Why do you look so sad?” Turner noticed the tear-streaked face and asked in concern. Your mother is not feeling well, Polline took him from my arms and set him down. That’s when Hunter showed up after washing his face. He looked sinister, standing tall and broad with his head tilted and a mild smirk on his lips, “Let’s go have dinner: you will feel fine. Turner held my hand, leading me along and gesturing for Hunter to take his other hand. As he did. I lowered my head and followed them. I had frightening thoughts about leaving Turner with him. Hunter didn’t seem aware of Tara’s messed-up state of mind. He wouldn’t think she would do anything, but I knew her. I knew she would go as far as to harm my child to make sure the little bridge connecting Hunter and me was ruined. “Dad!” as Turner began eating silently, he raised his head and signed. “Remember how we talked about me going back to your home tonight?” he mumbled. At this point, I understood that Hunter was spending time with him to warm him up to the idea of staying with him. Of course, he came here with a plan. A plan to take my son away from me. “You mean, your other home?” Hunter corrected him, and he nodded. “Yeah! I don’t think I can come with you tonight, though,” Turner stated softly, filling me with a ray of hope. Hunter looked upset now that his plan had failed. “Why not? Remember what we talked about, me showing you around the pack in the morning?” Hunter whispered in a comforting tone, clenching his jaw when his eyes fell on me. “I remember it. Maybe some other day. Tonight, Mom is not feeling well,” Turner pouted, leaving his

fork near his plate so he could hold my hand and pat the back of it. Seeing him so concerned for me made Hunter straighten his back and shake his leg anxiously. “She has Polline, Hunter murmured, but I could tell he already knew that excuse wouldn’t work, as Turner seemed way too concerned about my health. “I cannot leave to have fun knowing my mother is sick,” Turner stuck to his decision, and honestly, I was able to breathe in peace now. “Hmm! In that case, why doesn’t your mother come to stay in the guesthouse too?” The suggestion made my eyes jump out of their sockets. I stared at him in disbelief. Why would he want me back in that mansion again? Not to mention, I didn’t want to go there eather “That seems like a good idea, Turner snapped his fingers and looked more hopeful than ever as he glanced my way. om Tumer’s face. “I can’t. This is my house. I want to stay here, I quickly dismissed the idea, and the smile disappeared 1/3 000. Chapter 50 70% “Why not? Can’t you do that much for your son? I come here every day to meet him; why can’t you get out of the comfort of your home for him as well?” Hunter was being too much. He was trying to show my son that he was willing to do anything for him while I was being difficult. “It is alright. Mom is right! She is not feeling well, so traveling will be too much for her. I will stay with her, and when she feels better. I will plan a visit, Turner held my hand to let me know he got me. Hunter noticed it and then bobbed his head. “Okay then. I will come pick you up in the morning. If your mother is still not feeling well, we shall take her to the doctor. What do you say?” The glare Hunter passed me seemed like a warning, as if he was trying to tell me that I shouldn’t think I can get away with the excuse of sickness for too long.

“Sure. But I will miss you, Dad. Turner nodded and then smiled for his father. It’s not like I didn’t notice that smile. It consisted of a broken heart. I am sure he wanted his father and me to stay together like every other set of parents, but that wasn’t the case for us. There were too many complications, and we had begun to resent each other, especially after he was trying to take him away from me. “I am done with dinner then. You go straight to bed because you are getting up early to come with me, okay?” Hunter got up from the chair and kissed Turner’s head, stealing a glance at me before heading toward the exit. I was still not satisfied with him taking Turner into the mansion where that snake lived. I “I will speak to him and come back to you, okay?” I rushed to my feet, excusing my son and Polline, and caught Hunter near his car. “What is it now?” He didn’t even turn around to see me walk in his direction; he just knew I wouldn’t be able to hold back the urge to have a word with him. “Can you not do this? Do you know it will hurt him more than anyone to leave his mother behind and stay under the same roof as that woman who is so abusive towards him?” I genuinely hoped to have a serious conversation with him that could) lead us to a good decision. “How much do you care about him?” He asked out of the blue, as if he didn’t know I would die for my son. “I mean, we saw how much he cares about you. He was so excited to come with me, Reyna,” hearing him say my name without clenching his jaw for the first time after so long sent a slaver up my spine. But I kept a straight face and let him continue, “but he changed his plan so that he can stay here and make sure you are fine. Now you tell me, what are you willing to do for his wishes?” He rested his arm on top of his car and then shoved his other hand in his pocket, his eyes judging me for not instantly answering his question. “I don’t know what you want to know from me. You know I love my son and I will do anything for him,” I replied to him with all honesty.

“Really, is that so?” He tilted his head again, making me gulp at what he had in his mind. “Then you will have no problem granting his wishes, right?” He asked, and I shifted a little. “As long as it ensures his safety,” I added so that he knows I am not against his wishes; I am just worried about his safety. “Alright! Then why don’t you come with him every time he comes over to spend time in my mansion?” His suggestion was once again able to make me lower my gaze and shudder. “What happened? You can’t even do that much for him? Or is your second chance mate uncomfortable with you staying in my mansion?” He tilted his head, using a much softer and huskier tone this time. “Why would he be uncomfortable about it?” I inquired in battlement.. I don’t know, maybe jealousy and uncertainty if you will be able to keep your hands to yourself in my presence?” The little in his tone and the quick staring at my lips made me step back in haste and almost trip before I gathered myself. shift an “Think about it because anyway, he will be staying with me for four days a week” he clicked his tongue and then rolled inside his car after he had left me shaken up with his statements. 2/3 |||Content property of NôvelDra/ma.Org.
