Becoming Strangers Again by Lily

Chapter 118

Having my father make peace with Lily is surely going to make things much easier for me. When I want to propose to her, I will have fewer things to convince her about. No woman would want to face what she faced in the hands of me for the second time.

Pulling over at the parking lot, I received a call from the detective who had sent me a text earlier to inform me that they were coming over to my house to ask me a few questions also sent me another text to inform me that they were on their way to my house.

Shoving the phone into my pocket, we walked into the house and I informed the nanny to remain in the boy's room with them. I do not see the need to have the visitors see them, not when we have one, is surrounding us.

Lily changed into much more comfortable clothes before they arrived. Seated in the living room with Lily next to me, I held onto her hand.

The detective whose name I can't really remember glanced at her. "does she really have to be here?" he asked.

"Do you have a problem with her being here?2 I answered his question with yet another question." I am not a suspect, so this is not a criminal proceeding which means she can be here if he chooses to." He lifted his hand in surrender, leaning forward. "I was just asking."

Lily cleared her throat. "can we get on with the questions, please? My kids are going to be needing their father soon and I do not want them to meet you guys."

The older man in their midst frowned. "You do realize we do not eat babies right?" he asked, astonished at the fact that Llilyddoesnt wants them to meet the kids." "Just get on with the question." I gritted out, trying so hard not to snap.

The man opened his notepad. "I am Detective Joe by the way and he is my associate, Detective Kellen."

Their names aren't important to me, I just want to get this over and done with. When I didn't respond, he continued with his statement. "we have just a few questions for you."

I nodded, silently telling him to go ahead. "what is your relationship with Mr. Waper?" he asked.

I frowned at his question. "I do not have any relationship with him at the moment, so your question should have been what was your relationship with Mr. Waper."
