Chapter 76

Jasper

"Where's your wife?" Nolan asks as I pull a chair out at Monroe's after a grueling day of work. 

I'm chilled to the bone and fuckin' ready for the warm front that's supposed to be coming in over the next few days. His question pisses me off. "Where's yours?"

His blue eyes harden as they bore into me. If I'm not mistaken, he's pissed too, but he's not rising to the bait. A mask covers his face, and he scoffs. "Never had one. Unlike you."

I don't know why I'm pushing him, but I've seen the way he looks at Daisy when he doesn't think anyone else is watching. "You sure about that? I mean you had a baby and just appeared with her one day."

"Fuck off, Hamilton. Just because you had to be out in the elements all day doesn't mean the rest of us did. You might be in a bad mood, but don't take it out on me." He gets up, swiping his bottle of beer off the table, and walks over to the bar.
