Bobby’s smile was broad. “Natalia prepares meals for Andrew, Nanny Paxton and the physiotherapist, Mandy. Have you met her?” No answer. He sped on, chatting amiably. “They like to eat with him. Mandy, watches how he uses the utensils, because it’s a good way to be sure his arm is fully healed from its break. And Nanny Paxton likes to keep him company whenever she can.”
“Whereas you and Miss Jones prefer to eat separately,” Loucas observed slowly.
Mikey’s eyes were sparking with the fury that was now familiar to him. “What’s wrong with that?”
“You’re the one who puts such an emphasis on Andrew. I would have thought you’d have wanted to dine with him,” Loucas pointed out logically.
“Too many people make him nervous,” Mikey said quietly. There was a warning in her voice. Questioning her devotion to Andrew was a sure-fire way to get on Mikey’s bad-side.
“I see. And you cook every night?”
Bobby reached over for more cheese. This time, Mikey didn’t bat him away. “I like to cook.”
He looked at the bench top for the first time. A mound of dough sat, half covered with a linen cloth. Various vegetables were chopped and resting in little dishes. “You’re making pizza.”
“No. I’m making roast lamb,” she snapped sarcastically.
He ignored her barb. “Good. I love pizza.”
“You’re…staying for dinner?” Mikey grabbed the rolling pin and began to flatten a circle of dough, simply to disguise the way her hands were shaking.
Loucas’s lazy gaze took in the handsome American man, and the blonde woman who had become a strange thorn in his side. His next statement surprised him as much as it did Mikey. He told himself it was the only choice he had. After all, didn’t he have a duty to do what was best for his nephew?
“I’m staying indefinitely, Arnaki. And from now on, I will also be joining you for dinner.”
