Chapter 139: Romantic emotions...
Noah POV
My heart was so heavy that the only thing in my mind was to lie down on the floor and bawl my eyes out. As soon as I left, Selene’s room, the fake smile I had on my face slipped into a frown, I was confused about a lot of things and one of them was Selene’s nonchalance towards me despite everything that had happened.
Somehow, I had hoped that she would be pissed at me or even show signs of it, but she was so at ease that it made me worried. Her indifference was getting to me... a part of me had expected she would make trouble with me regarding Brooke but she still wanted Brooke to be her Beta. Was that a ploy to rub my indiscretions in my face or was there something missing?
Deep in thought, I didn’t know I was walking towards Kurtis’s office. It wasn’t until I was standing in front of his door that I realized I was there. I stood there for a while, contemplating if I wanted to go see him, worse still what would I discuss with him if I did go in? I knew they were all very close friends to Selene... did they also hate me now for what I did to her? And surprisingly, they hadn’t mentioned anything about Brooke to Selene.
Taking a deep breath, I raised my hand to knock when suddenly the door opened and Kurtis stood in front of me, a quiet expression on his face. My eyes widened with surprise when I saw him standing before me.
"Good morning your majesty!" he curtsied and then stood to one corner indicating that I come in "You were standing too long at the door, so I thought maybe you knocked and I didn’t hear clear enough to come to open it for you. Did you want to see me or did anything happen?" he asked staring at me.
I could sense hostility. Although Kurtis was more mature emotionally than Lucius who wears his disdain-like clothes, I could see he was trying to maintain a cordial and polite atmosphere between us. And I commended him for that. "I didn’t mean for things to happen that way," I said sinking onto the couch in his office "I was just overwhelmed by everything that happened and now I regret it so much. I wish there was a way I could have made better choices coupled with the fact that my wife didn’t....?"
"That is not an excuse to chat, Noah!" Kurtis scoffed placing a bottle of wine in front of me and a glass cup "Do you know how many men go days and months without physical affection and yet they’re still alive? What is so special about your wife not wanting to be with you and you giving that as an excuse to sleep with an Ex without fearing that she might discover?"
"I know!" I sighed "You think I don’t regret what happened? I fucking regret it because she no longer cares. Selene is taking everything in a stride and it bothers me so much. I’m worried I might have pushed her farther from me but honestly, it wasn’t my intention,".
