Chapter 62 The nanny chapter twenty five

  Jason wondered if he’d finally lost his mind as he showered and got dressed for his first outing with Efua in their fake engagement.

  It was a ridiculous plan. Maybe it was the kind of plan an eccentric, old-fashioned grandmother might come up with, but it certainly wasn’t a plan that two sensible people should entertain for more than a few seconds.

  But yesterday, as he’d been sitting on the back porch of the Adams house and listening to Rose talk to her sister and brother-in-law, it had seemed like the only possible answer for their situation. It had made perfect sense and would work out with minimal consequences. And, after it was over, everyone could return to their proper slots in his life, with Victoria's slot removed completely.

  After all, people ended engagements all the time. So he would have ended two engagements in one year. Surely men had done that before. People would just say he still wasn’t over the death of his wife.

  Maybe they were right.
