Waller was already waiting in the study, never bothering to return to his own room.
As Leo stepped inside and caught sight of his son, a hint of satisfaction curved his lips.
“Dad, she’s already married.” Waller spoke up the moment his father shut the door and turned around.
He’d wanted to bring this up earlier, back at the dinner table, when Mom had asked Dad for a photo of Willow. But out of respect for Willow’s privacy, he’d kept quiet in front of his mother.
His father, though, had been the one trying to play matchmaker—Waller felt he owed him the truth, if only to put an end to these well-meaning schemes.
Leo’s surprise was obvious as he stepped closer. “Where did you hear that?”
Waller didn’t answer directly. “She wasn’t trying to hide it. You just made assumptions.”
Leo paused, then quickly realized—his silent, stubborn son was actually defending Willow.
Well, well. This was unexpected. Delight bubbled up inside Leo, barely contained.
He pressed on, hiding his pleasure behind a curious tone. “Of course I know that. But you still haven’t told me—who gave you this news?”
And why, he wondered, was his son clinging to outdated information? If someone had told Waller Willow was married, maybe that’s why the boy was holding back.
“That’s not important,” Waller replied, unable to meet his father’s gaze. He looked away, feigning disinterest.
Leo gave his son a knowing look, then took a seat on the nearby sofa.
“Whoever’s keeping you informed,” Leo said, “maybe you should keep your distance.”
“Why?” Waller turned, genuinely curious.
Leo met his eyes, his voice calm but carrying authority. “Because their facts aren’t straight. Relying on bad information means you’ll miss your window.”
Waller frowned. “That’s impossible.”
He’d seen Willow’s marriage certificate with his own eyes—he knew it was real.
But that had been in his previous life.
