Mated To My Boyfriend's Dad novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79: _ Lupe’s Mother

I woke with a groan, my body filled with a mix of soreness and an inexplicable feeling of refreshment. It felt like I was reborn overnight and yet, defeated overnight.

If that made sense at all.

As I stretched my tired and energetic bones while sunlight streamed through the window, painting squares on the duvet, I yawned, fluttering my eyes open.

It was then I noticed Liam hovering above me with a wide smile plastered on his face.

My heart jumped into my throat the moment I glimpsed his figure. It felt like Deja Vu all over again. I remembered finding him hovering above me like this before. "Liam? What are you doing?" I stammered, my voice hoarse.

"Hi, Mum. just watching you sleep," he chirped, his smile unwavering. "It was beautiful."

Argh.

I knew he meant well but that shit was scary.

I shook my head, holding my chest. "You scared me half to death," I managed, my voice still shaky.

I watched Liam’s smile faltered and got replaced by a worried frown. "Did I? I’m sorry, Mum. I didn’t mean to."

That somehow melted my heart. I could see the innocence shining through him. My overreaction was as a result of the pregnant night I had. Everything had been happening all at once. "It’s okay, honey. It’s just... I didn’t see you there," I mumbled, forcing a smile.

"Rough night?" he asked, his brow furrowed in concern.

"Yeah," I sighed, forcing the memories of that strange touch and caress from last night out of my head. "A little rough."

"Want me to massage your bones?" Liam offered with a serious face.

Oh, my boy. Having him around was a blessing I didn’t know I needed. At this time when the whole world was against me, Liam was the sooth that kept me going.

However, his offer was absurd. The image of his small hands kneading my aching muscles sparked a laugh that escaped my lips before I could contain it. "Thanks, sweetheart, but I think I’ll manage."

I stretched again, finally standing up. "Have you had your bath for school?"

Liam’s smile widened like a that of a child happy to not attend school. "Okay, well— the news says school’s closed for the week."

I sat up straighter, confusion washing over me. "The news? I had guessed right then. It’s probably to pay respect to the late Mr. Fenrir. What time is it?"

Liam shrugged. "Afternoon."

Bewilderment washed over me. I glanced at the clock on the nightstand. It read 2:15 PM. "Afternoon? Oh my, I must have overslept."

Liam nodded vigorously, hands under his chin as he watched me stand up and move to the bathroom.

"Hungry?" I asked, needing a distraction from the guilt chewing at me over missing an entire morning.

I knew the weight of everything was huge on me, yet, I never realized how heavy it was. I had not overslept this way in a long time.

"Not really," Liam replied. "Had a big dinner last yesterday.... Last night."

Phew!

I’d feel like a loser if my son had starved because of my carelessness. "Happy to hear that then."

With a sigh, I pushed myself out of bed and headed towards the bathroom.

"Go back to the living room. I’ll be out in a few." I said to him. "Cullen is off to work, I suppose?"
