Chapter 147: Staying together (3)
"I have not come here to hurt your wife, but I will be honest that the conversation will be hard. It’s important you hear it from the court before you hear it from whispers around the town," said Mark.
Mark had been around Kate before when he looked into the abuse Alessandra endured at the hands of her family.
Mark was also present when Kate was married to Simon and lost her mother. He wasn’t a stranger to Kate, but he knew his visit wouldn’t be welcomed.
"You still haven’t told me what it is. No one has come to see Kate in years, so you don’t know the state she is in. She’s not ready to hear any bad news, so please, spare her from it," Noah said, slowly inching the door to close it.
Mark placed his shoe to stop the door from closing. "I will be far more polite than the other men who will come to speak with her. The order was for her to visit the court, but I insisted on coming here. If I don’t see her now, she will have to go there."
Noah gritted his teeth.
Why couldn’t they just leave Kate alone?
After all these years, Kate had not gotten any better, so why did anyone from the court think it was good to come to her now?
"Is this about my son or something else?" Noah asked.
Mark raised his brow, interested in the son. "It concerns only your wife, but is there something about your son that I should know? Why would the court come looking for him?"
"No reason," Noah replied, stepping aside to allow Mark in. "Just you. I don’t want her to see so many of you."
