Chapter 9
Caleb shoved Patricia without warning, nearly knocking her over. The baby slipped from her arms, hitting the floor with a wail
that pierced the air.
Irritated, Caleb snapped, “Stop crying! Is that all you know how to do? Shut up!”
But the infant was too young to understand and only wailed louder.
Frank’s heart clenched. Without hesitation, he scooped up the baby and slapped Caleb across the face.
“Have you lost your damn mind? That’s your son—the first grandson of the Lawson family!”
A satisfied smirk flickered across Patricia’s lips for a split second, but it vanished the moment she met Caleb’s icy stare.
That slap had snapped him back to reality. Images of Natalie’s pregnancy flashed through his mind.
What the hell had he been thinking? He let his wife be branded a cheater and let his own son be called a fatherless child.
