108 –Trying To Break My Marriage

Madeline:

“Oh, so you are his Royal Beta’s daughter. Got it,” Sawyer said to Kaylee as we were taking a stroll.

For the past five minutes, Sawyer had been very talkative.

That did not seem too good to me.

I mean, the way he had invited them and started speaking was automatically a big concern for me.

Throughout the time, I could tell Graham did not want to communicate, or at least, he did not want his wife to keep going on, but she ignored all his attempts to pull her away.

I noticed several times that he tried to get her attention.

Even at times, he told her that he was not in the mood to take a walk right now.

By this time, it had been ten minutes, Sawyer would ask questions, and Kaylee would go on and on explaining.

“And you know what? When Madeline came back, I was so scared. I looked at my husband and said, ‘I hope she is not back for you p>

Those words suddenly jolted me back to reality and out of my thoughts.

I stopped dead in my tracks and looked at her. She noticed and stopped along with the others.

“What are you saying?” Graham nudged her, his eyes trying to make contact so he could let her know she had overstepped.

“What? I was just saying–Did I say something wrong?” As expected, she started acting really clueless.

“It’s alright. I trust my wife. I know she is not back for anyone. I mean, she never even mentioned any of these friends, so it’s fine,” Sawyer spoke up to ease the tension.

But I knew it was just his attempt to calm things for now, later, he would use it against me.

“Okay, don’t make me feel bad. I was honestly just talking. I mean, Madeline used to have a crush on Graham. She used to write diaries and entries about him. So of course, I was a little worried when she returned p>

Then it seemed like Kaylee’s true intention behind insisting on taking a stroll with us was exposed p>

My fists clenched, and my eyes moved to Graham in complaint before I looked back at her.

I did not even have the courage to look into Sawyer’s eyes. That could be done later.

Right now, I needed to respond to her properly.

Since she had already ruined it for me, I decided to ruin her night too. I knew it was petty.

I was a mother of three, I should not have behaved this way. But sometimes, people just push you over the edge.

“Well, it’s not like he didn’t like me. I mean, by the end of our friendship, before I left, he was also quite touchy with me p>

That was all I said, just to irk her, and I noticed how her cheesy smile, the one she had been giving us after she thought she had ruined my relationship with Sawyer, started to fade away.

She snapped her neck to look at her husband, who had been watching my face in silence.

I did not see a look that told me he was upset.

Actually, he looked very confident, probably even happy that I had spoken out.

“And now, you two can keep walking. We’ll go back home, ” I said as I turned around and walked past Sawyer.

Sawyer, who Kaylee thought would instantly snap at me and bombard me with questions, chuckled a little.

“Have a great rest of the day,” he commented.

If Kaylee thought she could come between us, she had no clue what kind of man Sawyer was.

He could surprise her with his unpredictability.

I could hear Kaylee almost raising her voice at Graham, asking him if what I said was the truth, while I went inside the mansion.

The minute I stepped in and the door shut, Sawyer grabbed my hand and pushed me against the wall.

He held my hands pinned against it.

Then he leaned over, stretching his legs back so that his body hunched down and his face was level with mine.

“So you had quite the suitors here,” he commented.

Of course, he could not yell at me for anything, especially when it came to loyalty.

He wasn’t loyal himself. And because he had also said that he wasn’t a jealous type, it wasn’t like I was cheating on him now.

It was in the past. Whatever Kaylee said was in the past.

He could not possibly make me feel bad about it or force me to explain it to him.

“Let me go, Sawyer,” I said, but not in a threatening way.

“Where is the baby daddy of your children?” And then the question arrived.

I clenched my fists, and he noticed.

He straightened his back, still holding my hands against the wall, but pulled his body closer.

I felt his lips brushing my cheek before he moved them back to my ear.

“Is he one of them?” he whispered in my ear, and my body broke out in goosebumps.

“No,” I uttered hopelessly.

“Hmm. Well, it seems like I’ve got a lot of competition here,” he continued whispering in my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

“Kids, look! Your parents are here p>

As he was about to do something reckless, Nina arrived with the kids, and both of us jolted back.

At least I pushed him back.

I did not want to engage in activities in front of my kids that were inappropriate and too mature for their little

minds.

“Mommy, I had a perfect dream!” Gina said, dancing up and down.

I was so excited to hear about it because it had been so long since one of my kids had a good dream, the sickness had been affecting them.

However, before she could respond, there was a knock on the door.

Sawyer, already next to it, opened it effortlessly, letting in my half–sister without any prior notice.

The minute the door opened, she stormed in, holding a huge tray in her hand.

“This is just a little bit, but I will come back with dinner tonight,” she said cheerfully, hurrying into her words before even introducing herself to Sawyer.
