My Billionaire Please Became 79

hapter 0079

Alaric's POV

"She should be here any minute now..." I hear my wolf Grey's voice in my head, his teasing tone readily apparent.

"You can stop that now," I say to him internally.

"What fun would that be?" Grey barks out a chuckle.

He's been tormenting me all morning, mocking me. I have a meeting, a perfectly legitimate meeting, at the DarkWood hospital this morning. A very important meeting, in fact.

It just so happens that Cara is also expected to be here at the hospital at this day and time for Mia's treatment.

It's not like those two appointments are related

It's just coincidence.

"Is that why you checked Mia's appointment time not once but in twice before setting the time for your own meeting? Because it was just coincidence?" Grey teases.

"I liked you better when you refused to talk to me," I say to him gruffly.

Grey's laugh fades from my mind as I pull out my phone, trying to look like I have a reason to keep standing in the hospital lobby area.

Trying to look like I'm not waiting for Cara.

Because I'm not waiting for her.

Her husband made it clear in the text that he sent to me from her phone that I should avoid her.

But she's our closest ally's princess. Why shouldn't I wait for her?

I couldn't quite figure out my feelings, but I did it anyway.

Just then, the automatic hospital doors open. I watch as Cara pushes little Mia through the doorway. Their matching bright red hair is tied into matching single braids. The matching hair was Mia's idea, I'd wager.
