Chapter 41

Ana.

“Point and anything you like, Okay?” I smile watching the interaction between my mate and son. They are still in bed, holding Jace’s tablet for online shopping.

“Yes…Daddy, I like everything” Liam exclaims exclaims, happily clapping his hands.“I want this, I want this..ooh it’s a big truck..I want it Daddy” Jace chuckles and adds everything to the cart.

“What about this?”

“1

Yes, ice cream too”

“You got it, son, I got you” Liam k*sses his father’s cheek, and my heart flutters.

“I will show Grandpa” he grabs the tablet from his father’s hold and wiggles from his hold. When his feet touch the floor, he rushes out of the room and we are left laughing.

“Spoiling him much huh?” I approach Jace and he welcomes me on his lap.

“I wish I could more Ana. I missed out out on a lot” he buries his face in my chest and I gently caress his head.

“It’s partly my fault, I should have told you sooner”

“No, Ana I deserved it. you did nothing wrong” Jace lifts his head to look at me and I k*ss his forehead. I just hope trouble will give us a break. “I miss her” I mumble with a sigh. I wish she could have just left past in the past. She not only broke her mate, but her son too. To make matters worse, the man she chose couldn’t even pull a fight.

Jason was only a loudmouth who depended too much on a gun. No wonder Leo betrayed him. He and his followers perished like they never existed.

“Me too” Jace whispers, and his eyes start to water.

“Should we go see Dad? He hasn’t left the room since the fight” I whisper and he quickly nods getting up with me in his hold.

We can’t just assume that he will be okay or it’s time he needs. He can hurt himself for all I know. I was once in his position, and I understand just how much your mind can wander in the wrong places.

Our room is on the 3rd floor. Actually, the whole of the 3rd floor belongs to Jace and me and our baby. Dad resides on the second floor. That i where his home office is located and other rooms I haven’t explored.

On the ground floor, are the living room the kitchen, and the guest room.

However, when we reach Dad’s floor, Llam appears and you can imagine his reaction when he sees his dad carrying me.

The thought of sharing my mate never crossed me until now.

My son drops the tablet on the floor and raises his hands up to his father.

“Daddy” He whines like he is about to cry and Jace chuckles.

“Someone is jealous” Jace k*sses my head and lowers me to my feet” Sorry, baby. I will make it up to you later, okay?” I laugh hitting his shoulder.

“Come on champion” He lifts Liam and slightly throws him in the air and the quiet house is suddenly filled with giggles.

“Dad, can we come in?” I knock on the door and it’s silent for a while. before a shuffling sound is heard. Slow footsteps approach the door before it opens.

He looks disheveled. There are dark circles around his eyes and tired tired red eyes. His face is covered with beards and this is unlike him. I remember how they used to tease each other. They could endlessly love and the way he looked at her, it was so heartwarming.

She was the center of his attention and I don’t want to imagine how he is feeling. They were a perfect couple. Life is just so unforgiving.

“Can we come in?” I gesture to the room and he nods with a sigh.

He moves aside for us to pass, but Jace falls in his arms instead. I slowly take Liam, and I watch the two men break down in each other’s arms.

“Dad, I’m sorry” Their bodies are shaking indicating they are both crying. My son keeps his eyes on the duo and I know he understands what is going on.

“I don’t understand son, I gave her everything. I gave your mother everything and so much more, she shouldn’t have done this to me” It’s the first time he is letting it out. He has been quiet from the day she ran away. Maybe he just accepted the reality.

“She shouldn’t have” Jace agrees and I look away from them.

This makes me think, how will Jace and I end? Will it be this tragic or we

will have a happy ending? I am sure as hell that the drama hasn’t even started. Jason was just a warm–up of wheat is coming.

Leo is out there reenergizing before he appears again. I don’t know what that royal school has to offer. Will we emerge stronger and together or apart?

I know I should be optimistic but this is real life. Shit happens, like what Jace did to me before. His mother did the same thing too. I can only hope the future favors my son.

No matter where I end up, Liam should be okay.

輯

I love you baby” I k*ss his cheek and he does the same. He is my life. “Are you hungry?” I rub his tummy and he laughs.

“No…mummy, grandpa gave me a lot of food” He widens his arms to show the extent of what he ate.

“Wow! My baby is gonna big so big” I exclaim and his eyes widen

“Like daddy?” He asks pointing in their direction. The two men have. calmed and now they have their foreheads pressed together.

“Yes, like daddy”

The doorbell rings and I assume it’s the stuff Jace has been ordering since. morning. I take Liam with me but as we near it, my mind becomes. troubled.

I pull the door open and right in front of me is Chase and holding hist hand, is his mate.

The one who rejected him for my mate.

No matter what happens, my son is my first priority. So I silently move. away from the door, granting them space to enter.

Well, welcome trouble.
