Chapter 71

*****Erika's POV*****

I had chosen that over the throne and sofa in the big room that could easily hold fifty to sixty persons. Every part of this mansion was big and luxurious.

"No I'm good." He opposed.

"I like to offer my guests something to wet their throat, especially if they have come a long way to see me. So please, allow me do this, Alpha Robertson." I insisted, wearing my formal smile.

"Thank you." I nodded too. I turned to the maid who had been patiently standing beside me waiting for his response. "Go get him a cup of...is coffee good? Or you need something strong?" I knew he liked to drink whiskey but I was no longer his wife to decide those choices for him.

I would not assume a position I had been chased from. Humiliated and embarrassed beyond my imagination. I willed those memories away.

"Whiskey is fine, if you're not bothered by it." He said.

I frowned a bit. Why would I be bothered by his choice of drink? He meant nothing

dissolved and the marriage annulled.

I turned to the maid. "Bring
