Semua Bab Pregnant For My Ex Sugar Daddy: Bab 81 - Bab 90

Knox's POVI leave the cafe after just a few steps before I decide to turn around. I have been avoiding confrontation with Melissa by tip-toeing around all night, but I am at my breaking point. I don't want to frighten my partner. I have a right to be upset, but I don't want to set her off and cause her to have a PTSD attack. In addition, fights are distressing. If you can't communicate your feelings for fear of hurting someone else, you can't have one in all honesty.Melissa jumps when the door skims back open, the bell hanging above it jingly wildly. I stalk back to our booth.towering over my beautiful mate withsteam billowing from my cars."How long?"What?" Melissa squeaks, eyeing me warily.“How long before you left did you know you were pregnant?" I demanded. My mate immediately drops her head, unable to meet my gaze. The moment she does I know I'm not going to like the answer to this question. "Answer me, Melissa.""I found out the day before our anniversary." When she looks ba

Melissa's POV"What?" Unable to think of anything else to say, I ask. Knox sighs, "I've been gone too long."And so have you." He adds sharply. I realize all of a sudden that he must have abandoned everything to come here. I'm not sure how he handled the several duties he had in Elysium. While he's been busy pursuing me around Asphodel, who has been leading the pack? The council?Next How did none of this happen to me earlier? Living in different cities makes it difficult for us to be together. As soon as I allowed Knox to claim me, I most likely consented to return to Elysinuithe. My last card was the necessity of keeping Tyler close to her father, but when I told him the truth about the DNA test, that justification was thrown out the window."I have a Tyler here, Knox," I hesitantly respond."You had a life there too. Knox reminds me, brushing a few strands of hair out of my eyes.“No." I corrected him. "I had you and nothing else. Here I have a business,friends, a purpose beyond sta

Melissa's POVIt's more difficult to leave Asphodel than I thought. Even though I have a lot of happy memories of Elysium, I've been lonely for it ever since I left. Tyler's early life started here, when she walked for the first time and spoke for the first time.Knox has been looming over me all morning in the frantic manner that men do when confronted with an issue they are unable to resolve, as if he senses my misery. I believe he feels bad about refusing to make the move, but not enough to put it off. I guess it would only get worse if the suffering were prolonged.Tyler is actually taking this better than anyone, though I don't know how long that's going to last. She's been running around the docks while the men pack the boat, saying goodbye to all the fish and manatees, hugging her favorite buildings and even attempting to crawl into the mangroves to kiss them farewell. I almost fell into the canal pulling her back, which would have been the perfect end to a very stressful week.

Melissa's POVAs the first light of dawn filters through the trees, Knox and I step out of the forest, once again dressed in our wedding attire. Tyler and Aiden are already up, though it’s clear the Beta would have preferred a bit more sleep. Tyler, on the other hand, is buzzing with excitement, her first camping adventure too thrilling for her to remain in bed any longer than necessary.It seems Aiden was the one to yield to her persistence, judging by the way he's rubbing his eyes, looking like he’s regretting indulging her eagerness. Tyler sits beside him by the campfire, her restless energy barely contained, like a pup waiting impatiently for permission to play until her breakfast is done.When she sees us, Tyler looks askance at our disheveled state.“Mommy you're dirty." Her little head tilts to the side as she takes in the sight of my muddy limbs beneath my dress. Knox isn't any cleaner, but his suit covers him a hundred times better than my gown."What were you doing?”Her quest

knox's POVThough the thought crosses my mind to enter through the garage with Melissa and Tyler, avoiding the councilors' gaze and heading straight to the apartment, I quickly discard it. I can't afford to show any hint of weakness, not when these men are already testing my resolve. I refuse to give them that satisfaction. No, we will walk through the front door, our heads held high, and if it comes to it, I will take down every last elder in my path to ensure we do.We exit through the side door, our small group moving toward the front of the house. Aiden and Donovan position themselves on either side of Melissa and Tyler, while I take the lead, steeling myself for whatever unpleasant news is waiting for us."Gentlemen,"I greet the assemblage without any hint of a smile,“to what do we owe the pleasure."They are all looking past me,surveying my mate and pup with undisguised curiosity and, in some cases, distrust.“You've been gone nearly a month,Alpha." The chief elder states,“And we
