Chapter 67

Summer Frost POV

I’m sorry I didn’t tell you earlier. Wanna come over to my house?” Xander had asked me earlier after he drove me out of my apartment, and I agreed without even thinking about it. I had a lot on my mind and the only thing I wanted was to stay away from home and clear my head.

Aher a long ride, we finally arrived at the said house. It was my first time being here, so I presumed he must’ve gotten it after we separated over

the years.

“What should I offer you?” He asked after he walked me into the s a c i o u s and well furnished living room.

“Water is fine,” I breathed out as I slumped on one of the couches and rubbed my forehead slowly and gently, I felt even better after I left my house, sol was glad I agreed to go with him.

He came back from the kitchen minutes later with a glass of water and handed it to me.

“Thank you.” Imuttered and gulped down everything afterward.

“Are you hungry? What should I make for you? I wasn’t sure you would agree to come here with me, that’s why I didn’t make anything before your arrival I can go to the kitchen and quickly fix you something to eat. Just say the word, and I’ll get to it immediately, I can assure you that Xander wasn’t being like this because he wanted to get my attention or something. This is who he had always been. This is the same way he always treated me back then, He had always been this sweet man right from the onset.

*I’m fine. I’m not hungry,” I only had breakfast all through the day, yet my stomach felt so stuffed up. Maybe because of what happened earlier that made me lose my appetite.

“Are you ok? Did something happen? You don’t look fine,” He looked at me with concern.

“Hmm… I’m fine,” I nodded and turned my face away, trying everything I could to force back the tears that were trying to force their way down my

cheeks.

“You are not fine, Summer. I know you too well, and it’s obvious that you are not. Talk to me… What happened?” He cupped my cheek in his palm and turned my face to look at him, his eyes gazing into mine.

“It’s written all over you that you’re not fine. Talk to me…. What’s wrong?” He insisted. I really needed someone to talk to about the crazy thing! experienced today, I needed someone to rant to, I needed someone to pour out my broken heart to and tell the person how sad I was, but Kander was definitely not who I could do all that with.

“Is this about my Mom? Is this about what-

“Hmm,” He nodded disappointedly.
