Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 651

Chapter 651 

Nate left the hospital with Lena, and she just assumed they were headed for a hotel. But as soon as they got in the car, he asked, Mind if we go to your place instead?” 

Lena blinked, caught off guard. You’re just trying to see if there’s some guy at my place, aren’t you?” 

Nope,he said

She rolled her eyes. Sure, Jan. Guys and their fragile egos

Before she could call him out, he added, I just don’t want to be treated like every other guy.” 

Lena froze. Well, that shut her up

So, yeahshe caved and brought him back to her apartment

Her place wasn’t exactly Grand Central Station; aside from her parents and Keira, no one ever stopped by. Not like she had anything to hide anyway

When they got upstairs, she unlocked the door but didn’t step inside. Instead, she threw her arms around Nate’s neck. Barefoot now, she realized how much shorter she was. Standing on her tiptoes didn’t help much either

Frustrated, she commanded, Pick me up.” 

Nate obliged. He lifted her easily while she clung to his neck

Nate, let me just clear this up real quickthat whole hotel stunt was a joke, okay? Keira was doing her little drama queen act. Neither of us was with any guy that night. We shared a room, no dudes involved. And for the record, no man has ever set foot in my apartment. If you don’t believe me, take a look around-” 

Mm, I already noticed,Nate said, his eyes casually scanning over her head

Exactly! No man here,Lena said, looking way too pleased with herself

Then who’s that?Nate’s voice cut through her smugness, and before she could process it, a man’s voice came from the living room

Lena, you brought a guy home?” 

Lena whipped around, her heart nearly stopping. Standing right there, bold as day, was a man

Who’s he?Nate asked, his gaze sharpening

Lena’s brain flatlined for a solid three seconds before she practically yelled, Uncle Aaron?! What are you doing here? And how did you even get my passcode?” 

She already knew the answer. Only her mom would pull something like this

Aaron, tall, elegant, and rocking a nononsense vibe, strolled over. His sharp gaze flicked to Nate. You didn’t answer me. Who’s he?” 

Her boyfriend,Nate said smoothly, carrying Lena into the living room and setting her on the couch

Lena shot up from the couch. Uncle Aaron! You show up once in a blue moon, and today you just pop in unannounced? No headsup from you or Mom? Seriously?” 

As if Nate didn’t already have the wrong idea, now her socalled uncle had to walk in and make things worse. Sure, he was her grandparentsadopted son, but with him only being a year older than her, explaining this was going to be a nightmare

Your mom said you haven’t been home in a while and asked me to check on you,Aaron said, calm as ever

Lena blinked, stunned. If Mom was so worried, why didn’t she just come herself? Why send him?‘ 

I’ve just been busy,she said quickly

Aaron’s eyes flicked to Nate. That much is obvious.”
