Chapter 1345 Let Go (Part Eighteen)

• “Finn, Mommy and Daddy are dating…” Samantha didn’t want him knowing any of this, and she also wanted to soothe Chadwick a little. This was the only way to coax Finn. With his nosy, matchmaker streak, it was the only reason that would make him behave. The second the words left her mouth, her cheeks went bright red. “If two people want to be together, they’ve got to date first. Kids can’t join in.”
