C Jia Ming’s Reviews > Bad Boy Next Door > Status Update

The judge shuffles in his chair and looks right at Quentin.
Quentin gives him a little finger wave.
Oh good God.
Linkletter clears his throat. “I see no reason to waste the people’s time. Having reviewed the evidence presented by the complaining party, I’ve decided to dismiss this custody claim with prejudice.”
Russ sits up. “What?”
“You heard me.”
I look at Quentin.
He looks at me and winks.

Hahaha yasss.

“Karen shrinks back. “I’m sorry. I miss him, too.”
She hugs her knees to her chest. “Is that what it feels like to have a dad? What it was like when he was here.”

“I’m sorry, Mom.”
“It’s not your fault.”
“It’s not yours either.”
I nod, trying to stop crying."

Rose,
You are the only person in my life that has ever given me a happy memory. I wish more than anything that I could stay with you and your beautiful family. Without you I return to the nothing that I have always been. I will do everything to keep you safe. You will never hear from me again. I love you.
Burn this letter. Be careful with the money.
-Quent

Shit, my tearsssss D,:

“Where do you get off snapping at Karen like that?”
“This is a conversation between adults.”
“Then what’s she doing here?” I flick my chin at his new wife. “What is she, sixteen?”

YASSSSSS. Someone needs to give Russel a reality check.

Bruh? U having sex at Quentin's house when your kids be outside alone with the rest of the town for the party shit..?!

“This isn’t going to work.”
“What?”
“This. I can’t be a father to these kids, and I can’t—”
She stands straight up. “Why?”
I stand, slower, and raise my hands in protest. “Rose, it’s not like that. I have to leave soon. I don’t think I’m coming back.”

Rose can't expect a random guy to stay forever after knowing each other for a while. Dafuq.

I don't know how this happily ever after will turn out... with Rose having two daughters, unless Quentin changes over a new leaf and is ready to become a dad at the end of the book XD #skeptical
