Chapter 82

Avery

The day I would see Sadie again finally came. I had already texted her about it and she picked the venue we would meet at.

She picked a restaurant that was a bit far from the Barrington’s mansion but I did not mind. I wasn’t a kid and I was an omega warrior. I can protect myself from most harms.

Sadie asked me to bring my kids to see her but I disagreed.

I was not really feeling very comfortable with Sadie right now and I felt like her intentions were not pure at all. I would be dumb to bring my precious pups to her.

Bringing my kids to see her would never happen.

I arrived at the restaurant Sadie picked and I instructed the driver to go back to the Barrington’s mansion.

I would call him later to pick me up. I did not want him to wait for me here.

I don’t know how long my talk with Sadie would last.

After that period of unease I felt two days ago, I did not feel anything like that again.

Still, I did not give up my wariness.

I tried to brainstorm all possible reasons for my unease but I came up blank.

Sadie was my breakthrough point. My gut was telling me that I would find a clue when I observe Sadie very well.

I trusted my gut so I treat this outing with cautiousness.

This restaurant had private rooms for guests that did not want to eat in the public area. The waiter led me to the private room Sadie paid for.

I felt like the fates between me and private rooms was as bad as it can get.

I noticed Sadie’s hatred for me in a private room I booked for us to catch up on the times we missed.

Madam Romanos came to attack me verbally in the private room I was having a dinner date with Dante.

Regardless of my tumultuous feeling about private rooms and all the things that were happening in general, I walked in with a smile.

Sadie was sitting down and she was dressed in the usual clothes she used to wear when we were both runts in our packs.

She had a smile on her face too.

For a moment, I was transported back to my time in Silver Crescent Pack with Sadie as my anchor and friend.

Warmth traveled through me.

I shook my head to clear the nostalgia.

I wasn’t here to reminisce. I am here for business.
