Chapter 405-Catching The Alpha In The Woods
Helanie:
"So, how were they?" Emmet asked as I left the mansion. Thankfully, I had to leave before Charlotte and her mother started bothering me. The family had returned a few minutes ago, so I was all set to go.
They did question Emmet about what I was doing there, and he confidently told them to never interfere in his business. Well, everybody knew not to mess with Emmet’s guests, so I guess I was fine for now.
"They are so adorable, but they did tell me that you don’t like them. Why is that?" I asked as we took a short walk toward the road.
"They aren’t wrong."
It hurt me when I heard Emmet respond like that.
"Okay, I’ll head home now." I didn’t know why I expected some compassion from him.
"Hey, did I upset you?" I heard him call for me, quickly catching up when I attempted to speed away.
I turned to him and only gave him a look, and he understood. "I don’t hate them. I’m just not really good with kids."
The way he quickly corrected himself brought a smile to my lips. "You can always try. Having a family is a blessing."
He nodded his head, looking around with his hands in his pockets. "I’ll pick you up from the academy tomorrow. Would that be okay?" he asked, making me nod.
