Mates 91

Chapter 91 KAIDEN STIRLING Freda saw how I wanted to take Harper outside to eat and she stopped me. “Where are you going? Didn’t you come out to eat here?” She asked as her eyes narrowed in suspicion. “Yeah, but something came up so we have to leave”, 1 lied through gritted teeth. I just couldn’t bear to be in the same place with Freda when I knew she was out with another man. “Or you’re leaving because of me? Because Harper wants to eat with Cisco. I don’t see the reason why you must deny her that or why your ‘business meeting’ can’t wait, unless you’re trying to avoid me?” “I’m not avoiding you, there’s no reason for me to do that. Infact, Harper honey you can eat with Cisco” I stated in a loud tone. “Good” Freda said with a raised brow as she guided Cisco and the man to a table while I stood rooted to my spot as I watched them take a seat at the far end of the room close to the window. I was still frozen in my spot when Harper tugged me. “Daddy, let’s go join them” she said with a big grin on her face that I couldn’t resist. Sighing, I let her tug me in their direction as we took a seat in front of them. It was a booth table, so Freda sat in the middle of Cisco and Cole while Harper sat beside Cisco as they chatted happily. Seeing Harper’s happy face, I was a bit relieved that her sour www wwwww mood from earlier had been erased. I was happy that I and Freda were sitting this close to each other though it wouldn’t have been possible with ut our kids but I was going to savor every moment of it. 1 could see her up close and d*** me if I didn’t notice that she had become more beautiful. She glowed. The way she laughed at something Cisco said and the way she was at ease with the kids filled me with emotion.

Then I thought of how Safiya behaved at home and my mood soured. These two were the complete opposite of each other. “Freda, here, looks like you need more ketchup”. Cole stated as he passed Freda the ketchup bottle and deliberately brushed his fingers with hers. Freda didn’t seem to notice but I did, and I almost growled at him.. This guy was clearly passing his boundaries. He needed to be kept under control but now was not the time. I continued to stare daggers at him but he was to engrossed with his conversation with Freda to notice. There was nothing I could do, so just directed my anger to the plate of fries as I stabbed the fries with my fork angrily. I listened in on their conversation. Freda just seemed to be making small talks but the guy wouldn’t stop staring at her. He could listen without looking at Freda in the eye like she was his everything! ‘What was his problem?’. “So, Cole” I stated unable to control myself any longer. “How long are you staying?” I asked with a strained smile. He glanced Chapter 01 warily at me. “A while” he replied. “Do you have a problem with me being here?”he asked. D**n, he was very direct with words,the n***a must have noticed I didn’t like him. “No, just asking” I replied with a smile as I resumed eating, Freda just shook her head at my behavior and they continued. their conversation. Soon, we finished eating and I was filled with two emotions. The first one was happiness that at least Cole would stop looking at Freda while the second was sadness that my time with Freda was over. But I saw the way she sneaked peeks at me from other her lashes when she thought I wasn’t looking. Our eyes met a few times during the meal and I smiled at the thought. Freda gave Harper a big hug. “Be a good girl, honey” she stated. as she rubbed her hair affectionately and Harper smiled in return and Cisco hugged her too. I smiled at their adorableness. “Bye-bye, Cisco” Harper waved happily as they left and soon. after I and and Harper also exited the

returned home. We arrived at the house and before we could settle down Safiya rushed in. “So you’re both finally back?” She scoffed. “After refusing to eat the food I made?” She yelled and I was immediately filled with anger. “Take it easy woman, it’s already late. Harper honey, please go to your room, daddy and mommy have something to discuss okay?” I stated with a smile and Harper nodded and casted a glance at her mother before going to her room. ||| 1050) “You better learn to control yourself around your daughter, don’t push your daughter away because of your behavior”, I warned. “And whose fault is it?” she yelled angrily. “You’re the one who’s trying cause a rift between my daughter and 1”. She stated as she sobbed hysterically. “I don’t have the time for this Safiya, all I can say is that your prepare yourself, we are going to the pack council tomorrow and you will apologize to Freda”. I disclosed and her eyes bulged in shock as she wiped her tears quickly. “No way, I’m not apologizing to that home wrecker”. She said. “You will, you must. Tommorow, we’ll go to the pack council and you will apologize nicely to Freda for accusing her wrongly”. I stated in my Alpha tone and walked out before she could form a reply. I walked to Harper’s room and saw her sitting quietly on the bed. I knew she couldn’t fall asleep unless we read her a bedtime story. Safiya used to do that before but… “Sweetheart”, I stated softly. “Let’s get you tucked in”. I laid her gently on the bed and picked up her favorite book and was about to start reading it to her when her next words stopped me. “Daddy where you and mummy arguing again?” She asked innocently. I knew she was angry with her mother but deep down I knew Harper still loved Safiya greatly and I wasn’t going to destroy that. “No honey, daddy and mummy were just sorting out some things. Now don’t you worry and go to sleep” I assured as I -stroked her head and she nodded. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

6245% I read her favorite book for her and halfway through the book, she fell asleep. I dropped the book on the nightstand and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. I adjusted the duvet properly on her body and turned out the lights and closed the door gently behind me. I walked to my room and found Safiya waiting there for me. I was not surprised for Safiya never gave up on anything. “Please, Kaiden don’t make me apologize to Freda, it’s not fair”. She begged as tears fell from her eyes. I was almost sorry for her but I stopped myself. “Not fair? Safiya you say it’s not fair? Let me tell you what’s not fair. What’s not fair was you making a mother kneel down and beg in front of a council for something she didn’t do”. “And when you’re asked to do the same, you say it’s not fair?. Safiya, get one thing straight. Tomorrow we are going to the pack council and you will apologize. Even if it means me dragging you there. Do you understand?” I growled and color drained from her cheeks. Now she could have a taste of her own medicine!
