Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Grave mistake (1)

"I thought you wouldn’t be coming home. Did you have a good day?" Cassandra asked, waiting to take off Gabriel’s coat. "I will have dinner warmed up for you."

Gabriel walked by Cassandra, taking off his coat by himself. "I have already eaten and I don’t want to be disturbed. There is a lot of work for me to do now."

"They will want you to rest. Who will help the town if you tire yourself out?" Cassandra asked.

"I have already rested when I could. I said that I did not want to be disturbed, so I expect that you will follow what I said. You must learn to listen instead of pushing to get your way. There is work I must finish, so go to bed without me," said Gabriel.

Cassandra found it hard to do as Bryce instructed her to do. How could she not want to kill Gabriel when he started to speak to her this way?

"I thought about what you said and I think it is time we had a child. We’ve been married long enough to start planning for one. The room to the left of the second floor is big enough for it," Cassandra said, knowing she had him when he stopped walking.

Gabriel turned to face Cassandra. "You must think I am a fool. Did you truly think it would work for you to dangle a child before me and that it would all be better? I know you are still hesitant to have a child with me. Until you see it was wrong to lie, do not speak to me."

What would she say next? That she wanted to be a vampire?

"I am being honest now that I want to have a child with you. I had my doubts because I lost my mother so early on that I feared how I would be as a mother. You have also found your place in this town while I am still the woman who stole you-"

"Do not try to make me feel sorry for you with this again," Gabriel said, raising his voice as he approached Cassandra, but he then stopped to keep some space between them. "You have used it one too many times, and now, it does not affect me. You are Gabriel Valors’ wife. You have found your place."

Why Cassandra kept trying to toy with his emotions confused Gabriel. Cassandra was not the same woman he met during the war. He could not trust her like he once did before, and he did not yet understand what had changed.

"I haven’t found my place amongst the women here. For some strange reason, they think I would steal their husbands when it is not true. How could we have a child when the mother is not yet accepted? I don’t want our child to be ridiculed," said Cassandra.

"Good. Then you shouldn’t speak of a child simply to calm my anger. You are not ready to be with child, and until you apologise for your lies, you are not my wife in my eyes. I will not live with a liar," Gabriel said, hoping this would open her eyes.

"I am the liar?" Cassandra laughed.

It was too funny when the man clinging to the title of hero said this to her. She knew just how Gabriel became the hero. It wasn’t of his own doing, and he certainly told the story differently.
