Chapter 262

The next day I get up early, and after making sure Ethan is

changed and fed, I take him down to the office where I asked

one of the housekeepers to set up a playpen for him. They’ve brought out this little bouncy thing that I can strap him into and it has a mobile attached to it that plays music as it spins.

Ethan seems happy enough to lay in it, but I leave it close to where I’m sitting and angled toward the desk so we can see

each other.

Then I start digging into Roberts Corp files for the past seven months to make sure I didn’t miss something the first time I checked for clues about what’s happened to the project that was meant to be handed over to the military.

James joins me mid–morning, bringing a bottle for Ethan, who is almost due for his nap.

After I’ve fed him and he’s lulling off to sleep, James offers to take him up to his crib.

Ethan fusses a little when I hand him over, but James rocks and shushes him until he settles down again.
