The Unwanted Bride Of Atticus Fawn Chapter 4

~ATTICUS~

“There you are, son,” my grandfather, Gerard Fawn, says as he joins me out at the lake.

This was my favorite part of my home. I would always come back here and stare at the view—especially in times like this when I had a lot on my mind.

“Are you not speaking to me as well?” he asks as he watches the lake along with me.

“That depends,” I say. “Did you also have anything to do with this wedding?”

He smiles, “the wedding was your mother’s idea, but I had nothing against it. I know you will not agree with us, but Autumn suits our family more than Anya does. Besides, your brothers will be there for her. It’s unfair that all three of you got the same mate, and it’s been tearing this family apart. This wedding is exactly what we need. I believe that a woman like Autumn will help you move on from Anya. Eventually, she would have had to choose one of you. It couldn’t be the three of you for the rest of her life. We are saving you the heartache of the future.”

“You say it like you know she wouldn’t have chosen me to spend the rest of her life with,” I note.

He shrugs his shoulder, “she would have chosen one of you. I’m not optimistic you wouldn’t be her first choice. I’m just telling you that marrying Autumn will make it easier for your brothers and you.”
