After She's Terminal The Alpha Regrets (Elaine and Lucas) novel Chapter 255

Chapter 255

Liam’s father walked down the steps and toward the car. He stopped when his boots crunched in the snow at the bottom.

Elaine didn’t exactly have a good track record with dads. Not only her own, but Lucas‘ as well. She shifted somewhat nervously in place as he approached.

Liam closed the trunk, turning to face him. “Hey, Dad,” he said.

“Liam!” the man said, a smile finally breaking out across his face as he walked over to Liarn and pulled him into a big hug. “Glad you made it back safe. Surprised you didn’t fly in, I would have picked you up at the airport.”

“I know. Thought I’d show Elaine the drive up. It’s pretty this time of year,” Liam said, setting the suitcases down. Elaine noticed how he’d lied about that reason.

They didn’t fly because she hated planes.

Liam’s father turned to her. “And you must be the famous Elaine,” he said.

“Famous? Don’t know about that,” Elaine admitted, rubbing the back of her neck as he came up to her.

“Remus,” he introduced himself. “Glad to have you here.”

“Glad to be here,” Elaine replied, holding her hand but Remus came in for a hug instead. She blinked in surprise. 1

Remus stepped back, patting her on the shoulder before turning and walking back up the steps. “Well, come on in! Got the fireplace going and can whip up something to eat real quick.”

“Thanks, Dad,” Liam said, looking at Elaine. He motioned to the steps with his head. “After you.”

Elaine walked up the steps carefully, and the trio entered the foyer. A wall of warmth greeted her, and she sighed out in relief. The interior of the house was all dark woods, accented with deep forest greens and pale cream.

She noticed several antlers on display on opposite walls of the foyer. The main staircase flanked the space on either side, leading up to a second floor.

The servant from outside had just gotten their suitcases to the top.

“Let me give you a tour of the house first!” Remus announced, leading the way past the foyer. “The main living room is just here, and the kitchen right over here.”

He walked briskly, with a small hop in his step. Elaine couldn’t help but smile at his energy. He seemed excited.
