"Happy birthday, Grandfather. I hope you have a wonderful year ahead."
Robert Collins was just about to turn away when Melanie's voice made him pause. His sharp eyes flickered toward his grandson and his wife as they walked up to him. A slow, knowing smile spread across his face.
Ahh. The VIPs of the evening had arrived.
"Melanie, Adam," he greeted warmly. "How kind of you to join us." With an easy movement, he shifted his arm slightly, bringing the woman beside him closer as he watched the couple. His eyes gleamed with amusement as he noticed the way Adam's jaw tightened when Saira stood by his side. Ahh. His sweet grandson, still hung up on the past.
"I trust you're both enjoying the evening?" he asked casually. But there was something in his voice that made Melanie stiffen. From the moment Adam told her that the woman with Robert Collins was his ex girlfriend, she had been trying to speculate about whatever had happened. And what he might be upto now.
