Chapter 28: To Melt Him (part 2)
I bit my lower lip because his answer pleased me. My heart felt overwhelmed because finally... I could make him hypnotize me. If before he was the one who could do that and would use force on me, my approach was a bit commanding yet it could please him just as the way he used the same method on me.
"Good. I shall see you tomorrow. Same place. Here," I said, sighing in relief when he agreed and did not insist on anything anymore.
Desmond rolled his lips to his mouth and nodded. "Yes, seraphim. I will be right here waiting for you." He kissed the back of my palm again before he slowly stepped backward and transformed into his wolf form.
I was more relieved now that he ran away in the opposite direction. "Dear me..." I mumbled as I made sure that Desmond was out of my sight.
I used my wolf speed to go to the nearest flower boutique and bought some lavender flowers. Having this, it could hide my scent and would mingle with my surroundings. I was even more alert to my surroundings because I couldn't be certain if someone from Desmond's pack would come to see me even though his pack wasn't located there.
I arrived at the flat and finally could breathe in relief. I was scared at the moment that if Desmond kept insisting on seeing my flat right at this moment, he would do anything to leave me with no choice but to bring him here.
He would see Sander's things here so as much as possible, I must avoid them meeting each other. He must not know the existence of our son. I was afraid he would take him away from me.
Or perhaps, I could fool him that Sander's father was from another man.
But I couldn't fool him. Sander looked exactly like Desmond, except for his hair! Desmond would never believe me with that.
I put down my things and thought for a moment. I must bring Sander away for a while and would take him back as soon as Desmond was not here in this town.
His business under the orders of Alpha King Azarius was to collect taxes in every establishment. I think he still collected them every year or perhaps, quarterly.
Even so, this was not good. There might be a bad opportunity that Desmond could meet my son.
The door swung open and revealed my handsome son. "Mama!" He beamed.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
"Sander..." I immediately hugged and kissed his forehead when he ran toward me. "How is your day?" I asked softly as we both settled on the couch.
Sander hugged me and leaned his head on my chest. "I met the neighbors' kids, Mama. I made new friends." Then he looked up. "They are kind. We played on the river bank this afternoon." He looked delighted right now.
"Really? Can I meet them?" I asked. I was surprised that I got to know that he was befriending our neighbors' kids. I have seen my other neighbors and they looked friendly. They have already seen me with Sander before and welcomed us when we first arrived here.
Halsey and Griffin were the names of Dami and Lola's kids.
"Hmm!" Sander nodded. "Mama, Lola said that she wants to invite me for dinner tomorrow night. Am I allowed to stay with them?"
I blinked. "She invited you?" Sander nodded. At that moment, an idea clicked inside my head.
If Sander would stay there, there was no chance that Desmond and Sander would meet.
"Can I go and play with them more?" His face looked hopeful.
"Of course, of course, sweetheart." That was a relief! "I shall fetch you there. Mama will have a visitor tomorrow."
"Visitor?" He tilted his head before I nodded. "Who, Mama?"
How must I say this? His father was going to come here? "Just a friend of mine. He won't be that long." I caressed his hair. "He?" he parroted, creasing his forehead. "A male?" He frowned.
My jaw dropped when I realized what I said. "Um... Yes." There was no point in lying with him. I couldn't keep lying to my son. As long as I did not say that it was his father then it should be fine.
I guess...
"He won't be that long, Sander. We just need to catch up." Like whate kind of catch up, Seraphina? Spend a night with him? I flinched at that moment. I castigated myself for thinking about that.
His frown did not change. "Can I meet him, Mama?" he asked after a moment.
Oh, damn it! Not that kind of
question... "You can meet him some other time. For now, shouldn't you be excited? You have playmates now, eh?"
His contorted face changed into a pleasant one. "Hmm! I will finish studying first then I will play with them!"
"Yes, right, right." That made me feel relieved. I managed to divert his attention from Desmond being my visitor tomorrow.
Goddamn it, Seraphina! We must be careful not to have Desmond and Sander meet.
I hope everything will be fine tomorrow.
