Chapter 0032
"Is he my daddy?" Alex asked Jake first before redirecting the question to his mother.
"Mommy, is he my daddy?" His tone and manner was so innocent and simple that he might as well have been asking if that was a watch on my wrist.
Sara took a deep breath while I held mine. I waited for her to answer the child's question.
"Alex... baby. C'mon, why don't you wait in the car -"
"No!" I cut in, feeling annoyed. "He goes with Jake."
What was so hard about saying "yes, Alex. This is your father" to a three-year-old kid?
There was real fear in her eyes when she asked,
"To where? Where's he taking him? Is it to meet your mom?" Her voice shook.
"Who says he's taking him to the Luna?" I was momentarily confused. Then I recalled Rich telling me that she saw my mom.
"I see you fear her more than me, huh? Is that why you had the audacity to ignore my calls?" I asked her.
"Alex, go with the beta. He'll introduce you to your NANNY. Your mommy and I will come up soon," I said to the child, and he started to move immediately.
Sara didn't try to hold him back. Jake helped the kid down from the car and shut the door before leading him away.
"I'm gonna have to go over some ground rules with you, Sara," I began. "Here's a very important one: NEVER NOT ANSWER MY CALLS!"
She flinched, but I wasn't done.
"The next time you ignore my calls, I'm gonna have to rethink this whole arrangement, you hear me!"
I signalled for the driver to take us round back to the parking lot as I went on.
"I was going to wait till Alex's house is ready, but there's no need for that. Here," I handed her an envelope.
She looked at it with positive dread before reaching for it with shaky hands.
"What's this?" she asked.
"Open it!"
As she scanned the first page, I watched her face tighten with disgust. "An agreement, of course," she said through gritted teeth. "Nope! Just some rules," I remarked. "Wait, you seem upset. Why? Is it because it doesn't include weekly sex with me?" I mocked. She stared at me with pure disgust.
"Sign here, so I know you understand the consequences!" I snatched the papers from her and turned to the part that had her name. "Is this necessary? I'm already doing what you asked!" she seethed.
"I need to be sure you understand that he goes where I go, and when he's with you, I have to know where you are!" I replied.
"I have to read this first -"
"Really?" I cut in.
"Are you sure? Cuz between your job and raising my heir, I thought you only have time for your silly romance novels."
As surprise flashed in those chestnut eyes, I realized my error before she spoke.
"How did you know I read romance novels?" she asked innocently.
"I used to fuck you, Sara. Remember?"
She swallowed and looked away shyly. Nice save, I thought.NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
"You wanna read it? Fine. Knock yourself out. But I need it signed tomorrow evening."
She took the envelope from me and started to leave the car. "If that's all, I'll head upstairs now."
Without giving me another look, she got out of the car and headed to the elevator.
With her back to me and no one around, I could watch. Her lean waist, the gentle curve of those hips, Goddess! My wolf was still
powerfully drawn to her. She was as perfectly enticing as ever.
She turned around abruptly and started to walk back briskly.
"Your mother?" she asked.
"She's nowhere near this resort, Sara. I would've told you if she were," I replied.
"We need to talk about that!" She snapped.
"We do, but not now."
She heaved a sigh, then turned away and resumed walking to the elevator.
As I watched her this time, there was
an odd feeling of satisfaction at the
fact that she was going upstair
my lair. We were spending the night under the same roof.
For the last four years, I've wondered how she slept and with whom. All of
that horrific suspense has come
an end. The feeling was strangely exhilarating.
I got out of the car and followed behind her in casual strides.
As she entered the elevator, she saw me coming and kept her finger on the button until the door slid shut.
