Reclaiming My Broken Luna by Selene Souchon

Chapter 157: Becoming a Father

Killian's POV

I couldn't bring myself to look Giselle in the eye after confessing everything and apologizing for how I had treated her.

Silence fell between us as soon as I finished my words. My heart constricted, and I felt suffocated by the thick tension in the air.

I waited with bated breath for her response until, out of the corner of my eye, she suddenly moved.

My eyes turned back to Giselle, wondering what she was about to do. I watched as Giselle slowly turned to her attendant standing behind her in wait.

Carefully, she handed our son over to the attendant's arms. Then, they all left, giving us privacy and taking the baby with them.

My gaze connected with Giselle's. Now that we were finally alone, I felt more dumbfounded, not knowing what to expect.

Before going inside the room, I had braced myself, anticipating that she wouldn't easily forgive me. I even imagined she would refuse to talk to me, more so, be left inside the room with me.

But Giselle did none of those things. Instead, she met my gaze, and then she grabbed both of my hands, wrapping them with hers.

"Killian," Giselle whispered weakly as she stared into my eyes. "I was never angry with you, and I've never blamed you for anything." Giselle forced a smile on her face, but her eyes betrayed her.
