"Look, Kash, I think you’re making a big deal out of nothing. Even at the cafe, you overreacted," I began.
I had barely started speaking when Kash’s loud grunt silenced .
"And you don’t know why? You embarrassed ," he complained, making look down awkwardly.
"Okay, fine. I’m sorry. What else do you want to do? Cry a river?" I asked, lifting my eyes to him again.
He stepped closer until we were standing face to face. We stared at each other in silence before I drew in a deep breath and looked away.
"I’ll go and change," I murmured softly, walking past him toward the room.
Even after I entered the room, I began to feel dizzy. I sat on the bed with a hand pressed to my forehead, trying to calm my nerves.
At the sa ti, I heard voices outside. I knew they were filling my husband’s ears against .
But I was too dizzy to go back out. It felt pointless.
The others would never change their opinion of . The problem was that they were trying to change Kash’s opinion of .
"This is the difference between an Oga and an Alpha she-wolf. An Oga does not care how she embarrasses her mate," Lady Vivian’s voice rang out clearly.
"It’s probably nothing. I an, she just went shopping," Kash excused, offering a weak explanation for .
"Yeah, but where are those shopping bags? What did she shop for all those hours?" Lara asked.
I did not think any less of her. I knew she would do that.
After a few seconds, their voices began to fade. I did not know what was happening to .
I lay down, slipped off my slippers, and without even changing, crawled back into bed. I pulled the covers over .
Before I knew it, I had fallen asleep.
I woke to a strong wind outside. As I began to move, I noticed Kash’s strong arms wrapped around .
It brought comfort, so I drifted back to sleep.
The next day would be the biggest reveal. I was ready for it, ready to see how Lady Vivian would respond and to know Lara’s reaction.
I do not know why, but I was extrely anxious.
The next morning, I found out that Kash wanted to take the kids to a playground they had planned.
I wanted to go with them, but I knew I had to visit the cabins where the surprise would finally be revealed later that day.
"You’re not coming?" Kash asked, not even turning to look at as I joined them for breakfast.
"I’m not feeling well. I was thinking I’ll go and get a checkup done."
I was about to sit down when I noticed Lara roll her eyes at .
"Is this one of the lies you tell when you don’t want to go out with Kash?" Lady Vivian comnted.
I looked up at her in disbelief.
"I think you’re confusing with soone else," I said.
That was all I said before I heard Lara scoff.
I looked up and noticed Kash watching . But the mont I tried to et his eyes, he turned away.
"Lara, would you like to co with and the children?" Kash asked in front of , and my spine straightened.
I was not comfortable watching her go with my children.
And it was visible on my face. I wanted everyone to see it. I wanted it to be known.
"Sure, I would love to co with you," Lara replied, clapping her hands together and smiling at him.
"We don’t want to go with her," Amy imdiately spoke up, pouting and frowning at Lara.
"Don’t beco like your mother," Lady Vivian comnted, then gave Amy a smile. "Lara will take good care of you. Besides, there will be other children, and your father needs soone beside him."
Lady Vivian continued speaking, trying to convince my children to give Lara a chance.
I watched my world crumble in front of , but I remained silent.
Markus had said, while eyeing , that under no circumstances should I cancel the plan. We had to visit the cabin before evening because that was when Zoe would be brought there.
"Mummy is there for Daddy. She’ll co with him," Colin complained, pointing toward .
Everyone’s eyes shifted to , and I awkwardly lowered my gaze.
"Yeah, I think your mummy is too busy, but that’s okay. Daddy is with you, right? Everything will be fine. Do you want Aunt Zoe to co?" Kash said, wrapping an arm around both children.
He looked at from the corner of his eye before lowering his gaze to them.
It was not a lie when I said I was sick. I could not even get any food down.
It had happened before, and now that it was happening again, at a ti when everything felt like it was collapsing, I began to wonder how I would deal with it.
But I had to remain silent and not ntion my condition to anyone.
"Okay," Amy replied softly, giving a very sad look.
The rest of breakfast continued in silence for . I could not eat much.
Everyone was talking, sharing thoughts and laughter, but no one included . I was avoided as if I did not even exist.
To be honest, I was emotional at tis, but I held on to the thought that everything would eventually be okay.
After breakfast ended, I got up and walked to the room. That was when Kash followed .
I had to prepare the children, but I felt drowsy.
"Are you okay?" he asked, not looking directly at as he took things out of the closet.
"I’m fine," I uttered, getting up from the bed.
"If you want, I can co to the hospital with you," he mumbled, making close my eyes to subdue the pain of being distant from him these days.
