Chapter 0398 , I smile at him, trying to fight back my tears and moving closer, I hug him tightly. He hugs me back, giving me a tight squeeze. , “Thank you.” , He pats my back before we move back, and I smile at him. This isn’t easy for him, and I appreciate him for trying for me. , “Well, I’ll let you carry on. I’ll head to bed. It’s been a long day,” he says, standing up. , I nod as he downs his coffee and I stand up too, to show him to his room. , “I just want you to know that if things ever get rough and you just need an ear to vent to I am still here and no, I won’t tell you to jump ship and leave him, but we all need someone to talk to at times.” , “Thanks, I’ll be holding you to that,” I say, showing him the room. “Oh, and don’t tell Zaia. I want to tell her myself.” , “I don’t really chit–chat with her unless necessary. I won’t tell her,” he says with a smirk. , I nod. “Alright,” I say, knowing it’s true, he’s taken a step back from Zaia, giving them both space, something that he needed to do for his own sake and for hers. I just wish he’d find his fated mate too… “G’night.” , “Goodnight,” he answers. , I shut the door and return to the other room, realising Zade has either left his phone or he’s back. , Hmm, I didn’t hear him., I look around, but he’s nowhere in sight; I peer outside to see the truck and the bike are both there too… strange. Maybe he went for a run or something. Deciding to shower, I look in my bags, thinking Zade saw all my things, including my lingerie… not that I had anything too sexy. , I rummage in my bags, looking through what I actually brought with me. , Hmm, there really isn’t anything that stands out… I should purchase something sexy, or at least a couple of pieces, before I can go shopping properly. My eyes light up as I grab my phone, sooner or later he’s going to want to ** me and when he does, I want to have some sexy sexy lingerie…. , 15 BONUS , (End of flashback) , I smile as I come out of my reverie and, tilting my head up, I kiss his lips softly, feeling the tingle on my lips. He stirs slightly, making my heart feel all fuzzy. , He looks so much younger when he’s asleep, there’s no frown line on his face. I itch to trace the faint line on his forehead but hold back, not wanting to wake him, before I settle down and fall asleep again… , Morning came and we’ve just had breakfast, and I’m ready to leave for work. Atticus will be heading back home, too. Sebastian had called about a meeting, and I don’t know how Zaia will be breaking it to him, that it’s Zade who will be coming. Out of everyone, Sebastian’s rage will be the worst. , “Oh shoot, I forgot my phone.” I rush back into the bedroom just as I hear the doorbell ring. , Who would that be? I pause, listening out when my eyes widen. , My parcel! I chose the next–day priority, but damn, that was fast! I rush from the bedroom to see Atticus standing there, phone in hand, but his attention is on Zade who is **ing ripping open the box!, My eyes widen in horror as I realise that I am about to be embarrassed! , “What are you doing?!” I cry in alarm. The worst–case scenario that is coming is making my heart flutter with extreme anxiety. I don’t want Atticus to see that! Or Zade, until I’m ready! , I felt so brave last night, not so much anymore! , “Someone sent a parcel in your name,” Zade explains like I don’t **ing know that!!! I ordered that! , Everything seems to be in slow motion as I rush over, the words that I’m trying to say coming out far too slowly. , “I ordered that!” I scream, just as he tears through the black tissue and pulls out the raunchy tiny bodysuits that are made to cover abso–**ing–lutely nothing. , Silence. , Pin drop silence. , All three of us are silent, staring at the open crotch lacy item Zade is dangling from his finger, and I feel the damning surge of heat rush up my entire body, as both men stare at what he’s holding. I’m frozen and so is Atticus. , 15 BONUS , I want the ground to swallow me whole. I’m never **ing ordering anything again. , 15 BONUS , Chapter 0399, Search the website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
