536 Tomorrow Everything Changes

(Winona)

"You built an entire house in a day?" I call as I approach this fully-fledged construction site.

Jayden turns showing his sexy grin. "Not a house. A self-contained unit. Well, two put together, actually."

I stare at him, then at the building. "Jayden, this isn't a unit. This is definitely a house."

He shrugs. "Semantics. Just the services need connecting by the contractors and it's livable. We got lucky hooking in the plumbing and running the power in."

I plant my hands on my hips. "Fast-tracking like this must have cost a fortune."

"It's an investment," he says easily. "It adds value to the property, it gives Kit and River privacy, and it makes sure we don't lose good nannies because they don't have their own space."

I exhale, running a hand through my hair. "You didn't have to go this hard, Jayden."

He steps closer, cupping my cheek. "You know me, babe, I always go hard." He gives me a cheeky wink.

"Lord, can you not, right now." I laugh.

"Anyway, it's done. For my family. For you. No amount of money or time matters."

My heart clenches, and I let out a soft sigh, leaning into his touch. "Thank you."

Jayden's gaze softens before he pulls away. "Come on, let me give you the tour."

We walk up the steps and into the doorway where the workers are finishing up the interior.

The space is modern but cozy, with open-plan living, a sleek kitchen and living area, an office space, a bathroom and two large bedrooms. One of them ensuited.

I raise an eyebrow. "Two bedrooms?"
