The Harper Family (Wattpad Version)

Someone's acting shady

Sofie

I heard a car leave and checked to find the car gone. I left my house, ran to the guest house, grabbed the spare key underneath the planter, and unlocked the door. After closing it, I snooped around the guest house.

For a guy that has worked for my sperm donor for the past years, he doesn't have many belongings. I entered the bedroom, opened drawers, and dug through the contents. I checked the nightstand and closet but came up empty-handed.

What are you hiding, Ricardo?

While searching the guest house, my phone rang. I pulled it out and answered it in a hushed tone. "Hello?"

Why are you whispering? Odin asked me.

"Because I'm searching the guest house?"

Why?

"I'm trying to find out what Ricardo is hiding."

And you're conducting an illegal search and seizure? Are you insane?

I stood erect. "No. My asshole father owns the guest house."

Sofie, you can't search for a place when someone's staying there. You can get into trouble. Did you find anything?"

"No, I wish. It would save me time if I did."

Get out of the guest house before Ricardo returns.

"Oh, fine." I rolled my eyes, left the guest house, and headed back to my house. "So, what are you doing?"

I am dealing with my idiot cousins. I leave for one night and come home with issues.

"What issues?"

Casanova got himself into a bind. One of his hookups is playing who's the daddy with him.

My brows shot up. "Is your cousin the daddy?"

That isn't very likely since the chick won't agree to a paternity test. We don't even think she's pregnant.

"Why would someone lie about a pregnancy?"

The person is looking for a meal ticket.

"Well, that's dumb."

Odin chuckled.

I heard a car pull up outside. "I need to go." I ended the call as the front door handle turned and the door opened.

Ricardo came into the house. "Why do you look guilty?"

"Who? Me? I'm not guilty." I shrugged.

Ricardo glanced at me suspiciously. "Are you sure?"

"Positive."

"If you say so."

"I say so." I strolled away and ran upstairs to call Rachel.

*******
Odin

Sofie ended her call abruptly. I'll ask her later about it, but I had other issues brewing at the house.

"What did your dad say?" Kyler asked Jordin.

"Conner told me to lay low, and he would talk to Oliver," Jordin said.

"Oliver will blow a nut when he finds out," Roman said.

"I'm glad I'm not in your shoes," Ryden added.

We looked at Ryden as he shrugged.

"I'm sure Conner will talk some sense into Oliver," I reasoned.

We heard a pounding on the front door, followed by a pissed-off voice. "Jordin! Open this damn door!"
