Hellbound With You novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709 Jerk

Zeke had gingerly but with much relief, placed Alexis back into the baby's mother's – Abi's – arms and then turned to face Alex.

"We'll be leaving now." He said and with a wide grin, Alex patted his back and whispered in his ear.

"Next time I see you, I hope you won't be this stoic anymore. And most of all… to be in love." He then waggled his brows at Zeke.

Zeke's face remained deadpan. "I hope your son won't cause you too much trouble. He's your son after all."

"Well, if one day he ends up becoming uncontrollable and you still remain that the stoic man that you are and still unmarried and without any children, I will just ship him off to you to settle." Alex smirked at him, and Zeke's gaze sharpened again. "You're their uncle now. And uncles, especially the unmarried and childless ones, have the great and honoured responsibility of taking care of their nieces and nephews whenever they run into troubles. Am I right, Lucas?" Alex winked at Lucas and Lucas agreed with Alex by nodding his head enthusiastically.

When the two men finally left the hospital, Alex returned to Abi's side.

He sat next to her. "Are you feeling alright, my love?" he asked, his voice mellow and soothing – a complete contrast with the playful tone he took with Zeke earlier.

Abi smiled. "I'm fine. I think we should be able to go home now, Alex."

"Are you sure?"

"Very sure."

"Alright, my love. We'll go home very soon." He said and kissed Abi's forehead lovingly. "Thank you, Abi for making me the happiest man in this world. I love you." He then ensured the twins were secure in their bassinets beside Abi's bed before going off happily to settle the discharge procedures, eager to head home with his newly expanded family.

…

Last night.

Alicia had a hard time tracking down Zeres' whereabouts as that man had made sure to hide himself so well that no amount of summoning on the crystal ball could give her hints on where she would be able to find him at all. He had grown so powerful to hide himself from her and even from Lilith.

Thankfully, Alicia had found Kyle while looking for Zeres. Even though she could not communicate with the young man, Alicia did not want to read the young man's mind. So, she opted to go through the memories of other guards who were with him. And that was how she had found out about Zeres' hideout.

When she arrived at the place, Alicia was amazed. She found herself in a luxurious apartment located on the highest floor of the building.

Somehow, Alicia did not expect that Zeres would be found living in such a modern place with conveniences and luxuries. Was Ezekiel the one who gave him this apartment to live in? Or was it his choice to get this place himself? She had somehow expected Zeres to be living in an ancient house which was only slightly modernized, but never in her wildest dreams would she expect him to be found in a very modern one like this. But where was he?

Alicia was standing by the floor to ceiling window overlooking the large and lively city when she heard the door to the penthouse swung open.

She whipped her head back. Only to find Zeres entering the door… only that there was

someone else with him. It was a beautiful human girl.
