Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 40

Chapter 40: _ A lot to talk about

Isleen

~~

"They killed my brother, Ms. Isleen. Don’t ask me why I want to know like you don’t already know why."

I didn’t know what to say to Liam after that.

"We will, Liam. I told you before, my Dad’s handling it, so it’s going to be fine." Kylo drew Liam closer and said to him.

I knew Kylo had intentionally done that to show me that I was overreacting. I knew I was still paranoid from I and Kylo’s argument but I didn’t think that was the case here. To me, Liam had no business asking such questions that promote bitterness in his heart regardless of whatever the reason was.

However, this time, I could do nothing but follow behind them and watch them converse. Kylo was upset. I was too.

"You trust in your Daddy so much, Kylo," Liam commented, looking up at Kylo.

I watched Kylo nod. "I do. He’s the perfect person to keep us safe."

I bled in my heart. Kylo trusted his Dad that much. Should I ask what kind of trust he had in his Dad?

Nah, I better not. One thing was for sure, Kylo would never remain the same person should I allow this mate bond to pull me and his Dad closer. It shouldn’t get worse than it already was.

"Is he that powerful?" Liam pressed on.

I frowned.

Kylo chuckled. "He is. Worry not, Liam. You’ll be fine. I won’t let any harm come to you." He paused. "Isleen won’t let any harm come to you."

"Thank you, Kylo. I hope they catch those fey responsible for this." Liam sounded dejected.

Here was a little boy just missing his brother and I was here being suspicious of his words? What the hell was wrong with me?

Gamma Rhett – look what you’re doing to me.

When we arrived at the headquarters, I knew there was a high chance we’d stumble on Gamma Rhett but I didn’t know that it’d be that soon.

What I wasn’t expecting at all was him carelessly hinting at his visit to my house.

Oh, God. What was I supposed to say to Kylo now?

The moment Gamma Rhett’s retreating figure disappeared into the truck and the truck, out of the gates, Kylo whirled on me, his brow thunderous. "Why didn’t you tell me my Dad was at your house?" His voice was low, but the hurt and confusion that flickered in his eyes said more than any shout could.

I flinched. The Lord knows I didn’t want to lie to him. It felt like hell lying to Kylo but there literally was nothing like telling the truth here.

The truth would hurt him more bitterly than this lie.

Taking a deep breath, I said, "Honestly, Kylo, I — I was so flustered after Lupe’s visit, the friendship proposal and all. It — it completely slipped my mind."

Kylo wasn’t buying it. His jaw clenched tight, and his gaze held a skepticism that made me squirm. "Slipped your mind, Isleen? Or are there things you’re not telling me?"

Oh, no. No, no, no.
