Chapter 19

Scott hadn’t been able to take his eyes off Tanya for the rest of the evening since he learned the truth about his daughter. Jenna had pointed out a few pages for him to read in the binder before she left him alone to peruse the rest of the binder. An hour later, he came out of the den and joined them in the dining room. From the look on Kevin’s and Bek’s face, he knew Jenna had told them he was Tanya’s paternal father. Tanya was the only one who didn’t know. However, it didn’t matter to her, for in her heart, he was already her ‘new daddy’. She was glad to have him all to herself tonight. After Jenna got her washed and ready for bed, she hurried downstairs and insisted Scott read her the bedtime story.

“What’s going on here, Taney? You used to ask me to read your bedtime story when I am here.” Bek pretended she was offended which led to bubbly giggles from the little girl.

“I want T-Daddy to read tonight.” She was already tugging Scott’s arm.
