The Unveiled Rose novel Chapter 45

Luna had officially become his mother, but it seemed he wanted more – a closer bond with Luna.

And what was that to me?

I looked at him with distaste. "Why are you telling me this? Do I know you?"

Nigel stood there, stunned as if my words had hit him hard.

I frowned, making no effort to hide my annoyance. "Whatever you want to do to build a relationship with your mom, just go ahead. That's your business, not mine. Please, stop coming over to tell me about it over and over again. I don't have the time to waste, got it?"

With that, I walked past him, but after a few steps, I turned to address the staff, "I hope you will keep a better watch on your students in the future. Don’t let them bother strangers."

After dropping that line, I got into my car.

As Reuben hit the gas and steered onto the road, he gave me a curious look.

After spending some time together, I had a pretty good read on him. Settling into a comfortable position, I leaned back.

"What’s on your mind?" I asked directly.

"I just think you're doing great," Reuben said, his voice neutral, eyes back on the road. "Making a choice and sticking to it."

I chuckled lightly.

"Got any plans for what's next?" Reuben asked.

I shook my head. "Not yet."

"Do you need me to have someone draw up a plan for you?" Reuben felt that Joyce had been doing much better since staying with me. Naturally, he wanted to make sure I was doing well, too.
