Chapter 291-That Is A Disaster
Helanie:
My mom seemed to be in a very good mood. She sat with her hand extended on the table, and Lord McQuoid was holding it. Charlotte looked partially gloomy, but her eyes were glued to me. As for Emma, she had a huge, fake smile plastered on her confused face, making me wonder if she even knew what was going on.
The brothers, as usual, didn’t show much enthusiasm. I had a feeling this had something to do with the business deal Lord McQuoid had been trying to make with the packs.
"Now that everyone is here, I would like to make an announcement," Lord McQuoid cleared his throat, adjusting himself in his chair, but not once did he let go of my mother’s hand.
Maximus held a spoon and fork in his hands, his plate piled with food. His hands trembled as if he couldn’t wait to start eating, clearly uninterested in whatever his father had to say.
Kaye looked upset, his head bowed but his eyes raised, fixed on his father. Emmet seemed physically present but mentally far away. Then there was Norman, his lips slightly pursed as he tapped his fingers against the glass of expensive wine meant for the occasion.
"It has been a long time since I introduced you all to my new mate. She is my charm, the light of my life. Without her, I can’t imagine living another day. Truly. She has such an impact on my life that I feel obligated to love her endlessly. Whenever I’m down, and there’s no one to hear the cries of my heart, she comes like a warm ray of sunlight and lifts my spirits," Lord McQuoid said, his words full of emotion.
They were powerful words, especially about a woman who was the complete opposite of how she was as a mother.
She might not have been a good mother, but as a mate, she seemed to be a perfect choice, judging by the way Lord McQuoid praised her.
