Conor grinned. He never thought Ezra would initiate a hug with a stranger. What an unusual situation indeed!
Ezra had never taken a look at any cute kids he passed by, not to mention allowing any woman to get near him. Whoever tried to speak to him would be greeted with hostility “Just forget about Jordan. He’s dated a woman before, and they have a child together. He can’t be gay
“This is probably for the best you don’t have to lose sleepover Jordan anymore. If Jordan is your type, I’ll look for someone like him. I’m sure we can find that person.” Connor played the cule of a thoughtful brother.
“What nonsense is that? Do not ever say that to me.” Ezra fumed.

Hedidn’t want Bella to be scared of him. He’d hate for her to see him in a bad light.
All becould do was storm back into his office. That rascal Connor was getting more and more unruly by the day!

When Connor turned around to watch them, he was stunned at the smile on Ezra’s face. I had been years since Ezra smiled–be couldn’t even remember.
This was great. Connor decided to give his brother a helping hand–who cared about Jordan’s past? Conone was determined to make him pa!
