Chapter 222

Irwin's eyes sparkled with excitement. "When the time comes, I'll be Mom Bryn's only child-she'll love and take care of me forever!"

Lauren answered with calm warmth. "I'm Irwin's grandmother. His parents are busy today, so I brought him along. We'll leave right after we discuss the cooperation I mentioned."
