The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 172

“Indeed, she is.” My mom said, standing up with a bright smile on her face. I looked up to see her gaze on Lord Shevek, her eyes sparkling.

It was amusing to see the bright smile she wore when a few seconds ago she was crying out her eyes.

“So tell me, what would you like to have?” She asked him

Lord Shevek clasped his hands in front of him and shrugged. “I will have anything you offer.”

They shared some kind of secret look, before my mom giggled and looked away. “I will go prepare breakfast.” She stood there for a moment, unmoving.

“Yes.” Lord Shevek said, his gaze fixed on her face. “You should do that.”

It suddenly looked like I was watching a scene from a movie. They were lost in their own world.

“Mom? Are you alright?” I called out.

“Of course.” She said and turned away. “I will be back.”

Lord Shevek watched her go, not until she was out of the room did he turn to look at me.

I rolled my eyes. Something was obviously brewing. But I couldn’t conclude if that was good or not just yet.

But one thing I was sure of, was that Lord Shevek would have been an amazing father if he had been present in my life. And I had no doubt he would have loved Olivia as well.
