Chosen By My Mate's Father-in-law novel Chapter 35

Chapter 35: Chapter 35: The Tiny Wolf

Worry crossed Isabella’s face when she saw that I was rubbing away tears from my eyes. She stood from her seat and laid a warm, comforting hand on my shoulder.

“Thank you so much for your help back there,” I said, wiping the last of the wetness from my cheeks. “What are you doing here?”

The pack prison was no place for someone with such high status as her.

“I’m glad I could help,” Isabella replied. “I was out on an early morning run, and I saw your car driving by. I came over to check on how you’re doing.” She paused. There was sympathy shining through her warm eyes. “How’s your father? Is he alright?”

I swallowed and simply shook my head. My dad’s words kept running through my head on repeat.

‘Jasmine, I don’t think they will ever let me out of here.’

I opened my mouth to confide in her. There was a strong desire to tell someone and help release a little of the burden his words had weighed me down with.

But I closed it when Elliot’s face shot to the forefront of my mind. I couldn’t risk confiding in Isabella. I knew that she would never knowingly reveal sensitive information about me to him, but they were an engaged couple. Who knew what might come up in conversation?

“I’m sorry. I know that we had a tutoring session scheduled for this morning, but I should go home and check on my mom. She’s having a hard time with...well, with everything going on.” My phone vibrated in my pocket, and when I saw the message from Mindie, my heart dropped. “Excuse me for one moment,” I said to Isabella.

My eyes quickly scanned the text, and my shoulders slumped in relief. My mom was in bed, asleep. She had eaten some bread. I should probably just let her rest for now.

“We can postpone Michelle’s tutoring for today,” Isabella suggested when I looked at her again.

“Actually, that was my friend. She was just letting me know that my mom is resting now. So, I would love to still come over if that’s okay,” I said quickly.

Since Mindie was staying with my mom, I didn’t want to reschedule the session even though I had a rough morning. Frankly, I needed the money, and I didn’t want word to get back to Elliot that I was canceling sessions and risking him trying to use it against me.

At this point, I wouldn’t put anything past him.

“Let me give you a ride to the house,” Isabella offered. “You can leave your car in the parking lot, and I’ll drop you back off when you’re done.”

“Oh, are you sure? I don’t want to impose. I’m sure you’re really busy...” I trailed off.

Isabella waved her hand. “Nonsense, come on.”

We walked outside, and I lifted my hand to shield my eyes from the bright sun. Isabella led the way to her bright blue Maserati. Her guards slipped into a sleek back car that was parked beside hers.

“Thank you for the ride,” I said as I buckled my seatbelt.

“You’re welcome.” She started the car and pulled out of the prison parking lot. The sleek black car followed directly behind us. “It’s the least I could do," Isabella continued. “I want to thank you for being so kind to Michelle. I think that you’re really good for her...and I’m not just talking about her schoolwork. You’re the only one who seems to be able to break through that tough exterior of hers.”

My cheeks grew warm from her compliment.

“I’m thankful for this job. I enjoy spending time with Michelle and helping her learn...” A glint of silver hanging from the rearview mirror caught my eye, making me forget what I was saying.

I shifted in my seat. “I know that you’re engaged, but...are you serious about Elliot?” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
