When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 302

When Mamie stepped out of her parents’ house, she let out a breath she didn’t even realize she’d been holding. Scott was already waiting at the curb, and as soon as he saw her, he opened the car door.

“It’s still early. Want to head over to your place and get your stuff packed up?”

Packed up? Mamie froze for a second. Was she really moving in with him already? It all felt so fast. But then she thought of Garth, his sweet, chubby cheeks and big curious eyes, and she found herself nodding. “Sure. Thanks for helping.”

Scott gave her a small smile. “You don’t have to thank me, Mamie. Seriously, you don’t need to be so formal with me.”

He drove them to her apartment, a cozy place just over a thousand square feet, all decorated in soft creams and gentle lighting. Mamie kept the space spotless, and it didn’t take her long to roll out her one small suitcase.

Scott glanced at it, a little surprised. “That’s it?”

Mamie nodded. “Most of my stuff is at my parents’ place. I only keep clothes for the season here.”

She remembered moving out after breaking off her engagement with Addison. It wasn’t like she’d wanted to move a ton of things anyway.

“Alright, let’s get going,” Scott said, and they headed downstairs together.

Mamie felt jittery, nerves prickling at her skin. She wanted to ask if she could sleep in Garth’s room, but the words wouldn’t come out. What if Scott figured out she knew the truth about Garth being her son? He was so perceptive, she was afraid he’d see right through her.

Scott glanced at her, his eyes calm and knowing, but he didn’t say anything. He just let her be.

By the time they pulled up to The Stephens Estate, it was almost ten. The house was quiet, and Garth was already asleep.

Scott gave her a quick tour as they walked inside. “My dad’s room is on the first floor, along with the living and dining rooms. Garth’s bedroom, his little study, and playroom are all on the left side of the second floor. My study and bedroom are on the right, along with the walk-in closet. Latham and the others stay on the third floor, but they’re only here every once in a while.”
