The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 28

Luna made a move as if she was about to walk forward.

But Leander stopped her. "No need."

Nigel also ran over, wrapping his arms around her waist. "Mom, this bedroom has been yours and yours alone from the day you moved in!"

Leander clearly agreed with Nigel, "The kid's right."

Luna apologetically turned to me. "I'm sorry, Amara. It's not that I want to hog your master bedroom. It's just that they won't let me."

Leander frowned. "You don't have to apologize to her. It's not your fault."

He was clearly displeased with my behavior, his voice raised in reprimand. "Amara, I don't recall it being time for you to leave the hospital yet."

"So what?" I wasn't about to take any more from him. "Now that you bring your mistress back home, I can't even come back to my own house?"

Leander bluntly concluded, "You're back, so you can sleep in the guest room with me! It's a simple solution, yet you make it uncomfortable for everyone. I really don't know what you're thinking."

After saying that, he and Luna turned and headed towards the living room.

Ha!

I scoffed, "You know exactly what I'm thinking, don't you?"

Leander turned back.

"Nigel has told you countless times that he wishes you would divorce me." Calmly and deliberately, I laid out my case. "Clearly, Luna's the only one in your heart. If that's the case, then why not just agree to the divorce? If you'd agree, many problems would be solved."

Across from me, Luna looked at Leander expectantly. The kids were also staring intensely at him.

Nigel was bolder, pleading outright, "Dad, just agree to it, please!"

But Leander remained silent.
