Chapter 169

Gerard had just stepped out the front door when he bumped into Jonah, returning from the office, “Hey, Gerry”

“Dad.” Gerard halted in his tracks

“Where are you off to? Need a lift?” Jonah’s demeanor was as genteel as ever, his eyes smiling gently.

“No, I’m good” Gerard said, looking at Jonah as if he had a world to tell him. But when the words reached his lips, all that came out a single, “Dad…”

“What’s up, son?” Jonah could tell there was something bothering his son.

Gerard’s gaze fell on Jonah, and smiled, “It’s nothing. I’m going to head off now.”

Jonah was still womed. “If something’s up, you gotta talk to me.”

Gerard nodded.
