Finding Forever(55)

“Has Liam given you the good news yet?” Whitney asked Frederick.

He just stared at her.

“I was just getting around to that when my nephew decided to tag me with a water balloon,” Liam said as he walked up and kissed his wife. “I had to pay Brayden back first — we men have our ingrained codes of honor.”

Even after all these years together, he had the ability to take her breath away. He was still so damn fine.

“Well, don’t keep an old man waiting,” Frederick demanded. He knew only too well that once those two got distracted, the rest of the world faded away.

“Sorry, Dad. We’d hardly want to do anything to upset you,” Liam said. “After all, you tend to feign illness whenever you want to get your way.”

“That’s nonsense,” Frederick almost sputtered.

“We’re delighted to tell you that we’re going to have another baby,” Liam said. He placed his hand against Whitney’s still-flat stomach and beamed with pride.

“Oh, that’s wonderful news indeed.” Frederick got up slowly from his seat, laid Lynn in her portable bed, and hugged both his son and his beloved daughter-in-law.

Whitney looked at the patio, filled with her family, and she counted her many blessings. And it wasn’t for the first time.

Prologue


It’s just not right, Katherine!” Joseph slammed his fist down on the table, making the dinnerware shake. “Those kids just don’t listen to us—not one of them. Can’t they see that we aren’t getting any younger? I should’ve had grandchildren bouncing on my knees years ago.”

Katherine smiled as she listened to her husband complain about his disobedient children. She knew what he said was nothing but empty words. He adored their kids as much as she did. She had to agree with Joseph, though, that a few beautiful women rocking babies would be an excellent addition to the house. She’d always dreamed of the day she’d be holding grandchildren while her table was surrounded by those she loved.

“Now, Joseph. You know if you go meddling again, the boys are going to disown you,” Katherine warned.

“If they don’t do something about this grandchildren situation, then I’m going to disown them,” he growled, though with zero conviction in his voice.

“Since you retired last year, you’ve had too much time on your hands, Joseph Anderson. The boys have been tossed a lot of responsibility already. Are you sure you want to add more to their plates?” she finished, knowing the answer already.

“The boys are ready for love and marriage. They just need a helping push.”

The decision had already been made. He’d have at least one grandchild in his empty mansion before Christmas.

Katherine suppressed her sigh, knowing there was nothing she could say that would change her willful husband’s mind. Where did he think their sons acquired that particular trait? Even with their flaws, she couldn’t possibly love any of them, including her husband, more than she already did.

“Lucas will be first,” Joseph said in his booming voice, startling Katherine out of her reverie. “I’ve already found him the perfect bride.”

Joseph leaned back in his chair with a pleased expression on his face. Finally, he had a project to keep himself occupied—with the prize of grandchildren as his reward. Lucas was in for wild adventures come Monday morning.

Katherine watched the self-satisfied expression on Joseph’s face and thought about warning her sons about what was coming. She decided against it because even though she didn’t agree with Joseph’s meddling, she really did want those grandbabies…





Chapter One


You can do this. Walk in there with confidence. Who cares if this family is worth more than Bill Gates and Donald Trump combined? You were hired for this position, and you need this job. They obviously see something in you, so keep your head held high.

Amy was giving herself a lecture on her long elevator ride up to the twenty-fifth floor of the Anderson Corporation. Her stomach was in knots as she began her journey into the corporate world.

She brushed a few strands of escaped golden hair from her face, more out of nervousness than necessity. She considered herself to be of average looks and tried to downplay the assets she’d been given. She wanted to be respected, not lusted after, like her mother. She had long hair she couldn’t find the will to cut off, although when out, she always placed it in an unflattering bun.
