The Million-Dollar Heart by Rebecca Ryan

Chapter 754







Using his cane with a metallic bottom, Oliver smacked it hard against Asher's knee.

Oliver, without sparing him a glance, bowed slightly toward Jasper, "Jasper, forgive my lack of guidance. My apologies for the trouble my son has caused. Rest assured, upon our return, I'll discipline him strictly. We've overstayed our welcome today. Should you need anything in the future, do not hesitate to call me. I'll take my leave now so as not to disturb your afternoon respite."


Jasper raised an eyebrow, momentarily unsure of what play Oliver was staging.
