Nelly was struck dumb, her words meant to provoke him but she hadn’t anticipated that he would take pride in it.
Nelly’s silence confirmed Alpha Kilian’s triumph, drawing him closer with a menacing gaze, his eyes akin to bottomless pits ready to consume her.
“Do you miss this?” he murmured softly.
“I suppose… it’s still acceptable,” Nelly nodded. “Considering you got me pregnant on the first try. I have to admit, that’s quite impressive.”
His heart twitched at her words, and his once sensual gaze turned into a threatening glare.
“Do not dare utter those words,” Alpha Kilian struggled to contain his rage.
His gaze bore into her, and he continued, “Do you realize how old our children would be by now if you hadn’t done that?”
They would have been the same age as Donna, charming and endearing.
“You snatched away their right to live and denied me my right to be a father,” Alpha Kilian enunciated each word.
Nelly was aware of the age their children would be. After all, the children grew up healthily by her side. But she hadn’t expected this reaction from Alpha Kilian.
…
The room burst open with fury as Old Alpha Morris stormed in, his anger radiating in the air. However, his rage quickly transformed into shock upon seeing the scene before him.
Glancing at her watch, Nelly spoke politely, “Old Alpha Morris, I apologize for not being able to have a meal with you. I have to leave as it is getting late. Let me find a day to take my grandfather out so that we can treat both of you to a meal.”
With that, she stood up, and Alpha Larry attempted to convince her otherwise. “Nelly, why not make it today? Let me try to invite Alpha Wade to join us for a meal.”
Huh? Today? Nelly’s heart skipped a beat. No way! I can’t leave my three children alone at home!
After a few seconds, she suggested, “Old Alpha Morris, how about this weekend? I have something to attend to later.”
Alpha Larry reluctantly agreed, “Alright, let’s make the plan for sometime this week. The sooner, the better.”
“Of course, Old Alpha Morris. See you then,” Nelly replied happily and began to leave the room.
Alpha Larry quickly stood up and followed her out of the office.
As they walked towards the building’s entrance, engaged in pleasant conversation, they paid no attention to Alpha Kilian trailing behind them.
Alpha Larry, one of Moonwalk Pack’s legendary elites, rarely visited the company. Thus, most employees had hardly seen him during their employment. Seeing him unexpectedly, they were left in awe of the overwhelming scene.
Once they reached the building’s entrance, Nelly spoke earnestly, “Old Alpha Morris, you don’t need to accompany me any further. I will take a taxi.”
“Let me assign a driver to take you back,” Alpha Larry offered.
“Old Alpha Morris, it’s alright. It’s convenient to hail a taxi from here,” Nelly politely declined.
“Then remember to tell Alpha Wade not to evade me. We share the same stance,” Alpha Larry reminded her.
Nelly nodded and assured him, “Of course. I will pass on your message.”
Even after Nelly got into the taxi, Alpha Larry continued to wave goodbye. Once the taxi was out of sight, he finally regained his composure and entered the building again.
Feeling the drastic change in Alpha Larry’s behavior, Alpha Kilian couldn’t help but grumble inwardly. My goodness! I’m his grandson, yet he’s treating her better than me!
Back in the office, Alpha Larry sat down on the couch and authoritative asked, “Tell me the truth. What is going on?”
“Nothing, just trivial matters,” Alpha Kilian responded ambivalently, unwilling to share more information.
“Pfft! Do you think I can’t see through your ulterior motive? Now that she has become such a beautiful lady, I bet you regret it!” Alpha Larry snorted.
Alpha Kilian cried out, “It’s not like that…”
Cutting him off, Alpha Larry fumed, “Enough! Stop making excuses. As your grandfather, no one knows you better than me!”
“Even if I had ulterior motives, what can I do when you stand in my way?” Alpha Kilian retorted gloomily, feeling indignant at his grandfather’s relentless mockery.
Alpha Larry chuckled. “Ha! Are you upset now?”
Alpha Kilian was left speechless.
“You caused a series of chaos before to divorce Nelly, didn’t you? Do you think you can easily win her back now?” Alpha Larry scoffed.
Alpha Kilian took a deep breath before responding, “Didn’t I say I have no such intentions?”
“In that case, stay away from her!” Alpha Larry snapped.
Alpha Kilian was rendered speechless. Is he really my biological grandfather?
Gazing intensely at him, Alpha Larry stated solemnly, “Indeed, I’m standing in your way for Nelly’s sake. If you truly want to win her heart again, you must put in more effort.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Alpha Kilian stubbornly denied.
“Fine! Fine! If you have no intentions, I’ll drop the subject. Undoubtedly, Nelly is a wonderful woman. No matter what, I won’t let her be a victim to you again. I will introduce her to other eligible bachelors,” Alpha Larry declared as he stood up and left, refusing to argue any further.
Alpha Kilian furrowed his brows, lost in deep thought.
Meanwhile, the triplets had returned home.
Donna stormed straight into her room, clearly furious.
Tony and Ben, always protecting and caring for Donna, followed her into the room, sensing her boiling rage.
“What’s wrong?” Ben asked.
Holding her doll tightly, Donna turned to them with an intense gaze. “Don’t you think you owe me an explanation?”
