Chapter 60
Wyatt met Merrick’s gaze. “As I said before, you see where I get my con artist skill from. I came by it naturally.”
A wave of nervous energy hit Merrick.
Call me if Wyatt’s lying about the treasure.
“You can tell him, Dad. Go ahead and finish out this farce.” Wyatt stepped closer to Merrick. “Go ahead and make it better for him after he’s been punched, drugged, wrecked, shot at. Tell him.”
Loren took a deep breath. “Wyatt—”
“There’s no treasure.” Wyatt chuckled, shook his head. “This little adventure has just been a lesson, but in learning it we’ve all lost quite a lot, haven’t we?”
“That’s not true.” Loren took a step toward Grant. “You and Grant deserve an honest father-son relationship because family is everything. Humans need to make that a priority. You’ve been given a child to love.”
“I love him, I don’t think that’s ever been in question.” Wyatt let out a heavy sigh. “You’re sick?”
Loren glanced out the window.
