Chapter 439: 439-The Truth Comes Out And Momma Bear Is Angry

Helanie:

"Charlotte, she came here to meet me—who the heck told you to yell at her?" Maximus lost it out of the blue, yelling so loud that it made her face turn pale.

"Maximus, please calm down," The minute I turned to look at him, he checked his behavior.

"I’m sorry," he mumbled like a lost puppy, lowering his head sadly.

"Are you serious? You’re way too nice to her," Charlotte complained, and Maximus gritted his teeth at her.

"I’ll go check if Emmet is done showering. I wanted to check on him anyway," I quickly added, hoping Charlotte wouldn’t think I came here only for her fiancé. But before I could leave, I turned to Maximus and smiled at him. "You can’t blame me for everything. Her standing here should remind you of something."

It was my way of telling him that he can’t expect me to still be crazy in love with him after he decided to accept my abusive cousin.

I briskly made my way past her, intentionally hitting her with my shoulder because I had so much anger inside me at that moment.

Once I was at the stairs, I saw Norman coming back up, frowning as if trying to understand what happened.

"You’re a good guard, huh? Slacking off on your duties?" I teased, noticing he was supposed to stay outside the door to make sure his mother or anyone else didn’t come shouting at me.

"I had to go to the restroom," he complained, briskly walking after me. I was making my way through the passage to see Emmet when he kept following me.

"You can take a break from here. I’ll be fine when I’m talking with Emmet," I turned around, not realizing how close he was until he stopped when my nose brushed against his chest. I awkwardly stepped back and gestured at him to leave me alone with Emmet.

"How about no? What is it that you have to talk to him about that you can’t do in front of me?" he placed his hands on his waist, making me narrow my eyes a little.

"No! You can squeeze those big buttons all you want, but I won’t leave you alone with him," he said, knowing that was bound to happen. He had probably noticed something between me and Emmet from the way I reacted when Emmet was taken and how Emmet and I always seem to get in trouble together at odd times.

"Fine," I shrugged, trying to convince him nothing was going on. I wasn’t ready to give up everything for a love story yet. I had deep feelings for Emmet, but I was sure my revenge would come first, and my love story with him could wait.

I just hoped he would understand and not act like his brothers.

We made it to his room, and that’s when Emmet came out too. He almost bumped into me before stepping back and flicking my forehead.

"Little birdie," the way he cheerfully greeted me, while tilting his head, made me smile. He was so present and cheerful. The sadness I had been feeling after the attack that night was all gone from just a look at his face.

He probably had no idea how important he had become to me now. _{freёwebnoѵel.com}
