Chapter 47

Rayne's apartment was across her restaurant and it was a stylish, modern space with large windows letting in plenty of light. The living room was tastefully decorated with soft, neutral colors and cozy furniture.

Rayne moved swiftly through the room, picking up her handbag and car keys from the sleek coffee table. She turned to her son, Ethan, and kissed his chubby cheek.

"Mommy, see you later," Ethan said, hugging her neck and planting a kiss on her cheek.

Rayne smiled at his words. "I'll see you later, sweetheart." She glanced at his nanny. "Elizabeth, please bring Ethan over to the restaurant after his outing in the park."

"I will, Ms. Wallace," Elizabeth replied warmly.

Rayne had a lot to get done at the restaurant and needed to leave early. Her son also liked his day at the park, so she'd arranged for her driver to take him there with his nanny while she headed to work to get things done before he returned.
