Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Kent sharply nods, and the judge bangs her gavel. And then it’s done.

Kent turns away from the judge but before he can turn to Daniel, Ivan catches his eye from across the room, giving him a smirk and a nod that clearly says “I’ll be seeing you soon.”

“I’m good, we’re good,” Daniel says, pulling back a little bit and giving his dad a real smile. “I promise. Fay is…she’s getting fat.”

Kent laughs suddenly, surprising even himself. “No, she’s not.”
