Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 374

Author’s pov

“A… a woman ? !”Luna Regina’s voice came out as barely more than a whisper, her face draining of color.

She had just gotten off the phone with Alpha Sebastian moments ago, where he’d casually mentioned Cecilia was on vacation.

Now her mother was telling her Alpha Sebastian had brought a woman to Colorado Springs. Her heart practically seized in her chest.

Zaria’s ears perked up beside her, eyes widening with each passing second.

“Yes, a woman,”Mabel confirmed, picking up on her daughter’s shocked tone. “Don’t tell me you had no idea your own son brought someone with him ?”

“I… I truly didn’t,”Luna Regina admitted, her mind spinning.

Desperate for details, she pressed on. “Have you met her ? Is Sebastian letting her stay at the house ? What’s her name ?”

“I haven’t seen her myself,”Mabel replied. “I only know her surname is Moore. ”

Luna Regina went completely blank. Cecilia was in Colorado Springs ? But Alpha Sebastian had just told her she was soaking up sun at some tropical resort. The contradiction made no sense.

Beside her, Zaria’s eyes grew comically wide, practically popping out of her head like a cartoon character.

Sensing Luna Regina’s confusion, Mabel sighed heavily into the phone. “Well, it seems you’re even more in the dark than I am. I’ll let you go. Scarlett and I have things to discuss.”

“Mom !”Luna Regina called out, but Mabel had already ended the call.

Zaria exchanged a look with her mother, reaching for her phone. “I’ll call Sebastian right now.”

Luna Regina quickly snatched the phone from her daughter’s hand. “Don’t be hasty. Something’s off about this whole situation. Let’s not show our cards yet. I’ll talk to your father first.”

“Fine,”Zaria agreed reluctantly.

Luna Regina dialed Alpha Yardley, quickly explaining the strange situation. Her husband, currently deep in negotiations for an important project, responded with distracted reassurance.

“That’s easy enough to solve,”he said soothingly. “Just call Sebastian yourself or wait until we arrive tomorrow to see firsthand what’s going on.”

Luna Regina rolled her eyes at his typical brush-off response before hanging up in frustration.

Zaria watched her mother’s irritation grow. “Maybe I should just call Sebastian after all ? I bet it’s Cecilia at Grandma’s house, and that beach vacation story was complete nonsense.”

Luna Regina considered this for a moment before grabbing her daughter’s arm and pulling her toward the door. “No calls. We’re going to Colorado Springs. Right now.”

Luna Regina grabbed her purse and car keys. She needed to get to Colorado Springs right now and see what Alpha Sebastian was hiding. If word got out about him traveling with another woman, the family’s reputation would be in shambles.

Meanwhile in Colorado Springs, Mabel and Scarlett were finalizing their plans.

“Should we invite Secretary Moore to join us for dinner tonight ?”Scarlett suggested.

Mabel nodded approvingly. “She’s been our guest for several days. Sharing a meal together is the least we can do to show proper hospitality.”

“I’ll send someone to extend the invitation,”Scarlett said.

“Yes, please see to it,”Mabel agreed.

Completely unaware she’d become the focus of family drama, Cecilia had been napping on the third floor.

Harper and Tang were quietly watching a horror movie in her room, keeping watch while she slept.

A knock sounded at the door, waking Cecilia around five in the afternoon.

Tang rose to answer it. When he pulled the door open, the maid on the other side took in his rumpled appearance with obvious surprise.

Her eyes darted past him to see Harper lounging on the sofa and Cecilia just waking up on the bed, all of them looking a bit disheveled.

Her gaze returned to Tang’s strong, youthful frame, and her cheeks instantly reddened.
