Page 41 of Her Billionaire's Baby Secret

“Is everything okay?” Sariah asked.

“It’s just my ex. She’s been harassing me lately.”

“What does she want?”

“Probably what she always wants. More money.” He hoped that was all it was this time. He wanted the baby to be okay.

Sariah frowned. “As long as you’re paying her what was court ordered, you don’t owe her a dime.”

“I’m not a stingy guy. I pay my fair share, but it’s never enough for her. She has a guy behind her, pushing her to get more money from me.” He took her hand. “I’m sorry. I’m sure you don’t want to hear about this stuff.”

“I don’t mind. I get it that you have a lot you’re dealing with. I don’t mind being let in on what you’re struggling with.”

They sat together for about thirty minutes until their grandmas joined them. “We’re going to go get funnel cakes, do you want to come with us?” his grandma asked.

Kane stood up and stretched. “Sure. You okay with that, Sariah?”

“Are you kidding? I know this is a music festival, but I came here for the funnel cakes.”

Kane laughed. “So those are good enough for you?”

“Fried batter with powdered sugar? Um yeah. I think it’s good enough. I don’t even know how that’s a question.”

“They are pretty irresistible.” He loved seeing the light in her eyes when she talked about the funnel cakes. She was more irresistible than the funnel cakes though. He wasn’t even sure how he was able to keep his hands off her.

They left with their grandmothers and got in line to buy funnel cakes.

“I hope you know I’m planning to eat an entire funnel cake by myself,” Sariah announced to Kane.

“You’re going to make yourself sick.”

“Nope. I can put down fried foods like nobody’s business. It’s a gift.”

Kane laughed. “I didn’t realize you were so talented.” And yet she was still tiny. Women everywhere would hate her for it.

They made it to the front of the line, and Kane’s phone went off again. Sariah stepped up to the window and talked to the teen girl running the stand. Kane checked his phone.

Orchid: Just call me back whenever you can.

He frowned. That didn’t tell him anything about if the baby was okay.

Kane placed a few twenties on the counter in front of Sariah. “Order for our grandmas too.”

“You don’t have to keep paying for stuff, you know,” Sariah said.

“I don’t mind. Consider this a date of sorts.”

“A date?” his grandma piped up. “Then you shouldn’t have invited two old ladies along.”

“We’re happy to have you here,” Sariah said.

“All we’re doing is getting in the way of your budding romance,” Mrs. Tate said.

“What makes you say we have a budding romance?” Kane said with a smile.

“I have eyes in my head, don’t I?” Mrs. Tate said. “I can see what’s right in front of me.”

Kane smiled. He couldn’t deny that his feelings for Sariah were growing by the day. She was an amazing woman. He was getting to the point that he wasn’t sure he could go back to New York without her. It looked like his grandma was spot on with her assessment.
