Chapter 71
Reyna Cruz:
“Are you seriously saying yes?” I think he didn’t know I would so easily accept it because even he seemed to be taken off guard. I nodded and a bright smile covered his lips this time.
My agreement to the idea of us tying the knot had brought immense joy to him. I observed him relishing his food even more after that. However, despite his happiness, he soon realized that popping the question tonight was a mistake. As we cozied up on his couch, watching a movic, I thwarted his hand from sliding between my legs.
“Now you’ll have to wait a little longer to be in my pants,” I shrugged dramatically, sliding away to stand up from the couch.
“What does that mean? Haven’t I waited enough?” he smirked, coming after me, but I quickly sidestepped.
“Samuel, we are getting married, so have some patience. I suggest we don’t meet for a week until our wedding,” I wasn’t superstitious, but I knew Polline was. Since I had genuinely become a part of her family, I wanted to respect her beliefs.
“Are you serious?” he raised his brow, and when I nodded, he laid face down on the couch and sighed.
“I am so stupid. I should have waited before posing that question, he made me laugh at how foolish he sounded.
“Well, too late now that I have said yes,” I whispered from afar, watching him raise his head and then get out of the couch.
“That sounds even better, his warm, comforting smile made me feel better.
“Hey, it’s getting late. We should head back home now, I hugged myself, rubbing my arms when I realized it had gotten so cold in there.
“Sure, let me grab my jacket,” he said and stepped away upstairs where he had left his jacket. I wondered why he tortured himself by going all the way upstairs and not grabbing a new one from his bedroom. Which brought me to another question. He never actually showed me around. But then again, we didn’t have too much time, and the castle seemed to have way too many hallways and bedrooms.
After five minutes, he returned wearing his jacket and held my hand to walk me out. It was only when I was out of the castle that I began to feel much more relaxed. I didn’t know I was feeling so weird there. There was something about the air of that place that I couldn’t shake. However, I didn’t say it out loud before him because upsetting him after he had planned such a sweet dinner for us was the last thing I wanted to do.
In the car, I even dozed off and woke up once he had parked the car in front of my home. Although it was a mansion, it looked tiny after seeing Samuel’s castle.
“I wish I could come inside,” he winked, trying to be cheeky.
“Not until the wedding, mister,” I warned him with my finger wagging at him before I stepped out of the car.
“Goodbye,” he pointed at his cheek, and I shook my head, gesturing to remind him that everything would now proceed after our wedding, which was just one week away. However, when you have money, even plenty of it, everything is possible.
He drove away, and I entered the mansion, expecting everyone to be asleep. But luck wasn’t on my side. I was stunned to see Hunter in our living room. I narrowed my eyes to make sure I was seeing it right, and I was. But he didn’t have his car parked outside. I looked around and noticed no one, so I began to tiptoe towards the staircase to run upstairs and see where Polline and Hunter were.
I don’t know why, but seeing him like that actually gave me chills up my spine. However, I hadn’t even reached the staircase when I heard his voice from behind me.
“You were out on a date?”

I turned around to see him looking at my face, anger flashing on his cheeks, tinting them red,
“What are you doing here, and where is–Polline?” I asked, looking around before meeting my gaze with him.
“I ate her,” he hissed at my question, responding a bit bitterly
“Why the heck are you in my home. Hunter? Now that we were facing each other. I raised my voice without hesitation.
“I came here to see my son. Did you ask him to be to me about you being sick and sleeping in your room?” The way he questioned me without realizing that he had no right to do so left me stunned.
“What? He told you that?” I whispered under my breath in confusion. Why would he say that?

“Oh come on, you know he would say that because you told him to say that.” Hunter accused me again, lacking any proof. It wasn’t new anymore. It had become his habit to accuse me or blame me for anything.
*I have not, okay? I am not like you who would use my son.” I hissed, keeping my voice muffled. I didn’t want to make the same mistake Tara made.
“Then why did he lie to me?” As Hunter yelled at me, footsteps came downstairs. Now I knew where my son was. He had left for his room to grab a blanket for him. I think Polline was already sleeping when Hunter arrived, and Turner had let him in.
“She didn’t tell me to lie. I did it on my own,” Turner casually stepped between us and mumbled.
“But why?” Hunter didn’t use his harsh tone with him as he bent over him and gently caressed his cheek.
“I didn’t want you to feel bad,” as Turner said that, my spine reacted.
“Why would I feel bad?” I swear I heard a little voice crack from Hunter.
“Because I know you feel jealous when you see mom with Samuel. I don’t want you to feel that way. Hence, I decided not to tell you about it.” Turner explained, making things even more awkward between us.
Hunter quickly straightened his back and then stole a quick glance at me.
“I don’t feel jealous. I have a mate at home, remember?” The way he flashed him an awkward smile to convince him even left me baffled.
Was it true? Even so, why would he feel jealous of us? He was over me. In fact, he hated me. Or was it that he hated how happy I was now.
“You don’t even speak to her. You two don’t even look at each other with love in your eyes,” Turner shook his head and kept embarrassing him while I too felt awkward.
“Okay, that’s enough I suppose you are staying over?” I told Turner to stop before looking over at Hunter, who was lost in thoughts
“No” I decided to stay over when I heard you were not well. But I will leave now,” Hunter changed his mind so abruptly that
“Oh but you didn’t even come here in your car Daddy. Do you think you will be fine traveling on foot?” Turner asked, and Hunter flashed tum a warm amic

Hunter’s face and how sad he looked. I don’t remember ever seeing him so broken
It was like he had caught me cheating again.

We should just avoid it all and think about our wedding. Nera said in a broken whisper. I knew she was upset too. Now that we were getting married, obviously, we were reminded of our first broken marriage and how terribly it went for us.
However, I wondered how Hunter would react to the news of the wedding.
I think I will
will let him fi
find it out on his own.
That was the perfect decision I have made. I didn’t want to face him with the news because I had a feeling that he would not react too nicely to it.
