Family Bonds- Ava and Seth (Amore Island Book 5), Natalie Ann [world of reading TXT] 📗

And think of it this way. If she hadn’t done what she had, we might have never met.”

“There is that,” she said. “And speaking of that… with Hailey almost ready to clear my credit, this will move it even faster.”

“It will,” he said.

“And now my bad credit won’t affect any man that I might want to marry.” His jaw dropped and she wondered if she was pushing when she shouldn’t. Then it hit her when she said Hailey’s name. And thought of everything Mac, Jarrett, Griffin, and everyone else had helped in the past months. She’d always wanted her own identity, but her mother was right—when it was threatened to be ruined or taken away, she found that the Bond family would never allow that to happen. “Sorry. That was uncalled for.”

“No, it wasn’t. But I’m old fashioned. So can we leave it at that?”

She smiled, understanding what he was saying and realizing that she could see her own family forming now too. “We can.”

Epilogue

One month later

“I’m so excited that you are taking me trick or treating tonight,” Adele said when Ava helped to get her in the princess dress. She was shocked that the little girl picked that as her outfit.

“I am too. I haven’t been since I was a kid myself.”

“Do you think I’ll get a lot of candy?” Adele asked.

“It’s not about the candy,” Seth said. “It’s about the experience. And this year we are going to go and see Ava’s parents and brothers and then come back here to finish up.”

“I wanted to go trick or treating in your neighborhood,” Adele said to Ava. “There are more houses there to visit close together.”

She smiled. “There are, but this is your neighborhood.”

“It’s going to be yours too,” Adele said.

Seth cleared his throat and she looked over at him. “What?”

“Go ahead, Adele.”

“Do you know why I wanted to wear this dress for Halloween?” Adele asked her.

“Because it’s pretty,” she said.

“Yes. But because it’s the closest dress I could find to being a flower girl until I get to be one for real.”

Ava looked at Seth and saw his grin. “A flower girl?”

“Yes,” Seth said. “Adele and I talked and she said that it’s really time you move in with us. I know it’s early. Or it hasn’t been long.”

“Long enough,” Ava said, laughing and feeling the tears in her eyes.

“And your family seems to have taken us in like little lost strays,” he said.

“They have. They love you as much as I do.”

“Daddy wants you to marry him,” Adele shouted. “Just ask, Daddy. I want to see the ring again.”

Ava burst out laughing. “Wow. I guess someone is as impatient as me. Let me see.”

He got down on one knee and pulled the ring box out of his pocket. “Ava, now that your credit is all cleared up, will you be my wife?”

She threw her head back and burst out laughing. “Yes, I will!”

“What does credit have to do with it?” Adele asked.

“A story for another time,” Seth told his daughter. “Just know that Amore Island sure does lead to some strange meetings and love matches.”

“As long as you are getting married and moving in, I don’t care,” Adele said, moving forward and hugging both of them at once. “So when do I get a little brother or sister? Can you deliver your own baby?”

Seth shook his head. “Are you ready for this?”

“I’m ready for anything with the two of you by my side!”
