Ditched Cheating Alpha, I Led My Daughter to Life's Peak novel Chapter 130

"Yeah. Because I don't know how you feel about Onai," he says.

"Well I could say the same about Suzie," I point out.

"Well do you like Onai? Because you sure do ask about him a lot."

"When did she ask about him?" Axel looks at me suspiciously.

Oml. He's creating new arguments. I look at Carson. "Don't change the subject. Do you like Suzie?"

"I don't like Suzie," he says.

"Well I don't like Onai," I say firmly.

"Well how was I supposed to know that with him butt naked in your bedroom?" Carson asks.

"How was I supposed to know that you didn't like Suzie with her fondling your arm?" I ask.

He gives me a hard look. "Because I've done nothing but assure you of how much I care about you. From day one, I've been trying to be with you, and I've stuck through thick and thin even when you were trying to give me the cold shoulder for Axel." He looks away from me. "I've been chasing and chasing and it feels more like you've been running away from me than anything. But for the record, I'm sorry I let Suzie touch me like that." He moves back in his seat. "It won't ever happen again."

I nod. I look down at my hands. It takes me a while to form my words. "At first, like I told you before, I thought you were a fuckboy. I didn't want to give into your antics and risk getting myself hurt or something." I look at him from the corner of my eyes.

He's watching me.

I don't look away. "But even after you cleared that up and proved yourself, I guess I still wasn't that clear about how I felt about you... How I feel about you." I try to ignore the fact that Axel is right beside me and Aiden's a few feet away. I wonder if I can take what I said before back and ask them to leave the room. I'd like some privacy, forget a joint relationship. Some things just need to be discussed alone.
