His Sweet Little Mate novel (Abby and Micah) novel Chapter 129

“You got a letter from where?” A distinct frown could be seen on Micah’s face when he asked Abby this question.

“My father,” Abby said, as she shrugged her shoulders with an expression that portrayed ‘I know, right?.’ “I’m positive that it is his own handwriting.”

The girl handed over the said letter to her mate, who didn’t waste another second before scanning the few words that were scribbled on either side of the cheap excuse of a paper.

As soon as Micah returned to their guest bedroom, where his mate was waiting to have dinner with him, Abby dropped this news on him.

“Before anything, I need to tell you something really important,” Abby said to the king, when Micah told her that their dinner would be brought to their room, even though his mate didn’t make any requests that might involve herself avoiding the kitchen again.

The girl didn’t know why Micah suggested eating inside, but it worked well in her favor, only Abby wasn’t really thinking about how to avoid people from her pack tonight.

Like she said to herself, there were far more important things to take care of before wallowing in her resentment and annoyance. So she presented her mate with the truth immediately, because she still couldn’t decide if she should ignore this letter altogether or not.

On the other hand, the king couldn’t help himself as he scoffed at the three sentences that screamed that it was all just a trap, a very poor one at that. “It stinks like a trap.”

“I too think so, because Hanna said they both willingly joined the rogues,” Abby recalled. “There was no way they were torturing him three months later, like they just discovered who he was.”

“You think he was working for them?” The king asked his mate when he noticed this deep frown between her brows.

“Or with them,” Abby breathed out, her shoulders sagging in the next second. She didn’t want to guess what led to what at this moment, and seeing her deflate, Micah pulled her into a hug.

“What do you think we should do about this?” Abby asked him a while later.

“I need to think about it a bit,” Micah said, because no matter what Ryan was still her father, even though he was the very person who made his daughter live in misery.

He exiled them in hopes he could cut them out of her life completely, but they still managed to worm back into her thoughts. He needed to make sure the problem with them was dealt with with no negative setbacks this time around, so he decided to think really hard about it.

“Okay, you do the thinking,” Abby said, as she tightened her arms around his waist. She really didn’t have the energy right now to spare any for her father.

But then, she frowned when the king pulled back a little before holding her at arm’s length. “What hap…”

Micah didn’t let her finish her question as he leaned in for a sudden kiss that confused her even further. Because this kiss was so different from all the times he pressed his lips to hers. He was being exceptionally gentle, even though he was nothing but gentle with her before.

He only parted with her lips when he felt her relax completely, where her strained neck muscles gradually loosened under his tender caressing. But the look that he gave her afterward was unnerving, as if he could see right through her, and the words that left his lips next proved the same.

“Little one, you are keeping something from me.” Micah was holding her head with both palms now, as he looked her in the eyes.

“I’m not,” Abby denied immediately, even though she stiffened a little as soon as he blurted out his thoughts.

It was really a subtle reaction, but only proved Micah was right. And with him holding her so closely, it was impossible for him not to notice it.

“Little one, don’t do this. Did you forget that we should be open with each other no matter what?” Micah wasn’t angry or annoyed that Abby tried to lie, he was just worried. So he was very patient with her as he pressed his lips to her mouth that kept opening and closing, as the girl debated over her thoughts internally.

“There is really nothing,” Abby said and saw how Micah sighed in the next moment.

But he was already used to this. When did his mate cave in without making him persuade her at lengths? And if there was someone who could never run his patience thin, it was this girl alone. He could never lose his cool with her, so he resigned to his fate and pulled her into his lap as he plopped on the sofa.
