The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 4

What did they experience together, and what kind of bond did they develop, that their feelings grew so deep that Nigel had to call Luna "Mom"?

He was just trying to dodge responsibility. He never considered...that he was the root of it all.-

I closed my eyes. "Leander..."

Uttering his name had drained all my energy. "I've seen all the messages, so please, don't treat me like I'm clueless, okay?"

Leander fell silent.

I waited for a long time, but his reply never came. Turning around, I was about to head back to the bedroom.

But Leander caught me from behind. "I'm sorry."

I stopped in my tracks.

Leander carefully chose his words. "This is mostly on me. I lacked judgment. I just thought you were overwhelmed with our son every day and wanted to ease your burden."

Yeah, right!

His idea of easing my burden was...not finding the time, even a single day, with our son and me.

But how did he always manage to sneak out with other women?

I struggled hard, trying to break free from his embrace.

Leander didn't want to let go. "But I didn't realize it would bother you. That's my mistake!"

"I promise I'll never contact her again!"

"It's over. Nigel and I will leave that group!"

"I'll even delete her contact information from Nigel’s and mine phone."

"So, Amara, can you give me another chance, please?"

"I promise I'll make it right from now on. And I'll keep my distance from other women too."

Leander's voice turned a bit plaintive. "For the sake of our years together and for our son's sake... Amara, please don't leave me."

His pitiful tone made him seem terrified of being abandoned, and my thoughts inadvertently drifted to Nigel.
