Falling For My Ex's Dad by Oma Green

Clairessa’s POV

Chapter 107: Just Getting Started

Gabriel chuckled softly, stepping forward with that confident stride of his.

“You must be Jess.” He extended his hand.

Jess straightened, smoothing her hair as if she hadn’t just been caught gawking. She took his outstretched hand, gripping it a little too eagerly.

She waved a dismissive hand. “Forget about my trip. Let’s talk about yours.” She grabbed my hand and pulled me closer.
