Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 28

Chapter 28

He drops the pack of donuts and the beverages on the counter beside the bed before he hoists Leila on his laps, her soft behind pressing against him and he smirks at the slight jolt of pleasure that shoots through him.

Leila struggles to free herself, she doesn’t want to be intimate or affectionate with him, it will only worsen the wound he has left on her heart when he leaves her for his chosen.

She is better off being treated like she doesn’t exist.

Why treat her so coldly in the public only to show his care every time after? Doesn’t he know it’s the slight hope that’s the most tormenting?

Tatum wraps his arms around her tight even as she writhes and he softly peppers her neck with kisses, every touch of his lips calming the raging effect in Leila’s heart.

“I know you are mad at me and I deserve it. I’m sorry about the recent turmoil, it’s…uneasy times,” Tatum whispers into her ear, his voice soft and soothing and when Leila looks into his eyes, they are full of nothing but remorse.

Leila’s eyes coat with tears and she sniffs. If only his words could ease the ache in her heart. She doesn’t want to give in to this illusion, this illusion that he cares

“So when will it end?” She replies in a placid tone.

How will it end? She couldn’t say those word to him, is it because she still has hope in her?

She doesn’t even know.

She has been practising not being jealous for years. She’s good at it. But she knows deep in her heart, there is also this dark corner where she imagines that one day Tatum will tell Carmela, her best friend, that it’s Leila that he wants.

But only as dark fantasies.

“You know my hands are tied when it comes to Carmela. She is supposed to be my Luna, and even if she doesn’t bear the mark, her father is still a powerful beta…”

Leila looks away, needing to say no more. Unlike her, daughter of a dead beta, Carmela has everything to be a better choice for the title.

She doesn’t even want the title. All she wants is for him to say that there is a spot in his heart, for her.

“I know I have been busy recently, but that’s no reason for you to be so close with Kelvin”

Is that what this is about? His image?

“I already told you Tatum, Kelvin and I are just friends.

Tatum gently pats her thigh, giving it a soft rub and slowly shakes his head at her.
