Chapter 75

  "I love how you set up this place."

  Eve smiled at her mother and then drank a sip of her coffee so she wouldn't give herself away. She had nothing to do with this house but all night she'd had to listen to her parents tell her how much they loved it.

  Her father had settled into a comfortable one-seater near the fire and had already dozed off in the middle of watching his TV shows. The more she had seen how independent he had become in this house the harder it was for her to admit to them that she didn’t know if this would be forever.

  Was Roman really giving them this house? Or was this another of his tricks? Was he going to pull the rug out from under her parents because she had left him again?

  “We haven’t signed the paperwork yet. Your lawyers said they will be back tomorrow after we have read through everything,” Tessa continued. “Are you sure about this, Evie? I mean you know we loved this house before all this work was done on it, but it should stay in your name.”
