Pregnant With Alpha’s Genius Twins

#Chapter 217 – Tempers lost

“Are you serious, Evelyn?” he sputters, his eyes going wide. “After all of this? All that we’ve been through?”

“What?” I snap in response, shaking my head so that my hair falls back over my shoulder. “Is it not a legitimate question?”

“No, Evelyn!” He says, his voice raising in anger. “It’s absolutely not!”

“Well, it’s legitimate to me,” I say. “And I think I deserve an answer. How do I know?”

“You know,” he says, taking two angry steps towards me, “because I love you, Evelyn. There’s no space in my mind for anyone else – I couldn’t even begin to think about another woman –“

“All stuff you probably said to Amelia!” I exclaim. Somewhere deep inside me, I know that I’m probably being unfair – that I know the extent of what we feel to each other. But…this has also been in the back of my mind for weeks. Months, if I’m being honest.

Victor tenses his jaw and tightens his lips then, and I know that I’ve got him there. These are all things he certainly said to Amelia, especially when I came on the scene. So how could I truly trust them again?

“She was your mate, Victor,” I say, some of the anger leeching at me as I voice this, my deepest hesitation about our relationship. “You get one of those in a lifetime. And you left your mate for me – which is insane –“

“Evelyn,” he says, shaking his head. “It’s different –“

“How can it be different!” I interrupt, throwing up my hands. “I know that you and Amelia had your problems, and that she was…she was so manipulative, and what she wanted was so contrary to what you want for your life, and that I fit that bill so neatly – but she was your mate, Victor.”

He doesn’t say anything to me and I just shake my head at him.

“Doesn’t that mean anything to you?” I push. “How can I ever compete with that? Did you just…did you just go with me because I fit the image of the wife you want? Because I already had your kids – because…because I want more children? Because you want more too?”

“No, Evelyn,” he says, shaking his head sharply. “It’s more than that – it’s so much more than that.”

“Your mate, Victor!” I exclaim.
