CHAPTER 198 "Holmes" 2

  I half-smiled as I look back at his eyes. "I guess after all that's happened to my family, I can always say that they will always have my back no matter how bad my decisions go in life."

  I placed my hand over his chest. "That's why I think your dad will always be there for you wen if your mom divorced him and she's already married to someone else. He'll always be your dad. And Gemma?"

  I breathe. "Gemma will always, and I meant consistently, be rooting for you. She will always watch over you and the critic the people around you because she doesn't want you to get hurt again. You've been hurt when your dad left you and she's just making sure you won't feel that same pain again when you fall in love."

  He smiles and cups my cheek. "I know she'll always worry for me and she nagged at me again for being with you but then she said she knows how much I'm in love with you."

  Gage kisses my forehead. "That's why she's also kind of happy for me."

  I chuckle.
