“We should go,” I said.
Blake’s voice sharpened. “Do they know about me?”
I looked toward the Bentley.
“They know their father was not in our lives.”
“That’s not an answer.”
“It’s the only one you have earned.”
Su expresión vaciló, pero no discutió.

“Mommy, I’m hungry.”
I slowly exhaled. “I’m coming, love.”
Blake stepped closer again. “Let me see them.”
– No.
“They’re my sons.”
“They are children,” I said, my voice suddenly fierce. “Not a revelation you get to grab because it hurts.”
He froze.
“You don’t get to walk into their lives in an airport pickup lane with cameras and bodyguards and a thousand questions. You don’t get to demand their affection because biology finally caught up with your ego.”
