I nod. “That’s proper.” I eye Gareth. “Solely Daddy.”

The police are fantastic. A feminine constable talks to Casey whereas she sits on my lap, and Casey makes me smile on the approach she goes into graphic element about every part.

“After which the woman stated she was Daddy’s pal, and Daddy desires to see me.”

The police girl seems at me. “And this was nobody you knew?”

I shake my head. “No.”

“Is her father right here?”

I resist the urge to look at Gareth. “Casey calls my boyfriend Daddy. He’s at work proper now.”

“Daddy’s in a film.” Casey clasps her arms collectively.

“My boyfriend is Alex Stone. He’s an actor, and he’s on set filming in the present day.” I blow out a breath. “I don’t know for positive, however I do marvel if that is one thing to do with him.”

She frowns. “What do you imply?”

“There have been images of us on an internet site yesterday. TMZ?”

Her eyebrows rise.

“Anyway, I’ve been involved about somebody being on the market watching us to take extra, after which Casey stated a girl was watching her yesterday, and now this in the present day.”

The constable writes all of it in her pocket book and nods. “We’ll be in contact when now we have any data.”

“Is it possible you’ll get her?” Gareth asks.

“We’ll do our greatest.”

It takes every part in me to not inform him to bugger off, however he’s taking us dwelling and he’s obtained my automotive seat.

Maria swoops in and provides Casey a kiss on the highest of her head. She straightens up and rubs my arm. “I do know it’s arduous, however strive to not stress. See you tomorrow?”

“We’ll see.” I power a smile.

“I perceive. Simply tell us.”

“Thanks.”

For a second after I step exterior, I’m disorientated. My intuition is to search for my very own automotive, however in fact it’s not there, and I blow out a breath as Gareth walks previous me.

Once we get to his car, I strap Casey into her automotive seat and get into the entrance seat.

“This not our automotive, Mummy,” she says.

I look at Gareth. “No, sweetheart. Gareth is driving us dwelling. Mummy was a bit shaken up about what occurred.”

“The place’s Daddy?”

Elevating my proper hand, I rub the facet of my cheek so I don’t need to see the look on Gareth’s face. “Alex will see us at dwelling. He’s attempting to get out of labor early.”

“She already calls him Daddy?” he asks.

I cross my arms and shrug. “It’s not that Alex and I requested her to.” Assembly his gaze, all I see is a confused man—and but one who has not take accountability for his daughter. “She’s by no means had anybody like that in her life, Gareth. Casey selected this.”
