Aubrey’s gaze fixed on Jax. He lowered his head guiltily, unable to meet her eyes. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, “Aubrey, if you’re unhappy about it, I’ll throw her out right now.”

For the first time, between her and Aurelia, Jax chose her.

But Aubrey felt nothing. Not even a flicker of warmth. She had long since given up expecting anything from her father’s so–called love. She was no longer that little girl who would break herself just to win his approval.

She had grown up. She no longer needed such things.

Aubrey let out a soft laugh. “No need. If you want to keep her, I don’t mind.”

In Jax’s startled eyes, Aubrey lowered her gaze to the butter cookie in her hand. After a moment’s silence, she smiled faintly, set the cookie back on the plate, and stood.

“I’ll go up and take a look at her.”

She started up the stairs.

Jax hurried to follow, afraid the two might fight. Inwardly, he sighed at the thought of the cookies cooling on the table–still warm now, but they’d be cold by the time they came back down. Still, it didn’t matter. If Aubrey had returned once, she would surely return again. Next time, he could bake fresh ones for her.
