Chapter 86

Blake's POV

I turned abruptly upon hearing my name, only to see Nora smile at me pleasantly like she had just won an award for the best at something. It was normal but it just felt weird. I was so confused and worried as a thought gnawed within me that she might have heard me and Gwen's conversation.

She can't know that Gwen is pregnant, I don't know why she must not know. I might just be paranoid or maybe have some unnecessary fatherly instincts but I just feel something bad, something terrible is going to happen. And I am avoiding that at all costs.

My heart started beating hard with fear and worry that she might know, I had to know if she knew something so I stomped over to her with anger simmering just beneath the surface but it was still obvious that I was angry.

“Oh my goodness! What are you doing here? Tell me, what are you seeking? When did you get here? How long have you been standing here?" I questioned, my voice tinged with suspicion I was trying to hide and suppress.
