Emma's POV

The two of us stood there, gazing into each other’s eyes. I did not know what to do, my mind had stopped working and was pooling with so many questions.

“Daddy. Mommy. Is everything alright?” He let go of my arm and distanced himself from me when we heard Ashel’s voice. She and her brother were standing at the stairs, looking at us with a complicated expression.

Draven cleared his throat and I spoke up, “Yes, everything is alright.”

“Are you sure? We heard you two fighting.” Asher said. Even though he maintained a straight face, he could not conceal the worry in his voice.

I said, “Yes, darling. Daddy and I disagreed on something but it is alright now.”

“Okay.” Ashel muttered but she did not look too convinced by us. I grew up watching my adopted parents fight, it used to put me in a lot of anxiety. I did not want to put my kids through that.

I changed the topic, “I haven’t seen the house yet. How about you two give me a house tour?”

Their spirits went from zero to hundred

They already knew that she was back but we were pretending to be oblivious because they did not want to drag me.I trust Draven, I do but for some reason… I feel like his heart is not in the right place now.

They were enough to make him emotional.I said, “I did not want to cause trouble for my own selfish reasons.”“It's not selfish.” Sherra comforted me, “Draven is yours, she stole him from

She swam her eyes across me and the kids, “Out here to have lunch with the family, I see.”Draven opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something but Stella spoke first, “Mind if I join? Thank you. Waiter… Can you bring me an extra chair, please?”The four of us sat there awkwardly until the staff brought a chair for her to sit.“Lovely.” She took the menu she was handed and said, “A T-bone steak with the side of mashed caulis, parmesan snap pea pasta, and sweet potato fries. Also, bring me some sorbet and tiramisu.” She handed back the menu and giggled, “What? Don’t look at me like that. I was on a diet trying to lose weight for

Xavier asked what I wanted to eat and was waiting for my answer which, obviously, he didn't get because I was lost in thoughts.Seeing that I was replying, he looked back and asked, “Are you okay, doll?”I shook from my fantasies and nodded, “I am sorry, I was thinking something.Xavier smirked cheekily as if he had read my thoughts and said, “No problem.

I have seen plenty like you; you get your sugar daddy to get you the membership and walk in with your poor etiquette, corrupting the whole environment.”“Mister, watch your tone.” Sonia stepped in to defend me, “You can't just bad mouth us by assuming random things.”“I am assuming?” The guard laughed, “Florence is not a place everyone can hang out in.
