Chapter 165: Family
Sandro jolted at the loud noise.
His eyes then shifted from the door to Azrael and to the woman next to him. Slowly, his shocked face turned grim. With just a few strides, he approached the distraught and disheveled woman and grabbed her by the arm.
He didn’t bother asking permission to drag Elise out from Azrael, as his wide eyes told him, ’What are you still standing there, man? Follow your husband!’
However, Azrael just stood frozen outside the door like a stone statue deteriorated by the rain. The echo of Knox’s door slam, which was enough to tell him of the omega’s feelings, reverberated through his mind.
Azrael was struck by a force that was both shocking, painful, and worrying, upon the sudden realization that he had completely forgotten their child in the playground alone, hit him.
Unwarranted scenarios came crashing into his head, turning his already heavy breathing into ragged gasps, while his heart pounded as though it was some excited ball bouncing, striking his walls as a form of reproach and trying to escape his chest.
His attention was caught again by the sound of the scraping floor.
Azrael snapped in his drowning emotions and lifted his head, witnessing a seemingly fun play of tug of war, performed by none other than his friend – Sando, and his stalker – Elise.
The lady’s deranged pleas and groundless threats echoed in Azrael’s ears once more. His eyes flared with anger again, his nails clawing on his palm as he met Sandro’s warning gaze.
