Sold To The Alphas I Hate novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: He Wasn’t Born Mute

Jason’s POV

I watched how Kael and Rafe were taking care of Raven. How Kael assured her Raven is the son of this family and she agreed.

In the past, I once dreamed of having a family and lots of kids with her, but didn’t expect the day would come like this. She and her kid were there, but I felt distant. I couldn’t bring myself to go to her and tell her let’s be like a family.

Others told her, but I couldn’t, and that was more hurtful. I wish things weren’t like this.

"Hey bud, want to watch TV?" I heard Rafe ask as both of them went towards the sofa.

Raven didn’t reply, but anyway both of them settled on the sofa close to each other, Rafe’s one hand resting on the backrest of the sofa behind Raven, as if sitting like a protective father.

Rafe picked up the remote. "How about an animated movie?" he asked, "Good for little kids," he concluded on his own and started already.

Rafe’s connection with the kid looked so natural and flawless, the way he treated him and called him bud. Even during the journey back home, Raven was mostly with Rafe and Lucian, and I was busy driving.

I talked to him once in a while. The fact that he was her son already made my heart close to him. There was a certain affection I felt for him. Maybe because I loved his mother in the past, and I still do.

For a short while during the journey back home, when Lucian was driving, he sent me to rest on the back passenger seat as I drove for a long time. I fell asleep soon, but not alone. I had Raven in my arms, snuggling against me in his sleep. Though he matured, he was still a kid and needed comfort and coaxing in sleep.

I held him affectionately like he was my own, and I swear I never had such a comfortable sleep in the past six years. As if that kid had cast a soothing sleeping spell on me.

"Caldwell, do you want to watch TV?" Rafe’s voice brought me back to the present.

Eira looked at him, and he said again, "We need another kid at home to accompany Raven, and you are the only one around."

She gritted her teeth and looked away.

"See, acting like a kid again," he commented playfully, and he looked at Raven, "Do you want her to accompany you? Don’t worry, she doesn’t bite even if she looks like she could."

Eira’s face turned angrier. She was holding back just for the sake of Raven.

And then, Rafe whispered something in Raven’s ears.

In response, Raven looked at Eira and she calmed her expressions, meeting his gaze.

Not sure what Rafe whispered to him, but Raven looked back at Rafe and nodded.

Rafe looked at her. "You are the youngest one in this family after Raven. Even he wants you to accompany him. So be good and come here. Don’t make me repeat it."

Eira, holding the hamster in her hands, stood up and went to them, her angry gaze calm down under Raven’s.

Damn! How could he warn her like this? And she didn’t refute? What was this bastard holding against her, or she was willingly obeying him, despite her anger?

Rafe always had a way to make her do what he wanted. He angered her, teased her, but she was helpless in front of him to overpower him. Even now all the time she spat venom, it failed against him.

Maybe because Rafe was never worried about upsetting her, as in the past he always did it and even now he was the same. His carefree attitude, unlike us four who now acted like walking on thin ice around her, made him win over her.

I looked at Eira. Did she truly have a relationship with him six years back? My heart hurt to think about it, but I shrugged that thought aside and said, "The kid is pureblood, that’s more of a reason to keep him."
