Sorry I'm Mated To The Commander novel Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Chapter 175

Layla looked at Nolan, standing right in front of her, looking totally stunned.

Layla pressed her lips together. “Nolan, wait a second. I need to take a call.”

Layla turned and took a couple of steps to the side, then asked Zaa to patch her through to November immediately.

November picked up right away and quickly told her how Krish had exposed their secret to everyone.

“Sorry, Layla. I really didn’t expect him to find out about us. He couldn’t wait to announce to the world that I married a

commoner.

“Every queen before me has always come from a noble family, and he’s using this to make sure I never get a shot at the throne,” November said.

Layla was silent for a moment.

Honestly, that was exactly why Atlas had refused to divorce her in the first place.

But as time went on and Atlas spent more and more time as November, Layla and November grew closer and closer.

Neither of them ever brought it up again.

Layla stopped insisting on a divorce, and November stopped pushing to make their relationship public.

But no one would’ve thought Krish would be the one to mess up that delicate balance between them.

Layla hardly ever cursed, but right now she couldn’t help thinking, ‘Krish is such a dumbass!’

Neither Leilani nor Atlas gave a damn about that throne. But Krish just kept pushing and pushing.

‘Doesn’t he realize he’s just pushing Leilani and Atlas so hard, he might make them want to go against him?’ Layla thought.

Layla was silent for a while, and November, sounding a bit uneasy on the other/end, asked, “Layla, you’re not mad at me, are you? If you are, just yell at me.”

Layla sighed, “Why would I yell at you? If anyone deserves it, it’s Krish. So, what’s the situation now?”

November replied, “My father called me back urgently to get the wedding sorted, and now he’s leaving the whole Holy Gate situation on Meridia for Krish to handle.”

Layla caught on right away. “So he’s trying to create a diversion and get two things done at once? Either he really wants the Holy Gate, or maybe he’s secretly connected to it somehow.”

“You’re sharp as ever, Layla. I actually suspect Krish is involved with the Holy Gate somehow. So I’ll pretend to go along with the wedding, but I’ll keep investigating behind the scenes,” November said.

Layla nodded, muttered a few curses about Krish, then said, “Alright, let’s talk more when you get back.”

“Alright, I should be there in about six hours. Let’s meet at the manor?” November said.

That meant he’d be back around midnight, so Layla would end up spending the night at Prince Atlas’s Manor.

November’s plan was written all over this.

Layla didn’t mind. Honestly, with this whole wedding thing coming out of nowhere, her head was spinning.

Chapter 175

After finishing her call with November, Layla turned around to find Nolan still waiting at the door. She let out a helpless sigh and forced herself to walk over.

Nolan looked at her and said, “Layla, this has to be some kind of misunderstanding, right? November has got that connection to Atlas’s family, doesn’t he?”

Everyone knew Leilani’s last name, and November had always been working closely with Atlas.

So Nolan was convinced November had to be family. Maybe they were cousins or something like that.

Layla said, “Nolan, November is actually Atlas. That’s why we had to keep it under wraps.”

Nolan was speechless. He’d been feeling a bit better after Olivia’s treatment, but the moment he heard that, his mind went totally blank.

If November were just some random guy who wasn’t good to Layla, maybe Nolan would still have a shot. But November was Atlas.

Nolan had no idea how he even walked out of there. His heart felt heavy, but he was also kind of happy for Layla. Honestly. his feelings were just a total mess.

Layla could tell Nolan wasn’t quite himself, but she didn’t think too much about it. She had bigger problems to deal with right now.

Like, if Layla really was about to marry Atlas, what would her dad even think?

‘Figures,’ she wondered.

Zaa piped up, [Layla, you’ve got a flood of calls coming in. Weston’s called you a hundred times, Bruce ninety-nine. Mr. Flynn eighty-nine, and even your dad, Daniel, is calling.]

Daniel hardly ever called or messaged Layla before. He always claimed it was because he was too far away and the signal sucked.

Layla only realized after learning his true identity that the whole bad signal thing was just a cover; he was with the rebels, after all.

If Alpha Prime ever tracked his signal all the way to the rebel base, they’d be totally screwed.

Now that Daniel had heard his newly reunited daughter was about to marry into Alpha Prime’s royal family, the Zimmer family, one could bet his signal was suddenly perfect.

Layla picked up the phone. “Father, you got a good signal now?” Layla said.

On the other end, Daniel, the rebel leader with a whole crew of guys under him, suddenly got a little nervous.

He kicked away a few of his men who were trying to eavesdrop, then switched to his best dad voice and said. “Yeah, the signal’s always spotty.”

Layla just said, “Oh,” and then asked, “Father, is there something you need?”

Daniel said, “So, I heard from Bruce that you guys are getting some time off. Why don’t you come back for a bit?”

Layla replied sweetly, “Yeah, that’s what I was planning.”

Daniel let out a sigh of relief, then pressed on. “So, I saw on Alpha Prime’s news that you’re getting married to Prince Atlas. Is

that true?”

Layla replied, “Yes, it’s true.”

Chapter 175

Hearing his daughter confirm it, Daniel felt a sharp pain in his chest and just froze.

Just then, her second uncle, Lincoln Sullivan, quickly leaned in and said, ‘Layla, marriage is a big dead. You cant pred into it! We have only just found you, and we haven’t even met yet.

“You two are still young. How about you bring him back with you this time? Let us meet him and see if you two are g match. If we feel you’re truly right for each other, then you can go ahead and get married”

The others all gave Lincoln a thumbs-up, thinking his delaying tactic was pretty clever.

Layla’s lips twitched in exasperation.

She wondered, ‘Back when you guys didn’t know November’s real identity, I might’ve actually brought him home. But now that you know he’s Atlas, bringing him along would be like tossing a lamb to the wolves.

Layla replied, “Atlas is pretty busy, so I’m not sure if he’ll have time. I’ll ask him when we meet up.

“As for the wedding, we only just found out ourselves, so we’re planning to have a real conversation about it once we see each other.”

Hearing that there was still some wiggle room, the guys on Daniel’s side all breathed a sigh of relief.

But then Layla added, “Actually, we’ve already made it official online, we’re registered as partners. We just kept it quiet unl now, and now His Majesty wants to hold a wedding for us.”

Daniel was speechless. All the uncles were left speechless, too.
