Chapter 140
Chapter 140:
“What are you doing out here?” I asked, squatting to his level. A little smile escaped my lips as I stared at his cute pouty face.
“What’s that look?” he asked.
“Is that how you greet your mother, whom you haven’t seen in days? You’re just too boring, Mom. You should welcome me with a smile and not scold me. Don’t forget, you’re in my territory,” he said, hands on his hips.
“Oh really? How is this your territory?” I asked.
“Well, he’s the heir of this pack, so literally everything here belongs to him. Every darn thing,” Christian said, walking up to us with a smile.
“Well, there’s the reason. Now, who owns this place, Mom?” he asked, leaning forward.
“Fine, you win,” I said, smiling in surrender before hugging him tightly.
“I’ve missed you so much,” I said, kissing him everywhere, making him giggle loudly.
“I came to see you, Christian,” I said, my expression turning serious. His face changed at once.
“Is everything okay?” he asked, looking worried.
“You’ll know soon enough,” I replied.
“I’ll leave you two to talk. I have to keep playing,” Dylan said before running off. He really takes after my cleverness.
“What’s the matter with you?” I asked as we strolled to a quieter place.
“Nothing. Why do you ask? Did something happen?” he asked, looking puzzled.
“Something actually did happen. You happened, Christian. You’ve been distancing yourself from me. You hardly call, and when you do, you try everything you can to keep the conversation short. If I try to make it last longer, you cover it up with excuses. Why are you doing this? Or…”
“Did you lose interest in me? Is there another woman out there? If there is, just let me know. I won’t be mad at you, I’ll accept whatever you…” I trailed off as he shut me up with an unexpected kiss.

“How could you think that? Why would you think I have another woman when you’re the only woman made for me?” he said.
“If I am, then why do you keep running away from me? Don’t you know how painful it is?” I asked.
“I’m sorry, I’ve just been a little distracted. My mom did all sorts of things to you, and I knew nothing about it. I guess it’s just me feeling guilty for what she did,” he said.
“Why would you feel guilty when you didn’t commit the offense? I love you no matter what your mother did to me in the past or present. It’s you I love, not your mother. Your mother made me suffer, not you. So don’t you dare keep your distance from me in the name of guilt. Otherwise, I’ll get married to another man,” I threatened.
“You wouldn’t dare,” he said, hugging me with a faint smile.
