Father & Son: Book two of the Jensen Family Series Read Online Free PDF

read aloud from the book on her lap, making different voices
for each character and causing Luke to squirm in fits of giggles. He took a
moment to analyse his feelings. Did he feel any affection for the woman in from
of him? Certainly. Was he feeling guilty for having sex with someone else,
nope, he felt satisfied for the first time in a long time, he felt relaxed, at
ease but he most definitely didn’t feel guilty about it. Did he still love her?
Hmm, that was the question he hadn’t really wanted to ask, afraid he would have
to be honest with himself and admit that he no longer had any deep feelings for
her, they had all been transferred to his son.
    Spotting Paul in his doorway, Luke began
to jump up and down on his bed, shouting “Pa. Pa” his name for Paul, unable to
actually pronounce his name yet, making Carmen turn to watch him walk into the
room. She was still seething at him and didn’t return the smile he directed at
her.
    “Hey bud.” He lifted Luke from his bed.
“Shouldn’t you be asleep by now?” He asked as the boy jumped up and down in his
arms.
    “Yes he should but Helen gave him biscuits
before she left and now he’s on a sugar high. I can’t get him to sleep.”
    “Where has she gone?”
    “On a date. Her first one since he was
born.”
    “Well, you can’t begrudge her that. I’m
going to have a soak in the bath, I’ll take Luke with me and get him to wind
down in the bubbles.” He told her, avoiding eye contact and concentrating on
the blond bundle in his arms. “Is Gavin alright?”
    “He’s fine, sound asleep. We need to talk.”
She responded.
    “After my bath.” He said over his
shoulder.
    With Luke finally settled and after
checking on his son, Paul walked downstairs to face the music and was met with
Carmen clutching a large glass of wine which was clearly not her first, she lifted
her legs onto the sofa as he entered the room, preventing him from sitting next
to her, forcing him to sit in the armchair opposite her. He hated this chair.
It didn’t match the sofa and had short stubby legs making it low to the ground
and extremely uncomfortable for his long legs as he either had to scrunch them
up under the chair or stretch them out in front of him, it also put him a full
head and shoulders lower than Carmen.
    She glowered at him over her wine glass,
expecting him to start the conversation but he just sat back, stretched his
legs out in front of him, laced his fingers across his stomach and stared at
her.
    “Are you going to walk out every time we
have a disagreement?” Carmen asked taking a large gulp of wine.
    “No, but then again, I don’t intend to
argue with you anymore.” He sat forward “I want to be with you Carmen but not
like this. We used to be so good together.”
    “You used to show some tenderness and
patience, since Gavin has been born, that seems to have gone out of the
window.” She accused.
    “I could throw that straight back at you.”
He answered.
    “All you want from me is sex.”
    “That’s unfair. Perhaps I did expect
things to go back to the way they were after Gavin was born but I quickly
realised they wouldn’t. I was wrong to pressure you but equally, you didn’t
give me the space I needed to deal with it and honestly Carmen, I can get sex
anywhere, I wanted it with you.”
    “So what are you saying? That unless
things improve with us, you will go elsewhere to fulfil your needs?”
    “I won’t intentionally go looking if
that’s what you’re getting at, but at some point I’d say it’s going to happen.”
He replied honestly, consoling himself with the fact that technically, he
wasn’t lying.
    “Where do we go from here?”
    “I don’t know. I want to be here. I want
to be in Gavin’s life. I’m not convinced that by staying together we are doing
the right thing.”
    “But what about the house and everything
here?”
    “The other house is within weeks of being
finished, I have removal people on standby and I’m here
