The Billionaires Mistress novel Chapter 40

River’s POV

“Um... I gladly would have never interrupted this fine moment but you know the doorbell is ringing and you got mad last time I opened it without your permission.“Nate laughed awkwardly and I quickly pulled away from Ethan’s grip without taking a second to look at the expression on his face, walking towards the door.

I opened the door looking at directly ahead but there was no sight of anyone so I decided to close the door and midway I heard a bark causing me to jump.

I narrowed my gaze to find a golden retriever pup laying on our green doormat and before I knew it Nate was in front of me holding the dog.

“Please, Mom can we keep it!!!!“Nate exclaimed petting the pup and I simply smiled.

This was probably’s Ethans doing but I decided to act oblivious to the fact.

Ever since I was little I loved dogs but despised cats.I always felt like they had the devil hidden within them and found no reason what so ever to like them.

“You know puppy’s are a lot of responsibility, right?“I questioned him to make sure he was up for it even though I knew James and I would be doing most of the work but I wanted him to get used to responsibility.

I did not want Nate to be one of those rich spoiled brats even though I knew his father, James, My mom, brother, and Mateo will do exactly the opposite of what I tell them.

Ever since we were in high school James would always do whatever pleased him even if it meant violating the rules but if it wasn’t for him I would have never got through juggling work with the house, and Nate.

“Ok fine but early in the morning, tomorrow before I leave we have to go to the vet and get all the supplies necessary for him to survive,“I explained and he jumped for joy as Ethan gave me a puzzled look.

I glanced at the clock

9:55 pm

“Nate come on hun its time for bed,” I said, ignoring Ethan’s look.

“Mom can Eth.....can dad sleepover?“He asked, balling his big blue eyes while making that cute grin of his, Ethan now had a smile wider than all the bodies of water combined.

“Im not so sure Ethan would not want stay over.“I practically threatened to scold Ethan and trying to keep a smile for Nate.

“No I would lov-” He began but I kicked him with my heel.“fu- owwww”

“See he said no.” I said, trying to give a disappointed look but the grin was overshadowing.

“What I did not say no I was-”

I needed an excuse ga damn it, somehow, so he would not sleep over. I really did not feel like seeing his face in the morning especially if we were going to talk. I was not ready to talk.

“Yeah yeah dont remember you ahhh said um.....you told me you had work to do,” I explained, cocking my head in his direction.

“No no I do not-”

“But our beds are uncomfortable I am so sure you would wake up broken.”

“I’m sure I can manage.“He smiled and to this point, my eyes were throwing daggers at his. I was literally getting sick of him, so sick I was getting ready to through him outside.

“But we live near a train station Im sure your sleep-”

“I will mange-”

“But our food is gross.”

“We will by some in the morning.”
