Michael's POV
Reagan stared at me with wide eyes. "Hold on. You mean you're actually seeing someone? Like romantically involved with an actual woman?"
"Obviously a woman, Reagan," I replied, releasing a tired breath.
He burst into laughter, shaking his head in disbelief. "You? In a relationship? That's impossible."
I raised an eyebrow. "Why would that be impossible?"
"Because you're Michael Jade. When have you ever made time for romance?" He gestured dismissively. "Wait, let me take a wild guess. This is some corporate merger disguised as dating, right? A strategic alliance. You're not actually falling for someone."
I fixed him with a hard stare, silencing his assumptions. "This has nothing to do with business, Reagan. What I feel for her is genuine."
His jaw dropped. "Holy shit..."
"Yes."
For the first time in years, my son was completely speechless.
