Contract Marriage With Alpha Snow

**************

Chapter 20

~Snow’s POV~

Just as I felt our tongue collide, her sweet taste mixing in my head and mind as her scent washed over me, intoxicating Glacier, the door burst open and a small voice echoed through the room. "Daddy! Daddy!"

I blinked, caught off guard by the familiar voice. I wasn’t expecting this—especially not now. Zara instantly pulled back, her wide eyes reflecting her shock and confusion as she stared at the boy.

I could feel her emotions shift. She glanced at me briefly, her gaze flickering with something that clenched my heart.

I panicked. Without waiting for an explanation, Zara stepped back, muttering an excuse before bolting for the door.

I raised my hand, intending to call her back, but seeing her hurry away, I hesitated, letting my arm drop. I watched as she threw one last look at the boy—at me—before disappearing behind the closing door.

My chest tightened. I didn’t even realize how much it hurt seeing that flash of vulnerability in her eyes. But I didn’t have time to dwell on it.

"Daddy!"

The young boy leaped into my arms, interrupting my spiraling thoughts. His small arms wrapped around my neck, pulling me back into the moment.
