Chapter 80
The next day. Althea woke Jasmine up to have her breakfast and the girl ate her meal well, she looked sail and this made Althea asked her about why she looked so down this morning
“Emis Dada, who, dada is not here““Jasmine parsed her lips. “Tiada don’t love me anymore?”
Althea hugged her baby and then kissed both of her cheeks. “Of course, dada loves you. He loves you so much. Jasmine”
“I jasmine be a good girl, will dada come back?”
Althea didn’t know how to feel about this, obsly that was a lie, because she didn’t even know whether Alex would come to get her and Jasmine or not, knowing the situation in the kingdom
But she couldn’t see her daughter cry, thus she nodded her head
yes, dada is busy night now, but once his business finished, he will come to get us” Althea really wanted to believe that. She wanted to believe her own lie and had the strength to actually believe that.
“Really? Dada loves momma, right?”
bviously Althea kissed both of her cheeks again. “Now, you need to be a good girl and then finished with your okay
“Okay” Jasmine munched on her meal happily
After that everyone went into their camages. There were two carriages for them, one carriage for Abigail, Brian and Willow, while the other was occupied by Killian, Althea and Jasmine.
Killian sat across from Althea and Jasmine and he watched how talkative Jasmine was. He wondered if Althea was this talkative when she was little, he needed to ask Brian about that, because obviously, Killian was not that curios as a childi.
However, hearing how jasmine talked and asked a lot of questions brought a smile to his lips.
“Yes, there is a fish in the river,” Killian replied to one of Jasmine’s questions when she pointed at the river that the just passed
Jasmine looked at him, she was intrigued. “What fish? Can you catch fish?”
“Do you want to catch fish?” Killan asked, he smiled brilhantly at his daughter.
She was adventurous and full of curiosity, which made Killian was very happy because his daughter had grown up so well. despite the situation they were in
“Come, I will teach you how to catch a fish.”
However, Jasmine looked at Killian’s stretched out arms with hesitation before she turned her head and then looked at her mother, asking for Althea’s permission..
“Momma, can I go to catch fish?” she then added with her adorable tone. “Please?”
Althea wanted to reject the request. She didn’t like the idea that Jasmine and Killian spent their time together, but she couldn’t bring herself to reject her when she didn’t know anything about the bad blood between her and Killian.
Chapter 80
And she felt bad because she had been a good girl during the whole trip here. She didn’t make a fuss and Althea knew how much Jasmine loved to be in nature,
Because: Althea didn’t answer immediately, Killian thought that she would refuse and he was ready to console Jasmine, telling her that she could catch fish next time. There were plenty of times and chances to do it.
However, to Killian’s surprise, Althea agreed to that.
“Okay,” Althea said softly.
Killian then asked his warriors to stop the carriage and they stop near the river. “Come here. I will help you to get down.”
Killian then hugged his daughter to get down from the carriage, but when Althea was about to come out, she ignored his stretching hand and then got down by herself.
People at the other carriage looked confused, but when they saw Killian started to play with Jasmine in the river, they understood.
“Thank you for letting the alpha to be close with his daughter,” Ronan said, he was one of the warriors. “He has been very miserable ever since you left the pack.”
“He deserved that.” Althea replied coldly. She didn’t even try to be sweet with her answer.
Ronan was slightly taken aback with that answer, he knew Althea, though they were not close, but he didn’t expect such cold answer would come out of her lips, but the woman didn’t seem to care what he was thinking about her, as she watched Jasmine was playing in the river with Killian.
I looked like they were having a good time, but in Althea’s mind, she hoped Alex would be here. She didn’t want Jasmine forget about him, but just in case just in case that he would never get them and this was the life that she had to live. it would be better if Jasmine didn’t remember hin and have less memories of him, because it would help her to cope up.
I broke Althea’s hear when she saw how Jasmine was crying this morning, because she missed her dada and she couldn’t imagine what kind of lie and empty promises that she had to give to her until she finally realized that her dada wouldn’t
comme
She wished she was wrong, but she knew she couldn’t hold her breath on this matter. This was way more complicated than she was thinking.
“I know that you are hurt, Althea, Ronan spoke again after a few moment of silence. “But, try to open your heart and you will be able to see how much the alpha loves you. He tried to redeem his mistake and atone to his sin, please, don’t punish him more than this. You don’t know what kind of hell that he has gone through to get to you.”
Althea thed her head, she looked at Ronan, her expression didn’t change when she replied to him. “Do you even have any idea what kind of hell that I have to go through in his hand for the mistake that I didn’t even do?”
Ronan opened his mouth, but there was no word that he could think of to answer that question. H
was speechless.
