Loving the CEO novel Chapter 51

Chuckling, I replied sure before we continued watching the movie until Emily eventually fell asleep again. Getting out of bed, I went over to my room to call James.

"How is dad?"

"I am a great son. Not that you needed to ask James when I have a phone of my own."

"I know dad, I meant to call you," I replied before chuckling on the phone.

"I'm sure you did," he responded sarcastically. Shaking my head, before chuckling I continued to listen to what he had to say. "You're so busy with Emily that you have completely forgotten me."

"Dad, you know it's not like that. I was going to call."

"You have been there from Tuesday Adam and now it's Wednesday night when were you going to call? When your plane landed in New York?" Feeling completely embarrassed, I didn't even know what to say.

Chuckling he responded, "It's okay, I understand. You have found someone to make you happy and I am really happy for you. I am sure your mom would be proud of you if she was here." Smiling, I could imagine that she would be. She was a gentle soul and she believed in love, but if she was here I don't think I would have met Emily. I would have had a different outlook on life and I would've probably been married and settled down already with a wife and two kids."

"I know she would be dad," I breathed out.

"I know you are busy son so I will leave you to it. I am looking forward to seeing Emily when you guys come home from Paris. So please inform her that your old man would like to have dinner with her when she returns." Pressing the palm of my hand against my forehead, I somehow knew this was going to happen.

"Please dad, if you do meet her please don't run her off with your scary attitude. She's a very gentle soul."
