Chapter 149: THE PAST CATCHES UP WITH THE FUTURE: VALERIE

After an awkward first half an hour, Melanie and my parents hit it off, and she was amazed at how giving they were. She was happy for them to be in Milly's life after meeting them, and despite my earlier nerves and 'first sight' hate for her when I found out she'd slept with my brother and my man, I actually liked her. We were similar people, and we'd fought through the worst of times, and had come out stronger for it.

Flynn and Melanie walked Buster with Kayden and Amber while I spoke with my parents about Martin's money. There was still around seven million dollars in the bank because of daily interest that had been accruing. When I told my father I'd wanted most of that money to go back to Milly, he'd readily agreed. We had what we needed, and the rest I could cover from the money coming in from my business. In fact, with Flynn being my boyfriend, sales of my pictures had increased tenfold.
