Fall For My Ex’s Mafia Father

Chapter 234
I take a deep breath in through my nose, realizing suddenly that even though I've
written him off a bit, Jerome is kind of a player in this game. Young, not with a lot
of power yel, but that he could make moves, if he wanted to.
“What?” Jerome asks, seeing me study him. “What are you thinking?”
“Nothing,” I say, blinking and coming back to the present moment, folding my
arms and tucking my glass of orange juice tightly in the crease of my elbow. “So,
why are you telling me this? That Daniel called you up because he was pissed,
or upset?”
“Because, Fay,” Jerome says, shaking his head a little. “He went to you first.”
My mouth falls open at this news and my stomach sinks with guilt. “He — he went
to my room?”
“Yup,” Jerome says, nodding slowly. “Apparently, he and Kent were having a fight
when Kent dropped the bomb about knowing that Daniel is...Daniel. And that
fight was largely about you, and wherever you went with Ivan, and Kent letting
you go, And Daniel went to his room for a little bit to cool down, and then he
looked for you all day and he couldn't find you.”

“And I didn’t have my phone,” I say, groaning as I realize that I really was
unreachable, like a princess locked away in the dragon's lair. “I left it in my
room...”
Jerome shrugs a little, taking a deep breath and studying me seriously. “Listen,
Fay,” he says quietly. “I don't know...what's going on with you. And I don’t want to
tell you what to do. But Daniel he's important to me — do you think that you could
try, a little harder, to be good to him?”
“Is he good to you, Jerome?” I blurt out instead of an answer. Because, quite
suddenly, it's all I really want to know. Here Jerome is, clearly at Daniel's beck
and call, nursing him through his fight with his dad and his inability to contact the
girl he’s begging to be his fiancé, fighting for him. But who is fighting for Jerome?
Jerome's mouth drops open a little bit in shock.
“I mean,” I continue, lowering my voice so that it's barely audible. “Does it bother
you that Daniel went to you for comfort only after he couldn't find me? That he
keeps you a secret? That he — he is pushing really hard to marry me, and not
you?”
Jerome shocks me, then, by visibly collapsing a little bit, emotionally. His face
falls and he leans back against the kitchen. counter, setting his glass of juice
down hard and covering his eyes with his hand for a moment. A little sympathetic
squeak works its way out of me and I'm quickly at his side, placing my juice down
next to his and putting what I hope is a comforting

hand on his arm.

“I knew what I was getting into, Fay,” Jerome murmurs, still not looking at me.
“I...1 knew. Okay?"
“Okay,” I whisper, beginning to pet his arm a little, looking up into his face as he
moves his hand away and looks down at me.
“But can you just try to be nice to him, Fay? He's having...a really hard time with
this.”
“Okay,” I say, nodding eagerly. “I promise, Jerome. I will.”
