Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77: _ Didn’t Go Through All The Hell For Nothing

Once I shut the window, I turned back to Cullen who was sleeping carelessly like a mess. I waltzed into his room to grab him a blanket since waking him up while he was asleep was not a good idea.

However, a glint of scattered sheets on his bedside table caught my eye.

Pictures. Lots of pictures.

There just weren’t any pictures. There were various photos – all of Kylo.

My breath clamped in my throat. Dozens of shots of Kylo – smiling, frowning, working, name it.

H– How?

Why did Cullen have these?

Kylo must have uploaded them on his social media but what business did Cullen have saving and printing them?

Then, I remembered him returning from work with Kylo earlier. Perhaps, those two have some business going on that they weren’t letting me in on.

I’d ask them later, but for now, I needed rest. I needed to relax. I needed to hide the mark which was already healing on my neck before anyone could see it. It’d leave a scar later. A scar I would have to hide with everything that I had. freeweɓnovel-cøm

I went back to the living room, draped the blanket over the sleeping Cullen and I walked into my room. There, I found Liam strolling out of the bathroom with a pail.

"What are you doing with that?" I asked with a frown.

He bent the pail for me to see its content. It was his T-shirt. A soaked one.

"I got a soup stain on it, so I had to come wash it off." He said.

He didn’t have to go through all of that trouble. "Come on, Liam. I would have taken care of that for you. Just go drop it, I’ll do the rest of the washing with the other laundry tomorrow." I instructed.

He nodded. "Alright, Mum. Thanks."

"I guess you’ve had your bath, right?" I asked.

He gave me a thumbs-up. "Yup."

Then he should be asleep by the time I’m back from the bathroom, I calculated. "Alright. Go to sleep now." I instructed and headed to the bathroom.

"Mum?" He called me suddenly just before I could shut the door.

I strained my ears out. "Yes, honey?"

"Are you okay? Did someone make you cry?" He asked, eyes clear with innocence.

Liam’s question felt like a punch to the gut. Tears welled up again in my eyes, threatening to spill over.

How could I explain the mess of emotions churning inside me?

I’d never be able to explain it to anyone– especially not Liam.

Shame burned in me at the thought of mentioning Gamma Rhett, and the guilt of keeping secrets from Kylo was suffocating.

"No, sweetheart," I knelt before him, forcing a lightness into my voice that I didn’t feel. "It’s nothing like that. Just a bit of a stressful day, that’s all. You know, after the accident at school and all."
