Chapter 65
Jessy was too small to love or hate anyone. The girl was convinced that she was best friends with the Beta.
Smith, because whenever he chere he would indulge her meaningless charter for about live minutes before
leaving her with loads of chocolates, he had once gifted Jessy a nice pink hair band and add my child wore it
almost everyday
So really Jessy just liked people who were kind to her and avoided the ones that were mean to her. Like Emilia for
instance. But | was definitely sure that Jessy did not know how to hate anyt
“She's three Zoe. Hate is a pretty strong emotion for any three years old to have.” | said quietly and Zoe only
looked atfor a second, with her dark eyes staring deeply atbefore finally nodding her head in agreement
and offeringa small smile.
| smiled back just because | wanted to be polite.
“The Alpha wants a cup of coffee.” She delivered before exiting the room.
| watched as her slender frmoved out of the door and | wished that even for a second | could take a peek
into her mind through her eyes.
They were just a fascinating black and they intrigued me.

sture Jessy was well occupied with eating her food before making my way to his office.
| gave a small knock on the door but got no response for what felt like a long tbut was probably only five
seconds. | was about to knock again when the unmistakable drawl of the Alpha voice givingpermission to
step into the room drawled
out
The sight of the Alpha bent over spaperwork on his desk with his brows creased in concentration stopped
He was furiously scribbling something onto the paper in front of him and I just continued to watch him from my

Usually a scolding like that would be delivered in the coldest, harshest tone that would makecower in fear

It was a serious tone, but it had an underlying teasing to it. It was somewhat playful and for sreason that
scared and confused me.
| moved towards his table to serve his coffee and all the while that | moved | could feel his heated gaze on me
and for a moment | feared that | might trip and land on my face, but thankfully I did not.
| could still feel the Alpha’s eyes onas | served his drink but | refused to raise my eyes to meet his.
There was an awkward silence that settled in the air the moment the saucer touched the table.

But it wasn’t supposed to.
“Why did you leave?” He suddenly asked and | widened my eyes in confusion.

A knock on the door stopped my stuttering rubbish and | let our subtle soft sigh of relief.
Smith pushed the door open and holding two of his fingers in a death grip was Jessy with a chocolate bar in her
free hand. There was chocolate over her face but my daughter could care less as she continued to devour the
sweetness in her hands.
“I found her trying to place her plate in the kitchen sink and huffing in frustration when her short arms refused to
reach into it.” Smith said, with mirth shining in his eyes and a smile playing at his lips.
Jessy finally looked up from her chocolate in my direction and when she realized | was the one standing there she
gavea small wave, smiling with chocolate covered lips.
Before | could return the wave my daughter had taken her attention away fromand was currently giving it to
the Alpha, stretching out her small arms and offering the chocolate bar to him.
And when | heard a sound cfrom him, it felt as though I froze in my spot. It was a chuckle.
Not a hum, like he usually did when he was impressed or amused. Or the small smile that tugged at his lips in
these sort of
situation.
It was an actual chuckle.
