Let Me Go, My Mafia Husband (Aria and Alessandro) novel Chapter 635

Chapter 635 Refusing Her
*Selena*

I thought he would jump at the opportunity after hearing my proposition, but what happened was the exact opposite of my expectations.

“You’ll get your laptop today,” he said in a dismissive tone, and I was left utterly shocked.

“Are you sure you don’t want anything in return?” I asked, my voice dropping to a teasing whisper as I observed him intently. But he didn’t even glance in my direction.

“I’ve had a long day. I want to rest,” he said, his tone detached, leaving my jaw practically on the floor.

My mate—Alpha King Zander Blake—refused the kiss. Refused me. He didn't know but I might have been willing to offer more than just a kiss if he had pressed.

What was that? Did he hit his head somewhere, or was something seriously wrong with him?

Seeing that his mood wasn’t good, I quietly followed him to the room. Without a word, he entered the bathroom, leaving me alone. I stared at the closed bathroom door for a few moments before walking over to the cupboard, selecting his clothes, and neatly placing them on the bed.

Deciding to give him space, I headed to the kitchen to help the omegas with dinner. On my way, I passed through the hall and noticed Anne with Austin. She was amazing with my son. If there was anyone who could fill my place in Austin’s life, it would be her.

Anne would make a good wife for Zander too, and the thought lingered in my mind. That’s why, despite the tug in my heart to go and spend time with my baby boy, I didn’t interrupt them.

I found Zander’s mother and Blair in the kitchen. As soon as Zander’s mother saw me, she cringed and quickly left, as if I were a plague. Blair sighed and gave me an empathetic smile.

“Don’t mind my mother,” she murmured, coming over to me and whispering in an apologetic tone.

“Of course, don’t worry,” I assured her with a warm smile. I was accustomed to my mother-in-law’s indifference toward me; it was nothing new.

Blair and I got involved in preparing dinner, and the omegas also warmed up upon seeing me there. Though they had almost forgotten me, they still felt a connection with me.

Soon, the warriors and other officers began arriving, gathering in the dining room at their respective tables. Zander and Maddox also came in after a while. Zander was still distant toward me, and I couldn’t understand what I had done wrong. Was entering his study without permission such a big crime that he was still upset with me? Goddess, this Alpha and his mood! I sighed, my eyes lingering on his handsome features as he carefreely talked to his beta, completely unaware of what he was doing to my heart.

After dinner, Maddox approached me and handed me a new laptop. He informed me that I could use the study, but I would need to inform the Alpha beforehand.

Okay?! I could work with that.

Once dinner was over, everyone retired to their rooms. When I entered ours, Zander was already lying on his side, his eyes closed. Letting out a sad sigh, I lay down on my side. Closing my eyes, I silently hoped that by morning, things would be better.
