Chapter 148: _ Mum, You Kissed Him!
Kylo seemed to relax a little. "Okay, good. Well, I should really get going."
He began to walk back into the corridor, perhaps, to go see his father. I also began to walk back in but I halted when he paused at the doorway, casting a concerned glance at me. "Sorry about encountering Dad, Isleen. I didn’t know he would be back so soon."
My cheeks burned even hotter.
This day was turning out to be a disaster. "Actually, it’s fine. Gamma Rhett was pretty chill about it all. He’s not angry, I assure you."
He gave me a knowing smile and it was as though he didn’t quite believe me. "I see. Well, I guess Dad must be in his room then, right?"
"Yes," I confirmed, relieved he wasn’t pushing the issue.
"Great. See you later, Isleen." He flashed a quick smile before disappearing down the hallway.
Sighing in relief, I went back into the guest room where I surprisingly found Liam awake, staring out the window while Lupe remained fast asleep.
The sound of the door jolted him and caused him to turn toward the door. "Mum! I was wondering where you went." He said, running to me.
"Hey, champ," I forced a smile and kneeled to his level. "Just couldn’t sleep, so I decided to grab a glass of water."
He frowned, his brow creasing in a way that reminded me of Kylo’s earlier concern. "But wasn’t Gamma Rhett just in the kitchen?"
