The Cowboy Billionaire's Mistletoe Kiss: A Johnson Brothers Novel (Chestnut Ranch Romance Book 2)
Page 22
“Yes, but—”
“Momma,” she said over her mother, and it felt good to stand up to Momma. “I’ll call you tomorrow, okay?”
A long silence came through the line, and Holly knew her mother was working through a lot of her own issues. “Okay,” she finally said, and Holly nodded. She hung up and looked over to the sleeping form of Sarah.
A pretty little girl, Sarah had brought more joy and light into Holly’s life than anything else.
“Except Rex,” she murmured, because that man had been her whole world.
You’re a terrible, terrible person.
She knew an apology wouldn’t go far with Rex. The man loved deeply, and she heard his angry voice as he accused her of stealing six years of his life. As he threatened to call the police. She reached over and stroked Sarah’s hair, the soft, silky quality of it helping her feel a tiny pinprick of hope.
“You’re better now,” she whispered to herself. “Maybe you can fix things with Rex, too.”
She’d texted him the name of the motel she’d found, and he said he’d be there at nine o’clock in the morning. Holly hadn’t brought clothes to Chestnut Springs, because she’d planned to stay for just one day.
Momma was right; she didn’t have much money. But she had a credit card, and she could get a few things for the week she’d be here.
“Might be longer,” she said to herself, because she remembered Rex being the kind of man that fought for what he wanted. He’d called her for six straight months after she’d vanished from his life. He’d gone to her parents’ house. He’d called her friends. Gone to talk to her boss.
And when he found out where she’d been, maybe he’d understand.
Maybe.
Hopefully.
“Please,” she prayed, because she was ready to move forward, and she couldn’t if Rex didn’t come with her.
Oh, dear, I sure hope Rex and Holly can figure things out! Find out if they can in THE COWBOY BILLIONAIRE’S SECRET BABY.
