Adeola was growing up fast. She was an absolutely beautiful little girl who greatly resembled her father, which kept Elle from getting too angry at him.
This was probably a good thing. Will was enjoying the last few years of his youth by increasing the intensity of his womanising. His passion for blondes would never die down.
And even when he was engaging in extramarital shenanigans, he gained new admirers. Maybe this getting old thing wouldn't be TOO bad...
Elle wasn't entirely convinced. She had struck up an acquaintance with Will's stepmother, Kaylynn, and eventually she dared to ask the widow's opinion of her step-son."I am not getting involved," said Kaylynn firmly. "I know he's had a past, but I'm not in a position to tell you what's going on. We've barely talked in years."
"I'm sorry..."
"It's okay, sweetheart. Just... keep an eye on him."
Unfortunately Elle couldn't keep an eye on Will 24/7 - she DID have a job to go to. Will used his time taking care of Adeola while Elle was at work to swiftly romance the maid.
He was successful, as ever.
Adeola soon started school and Elle never wasted a moment with her. Her little girl was growing up so fast!
Will had also had a birthday. He stared at the mirror despondently as he brushed his teeth. When did he get so old? And who would want an old codger like him? He sighed. It was likely he'd be stuck with just Elle... unless he could find some young ladies who found grey hair "distinguished".
