Babel Novel
Chapter 184
Xade’s pov
Fay’s eyes widen in surprise. ” You want to marry her?” she repeated, her eyes swimming with shock.
I nod, wincing inwardly. I was not very good with conversations like this not very good with conversations like this and my nerves always got the better of me which makes me babble anything that comes to mind first.
“Your daughter is my life,” I admitted. “I want to spend the rest of my life with her and our baby. I came here to ask your permission to marry her. I can’t ask her if you do not give me your permission first.”
Fay’s eyes deepened even more with surprise, looking at me as if I had grown a second head. I continue. “I want to take care of your daughter for the rest of my life Fay, until my very last breath. She means more to me than my own life-
I am surprised,” Fay says bluntly, cutting in my words and making them die on my tongue. “Beings like you don’t care for marriage,” her eyes narrowed on my face then skit over her front yard.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
“Where is your car? How did you get here?” her tone is suspicious.
Her house is a bit far from the main road and it was a long walk to reach it. Saying I walk here would be crazy, but that was the only lie that would even make it less maddening. “I walked-
Fay’s eyes skit back over to me and for a moment she looked so much like Avery here, making me already miss my mate. ” You mean you run here?”
My eyebrows raise to my hairline. In all the years I have known Fay she has never questioned me like that before. But then again she does not remember me.
“I- I know what you are,” she cuts in before I can finish. I blinked stunned and confused, my brows drawing when she regards me with a hard expression.
” I saw her mark, I know what it is,” she says tightly and looks around. ” And for whatever reason there are more of you around. I don’t know what’s going on but I know for whatever reason your people are keeping an eye on me.”
My heart thrusts against my chest, my mind riling. She knows? She knows about us? about what I am? I stared at Fay as if I had seen a ghost, unsure of how to react to her confession.
She opens the door wider, shifting to the side. ” Come in, we need to talk,” she says stiffly.
My mind races with every possible reason she is willingly inviting me into her home now. The woman who I grew up knowing as a second mother knew about what we are. Had she known forever?
There are many questions fluttering through my head that I want answers to. However, her invitation was alarming and I could not so easily trust her, even though when she knew me, she was the sweetest woman I had ever known.
She saw my hesitation and tilts her head, studying me. If you want me to accept you into my family wolf, you need to trust me don’t you think? I know what you are to my daughter and harming you will only hurt her,” her eyes steeled.
I love my daughter and I will never hurt her.”
