Оглавление“What about it, Miss Rebecca?” Colton asked.
“The orphanage may be your responsibility, but I’m the one who found this child—that makes him my responsibility.” The baby nestled in the crook of his arm. Before Rebecca or Heidi could stop him he grabbed the basket and headed for his horse.
“Besides, you don’t fool me. You don’t know any more about caring for the baby than I do. At least I have my ma at home to help.”
Rebecca stared at the retreating back. Technically the child was not her responsibility. But she couldn’t let him go. She shared something with the child—abandonment. She wanted to give the baby the care and love he deserved.
“Wait.”
He stopped, and turned slowly. “I’m taking this baby home.”
“I accept your offer. I think it would benefit us both to work together.”
He continued to study her without any change in his expression. Then he nodded. “Very well. Come along, then.”
Rebecca picked her way across the rough ground. Was it possible she’d agreed to work with him? Live in his house?
