Sinful Mates 1-3 novel Chapter 143

　　Evelyn’s POV

　　It had been a month since we left, we had been staying at Thaddeus’s parent’s house. Orion was right, without Thaddeus even though I still had them, I felt his absence deeply. I missed him, the first week or so was fine, the second was harder and now it was agony.

　　Orion and Ryland tried to cheer me up, they had even been letting me see Lana every week. We meet in the city every Friday. Tomorrow I would see her, and I looked forward to it. It was my favourite day of the week because I got to see her. April hadn’t said anything since that first day I saw her, and we had been getting along fine. Though I sometimes caught her staring and the look on her face was a little off sometimes when I caught her watching. Ryland and Orion didn’t trust her said something smelt off about her, that they didn’t trust her. She had given me no reason to distrust her, so I just put it down to the fact they just didn’t like her because of what she said that one time.

　　Amara let us have her room, and she stayed inside with her parents. His parents were always welcoming and nice, but I often caught his father’s watching me, not in a bad way but like they wanted to ask me something but didn’t know how. Or maybe they blamed me for their son taking off, I wasn’t sure.

　　Walking into the kitchen, I see Ryland talking to Tobias at the counter. Amara was talking to her other father while making coffee’s. I went to see if they wanted help, but Imogen pulled me toward her pulling a stool out. I sat down and Tobias had that look on his face again like he wanted me to answer something. Imogen nudged him with her elbow. “Don’t stare, you scare her when you do that?” she tells him, and he looks away.

　　“Don’t mind him dear. Guilt is eating at him“ she says making me furrow my eyebrows.

　　“I don’t understand” I tell her. Theo places a coffee in front of me, messy my hair as he goes and retrieves another. Tobias says nothing but Theo answers.

　　“Amara told us what happened to you, Tobias even Bianca blames themselves for what happened, think they should have just kept you” Theo says. Well, that’s not what I thought he was going to say.

　　I shake my head. “You told them?” I ask shocked, I hadn’t even told her but knew she snooped into my past.

　　“I know I shouldn’t have showed them, but dad kept pestering me, thinking he destroyed your life” Amara said, and my face flushed with humiliation. It was one thing Thaddeus and Orion knowing exactly what happened down to every detail another knowing it was now public knowledge.

　　“Don’t be ashamed, you did nothing wrong Evelyn, you were a child” Imogen tells me.

　　“So, do you hate me?” Amara asks, I shake my head.

　　“Please don’t do that again, some things I like to keep to myself” I tell her, and she nods.

　　“And I was never your responsibility and like I said to Thaddeus, chances are I would have ended up in Foster care anyway, Thaddeus said my parents didn’t exactly have the best lifestyle” Tobias looks relieved, letting out a breath.

　　“You really thought I would blame you and Bianca?”

　　“Yes, can I ask you something else?” he asks but Amara stops him waving her arms and shaking her head.

　　“What’s wrong?” I ask her.

　　“Nothing, but I know that conversation is best between you and your mates” she answers, and I look to them. They both shrug not understanding what she is talking about.

　　“Believe me when Thaddeus comes back you will have that discussion.”

　　“Thaddeus will come back?” I ask, Even Ryland and Orion looked up at her.

　　“Yes, my idiot brother will come back soon but he won’t stay, and I am not sure when.”

　　“You can’t dig into the future?” I ask wanting to know.

　　“No, I can’t, I let things come to me. Me peeking can change things, manipulate the future, which is never a good Idea, so I try not to pry. The past though, has already been so I can snoop as much as I want into people’s past, but their future, I slip up and tell you the wrong thing, it could alter it” She explains. Kind of made sense although I really wanted to see him.

　　The rest of the day was spent with Imogen. She showed me where she worked which was Kane and Madden enterprises. She is Tobias and Theo’s secretary and to kill the boredom, today I went with her. She showed me around the building and explained the different departments. It all went over my head. She also introduced me to one of her best friends a woman named Merida. Orion and Ryland stayed at home and figured I was safe enough with Imogen. It felt good being out of the house without their lingering concerned eyes all the time.
