now, it’s my turn,” he
said.
My chest fluttered, and my womb tingled with fuzzy
warmth, as the same feeling spread throughout my whole
body. I made a sound in the back of my throat, both happy
and in warning. “Um, excuse me. I can take care of myself,
thank you very much.”
Pops let out a small laugh, and my chest expanded with
emotions I couldn’t place. “Good luck, Son. This one is very
feisty, just like her grandma.”
Gran blushed, and Maddox chuckled. “Don’t worry. I can
handle her.”
