Chapter 116

I couldn’t help but stare at him. My heart was erratic.

Our eyes locked, and he smiled at me. I lay my head on his shoulder, and he caressed my jaw.

“1

Why were you in the pack?” I asked. He was hesitant to answer, and I raised my eyebrows. What could have happened?

“Just … work, baby,” he said. I could feel that he was keeping something from me. I was about to ask when he said,

Cayden lost a tooth,” he was distracting me.

“Did the tooth fairy visit and leave him five dollars?” I asked. My children get excited when they lose their teeth. They do this thing where they stay up to capture the tooth fairy but end up falling asleep. Ellis stiffened, and I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him.

“How much did you put under his pillow?”

Um. I didn’t know it was supposed to be five dollars,”

“It is… At most ten. Now, how much did you put for him?”

He gritted his teeth as if fearing my reaction.

Ellis?” I called in a warning tone.

A hundred dollars?” he confessed. I gaped. We are going to be the most hated parents in their class.

“That one was too depressing for me without you. We had so many memories there,”

We arrived upstairs, and immediately, our kids ran to us. Seumo and Melody were already there.

“Mom, the tooth fairy left me this,” Cayden said, waving the hundred–dollar bill. He was excited, indeed.

‘I’m not taking it from him. Look how happy he is… I’m not a monster, Love,‘ he mind–linked.

‘Coward!‘ I shouted.
