NovelEnglishChapter 0490 "Protect from what?" "From you...from your family." "I wouldn't hurt the baby." The colours runs off his face as if I had just slapped him.
"No, I know that. But the baby will be the heir to the Clear Waters until you have a real baby with your mate.." "A real baby.." He chuckles out finding my paranoia laughable. Well he is the only one.
I take a further step back from him, anger radiating through me. Always pushed aside by him, always ignored for no fault of my own.
"Don't laugh at me." I seethe out, hot molten anger racing through me.
"I'm sorry, I'm not laughing at you. You must know how much I love you Cleo, how much I want to be with you. Since the hotel..." Again he tries to close that gap between us. My back almost touching the brick house wall.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Since the hotel you've had plenty of tto tellthat you have another. You letfind her almost naked in your bedroom..." My finger jabs into his chest, pure anger in my voice.
"You've had tto tellyou were pregnant." He jabsback, in the upper corner of my chest...just before my shoulder.
He's strong, it actually hurts more than I am letting on. He doesn't know I feel everything at the moment, that my wolf is withdrawn.
Jaxon must have failed to tell him about my burn with the pizza as he spilled my most inner secrets.
"I only found out that day, I cstraight to tell you Jace. I would have cto the hotel if you hadn't text back to say you were home.
Two months I've reached out, you had plenty of times to tell me.
Do you realise what that night meant to me, how I had waited...then you leftalone. Leftto wake up alone in your penthouse, madefeel like a one night stand.
Is that what I am to you Jace, a hotel girl. Sfemale you picked up at the bar, a dirty little secret?" I was finally letting out two month's of anger, two month's of frustration...and hurt.
"No, of course not......." Perhaps it is finally dawning on him that he shouldn't have treatedlike that. How he shouldn't have tastedand then ran out, bringing hanother girl. He was almost speechless, his words struggling to cout. "I was naïve, I can see that now." My spine straightens, my chin rising as I realise how he played me.
Not any more.
"I want you.." "You can't have me, not when you have another. I won't be a mistress, a dirty secret. I should have gotten into that lift, I should have gone downstairs to the human." "Listen to me....I love you." He grips my shoulders painfully, shakingslightly to makelisten.
"No." "Yes I do, I've just tried to fight against it. I want to be with you, don't do anything you will regret. just need time. Please Cleo." I whimper with the plea in his tone, he was only asking for stime.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmTthat I also needed myself but there was something about him, something that didn't seem right.
I know he was in shock, I was still in shock myself...I can give him time, surely can give him stime. He needed to do right by his mate, he needed to tell her... to reject her.
Jace wasn't a villain, he was caring, warm and protective...of everyone. He needed to make sure she was safe, that she was taken care of.
I can give him time, for the sake of our baby, I can give him time.
"I can give you time, If you are sure
this is what you really want?" I shouldn't let it in, I know I shouldn't That small all ball of excitement, of hope that I keep quashing back down...it starts to grow again I struggle to fight against it as he keeps saying the right words.
"Yes Cleo, this is what I want. This is all I have ever wanted, I just need m time. I need ttoxtel Calfie and to put measures in place for her." He sighs out with relief. "Of course, I understand."
"Then you will wait for me, you won't you m act on this withoutdo you promise Cleo? I need to hear you promisethat." "Yes, I promise you Jace." "Good now go around the back, you can't climb the walls...not pregnant Cleo." "When will I see you next?" "Givea few days, I'll cback. Don't tell anyone I was here...not until we have decided what to do...together."
