Chapter 185: Not Crazy But Crazier
Arren didn’t want to make it sound like he was interrogating Spade, but his tone was still low with evident anxiety within. The alpha wasn’t the only one walking on thin ice when the other was around.
He admitted to himself that staying in the mansion wasn’t only about him missing his father, but that he was having a hard time continuing with his oblivious act.
He figured out that it was better for them to be apart from each other for a while. Arren knew Spade could sense it and gave him space, which they really needed. But he realized that giving each other space wasn’t enough because they hadn’t addressed the issue in the first place.
It was only ignoring the problem, which would then become another problem for them to tackle.
Spade fell silent, and he didn’t immediately respond. Arren didn’t know if the alpha had heard him or if he was still processing what he saw. He didn’t want to think that Spade was ignoring him.
However, seeing the alpha become silent like this, the anxiety within grew. He was getting scared to know his answer.
"Spade, can you tell me... please?" Arren urged, his hold on the alpha’s arms tightening considerably, which he didn’t even notice as his complex emotions overwhelmed him instantly.
While he was scared, his stubbornness persisted. He wanted to know even more. Even if they fought, Arren wouldn’t back down this time. He felt like they, too, needed to vent their emotions on each other to breathe.
Just when do love and trust become insufficient in a relationship? No, it was always enough, but... Some circumstances needed words of assurance.
