Chapter 6: New Home
Sue
How? How does he have a son?
I remained silent as I watched him interact quietly with his son, but he barely acknowledged the woman. I trudged after him when he finally stepped into the palace, and I didn’t miss the way the woman threw me a scalding look, one which made me scoff in irritation.
"Damon, who is this ugly looking thing?" The woman asked after pressing against Damon with the ruse of taking off his jacket for him. However, he shrugged her off and took his jacket off himself.
"She’s none of your concern, Adele."
Adele. So that’s her name.
The woman didn’t look happy by that response. If anything, the look she gave me was angrier this time and I just knew that she was gonna give me a hard time here.
Damon began to climb up the stairs and I dutifully accompanied him, while Adele kept trying to plaster herself against him– ’try’ being the key word.
When he got into a large looking sitting room, after I stepped in, he ordered Adele to leave. She refused and tried arguing but after he leveled her with a dark look, she relented and exited the room, but not before giving me a long, scalding look.
After the door closed after her, I let out a loud scoff, instantly folding her arms.
"Really? You have a wife and a child? And you brought me back here with you? For what reason?" I demanded, watching as he ignored me, choosing to head to the bar at the end of the room to fish out a bottle of alcohol.
