Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 612

Austyn was right; there was nothing he could do to help

On the one hand was Austyn’s wife who, from what Jesse had seen over the past few months, was rapidly becoming the love of 

of his life

On the other was his mother’s life

No one could make that choice for Austyn 

All Jesse could do was hand over the Johnnie Walker

Alcohol was not a solution, but at least it offered a temporary

rescape

Kira came out of the bathroom

She had been making increasingly frequent trips to the loo ever since her pregnancy

she checked the time

It was two minutes past ten pin

Austyn was not home yet 

Work must have held him up

She fell backwards onto the bed and sighed

Austyn must be under a lot of stress recently

His mother was severely ill and had less than a month to live

Yet he couldn’t just abandon work and ignore his thousands of employees 

It would take superhuman strength for him to carry on and not collapse

Kara’s heart went out to him 

She wished there was something she could do, some way she could lessen his burden 

But she had zero training in either medicine or business

Not for the first time, Kira wished she were smarter 

She almost jumped out of her skin when a loud banging came fi 

from downstalt 

Blissful Ignorance 

Elsie was staying at the hospital with Charlotte 

Kira was inthe house alone

Who could be knocking on the door at ten o’clock at night

It wasn’t Austyn, for sure

He had a key

Kita got dressed in a hurry and dashed downstairs, armed with her phone in one hand and Elsie’s milling pin in the other 

The pounding on the door had not ceased in the meanwhile

Who’s there?She stood behind the door

She tried to look through the peephole but it was too dark outside to see

It’s me!Jesse shouted, Open up!‘ 

De Chase?Kira set down the rolling pin and twisted the doorknob. “What are you doing here?” 

Give me a hand.Jesse had one arm flung over Austyn’s shoulder and the other around his waist

Austyn’s head was bowed
