Chapter 78
Brandon’s POV
We broke the kiss when we were sort of breath.
I looked at her face after kissing her; she was breathing heavily, partly opening her mouth and closing her eyes.
She looked like heaven, but I was a devil who deserved hell, not heaven.
Even after knowing everything, I couldn’t stop myself from staying near her like a bee near a flower.
I picked her up in my arms and made her sit on the edge of the bathtub, not caring that my clothes were also getting wet.
I turned around to grab a towel for her.
I saw her removing her top while I wasn’t able to make a decision about whether I should leave or stay.
I wanted to leave, and I didn’t want to leave too.
Thankfully, she didn’t kick me out of the washroom.
After that night in Paris, tonight, I was seeing her soft skin under her clothes.
“Towel?
“Huh?
“Towel?
”, She said, pointing to something that was in my hand.
“The thing in your hand.
“Yeah!
I was going to give this to you.
”, I mumbled by passing the towel to her.
“Here are your clothes.
”, I pointed out and quickly left the washroom because the longer I would stay there, there was higher the chance of losing control over my body.
I kept waiting for her outside the washroom.
I couldn’t leave before tucking into bed.
After a while, she walked out of the washroom slowly.
Seeing her speed, I picked her up in my arms and took her to bed, and laid her there carefully.
“Do you need anything?
“No.
We heard a knock on the door before Bruce walked into the room with the medicines.
“How are you feeling now, Sufi?
Sufi?
This Bruce seriously had a death wish.
“Much better than before.
Thank you.
”, she replied.
“How did you come to know that p>
”, She didn’t complete her question because she knew that he would have guessed the rest of the question.
“Oh, that’s because I came to check on Caroline, wondering if she is fine or not.
”, That bastard bluntly lied.
“That’s so sweet of you, Henry.
Thank you for caring for my daughter like your own.
”, She said with a smile.
“Remember, Love is thicker than blood?
”, He grinned.
“Here, I got medicines for you because I care for you, unlike those who didn’t give a damn.
”, he added.
Okay!
Now, it was final that he was no longer my best friend.
I was going to break all my ties with him.
“I can smell blood.
Are you on periods?
” he asked, on which Sophia looked away, silently answering YES for his answer.
“Wait, I will get a hot water bag and turmeric milk for you.
”, he said after giving her the medicine and quickly dashed out of the room.
Wow, he was using all the information that I gave to him.
I remembered accidentally telling him that Sophia needed extra care and pampered when she was on periods when I was leaving the office early.
He asked for the details so that he would be prepared for his mate in case she would be a human when his time would come, and here he was trying all those things on my wife.
Once he left, I looked at Sophia and had a smile on her lips.
“What’s so funny?
” I asked, getting annoyed.
“Nothing.
He is funny.
I stood on my feet to leave because I would end up killing my best friend, no, my ex-best friend, if I would stay a minute longer.
“You won’t stay here?
“No.
“Are you going to visit us tomorrow?
“I have a lot of pending work to do, and by visiting here, I don’t want anyone to get suspicious about me.
”, I replied truthfully.
But I knew that I couldn’t stay away from Caro or her for longer.
“Moreover, I don’t think you didn’t need my presence when you have your funny best friend here.
And my ex-best friend.
“He is funny because he was lying bluntly even though he knew that I already knew the truth.
”, She pointed out on which I narrowed my eyes at her.
“I know who can enter my room to check on Caroline or me.
So, it meant her words were for me, not for him?
But as far as I remembered, she was pissed and angry at me till dinner time, and now, she didn’t look like that?
What changed?
I wanted to ask, but it was already too late.
Without saying a word, I left from there.
While I was leaving, I saw Iris standing outside the room and smoking.
“Good night, Iris.
“You stayed here longer than usual.
“I p>
“You should focus on finding Abby and getting back with her because if she was Hardin’s mate, then she was also your mate.
”, She said, on which I didn’t say anything.
She walked toward me and blew smoke on my face.
I gave him an irritated look at that.
“On;y Bruce is not the one who can see everything.
Even I can see that you’re having a hard time dealing with her.
If you’re having any problem, then I can deal with her on my own.
“You won’t do anything like that, Iris.
I will do that on my own.
”, I warned her.
“You’re my one family left who is related to blood.
I won’t blink an eye if you dare to harm Caroline or Sophia.
”, I added.
In no time, she grabbed my neck, and the color of her eyes changed, showing that her wolf was surface.
