Page 50 of Her Billionaire's Baby Secret

“I bet this has to do with that loser she used to date.”

“She mentioned him. She said she can’t trust men anymore because of her relationship with him.” Kane felt the frustration build inside him. “How am I supposed to prove myself to her if she doesn’t give me a chance?”

His grandma crossed her arms and gave him a stern look. “I don’t think you’re trying hard enough. How many times have you tried calling her since she shot you down?”

“Well… none.”

“That’s exactly my point. You can either stay miserable, or you could try harder. Chances are she just needs a little coaxing. She’s just scared. And stupid, if you ask me. She’s letting her past keep her from her future.”

“I just feel so helpless. I feel like I need to respect her wishes.”

“She doesn’t know her own wishes. I don’t think that deserves respect.”

Kane laughed. His grandma sure was saucy when she wanted to be.

“I’m going to talk to Lois. Maybe she can talk some sense into her granddaughter.”

For the first time all week, hope blossomed in Kane’s chest again.
