His Mate, His Girlfriend

Chapter 35

You don’t have anything to say to me?” Ellis’ eyes flickered. | feigned to think and then shook my head.

Nothing comes to mind. The project is underway, and I'll report to my senior, who will report to you,” | said. | p issed him off, and he was in front of me in a flash. The coffee in my hands spilled to the floor, and | wheezed.

“You're treading on dangerous waters, you know,” his voice chilling. It made the hair on my body stand up.

I'm afraid | don’t understand,” | said.

| flinched when he hit his palm against the wall close to my face.

Don’t take me for a fool,” he growled in my ear. Ellis was not a fool, but he was a jerk. *

The most handsome jerk in the world,’ Vee added, and | rolled my eyes at her.

I've been waiting for your call. An explanation,” Ellis gritted his teeth. My eyes fell on his cherry lips. | had the strong urge to curl my finger

into his hair and kiss into oblivion, but it was probably because my mind went to our elevator salacious scenes back then. They were passionate and rousing. My breath shuddered at the memories.

Thanks for taking my daughter to the clinic?” | asked. He clenched his jaw as his chest rose and fell,” I'll send flowers and chocolates,” | added coyly.

He wrapped his hand around my neck in a fit of anger, yet he didn’t choke me. Even in this state, he’d never hurt me.

How can you delight in this?” he all but growled, ” They are mine, and you took them from me,” his voice was a hurt whisper, his face full of emotions | was unfamiliar with, “How can you be so cruel?”

They Are Our Kids

Love

I did a double-take. | was cruel?

Ellis’ sudden susceptibility caught me off guard. He was angry a moment ago now. | see where my children get their mood swings

from.

“| didn’t take anything from you. They are my kids, and mine alone,” | growled and pushed him off me, but he placed hands on either side of

me.

Let me through,” | ordered, but he refused to move.

Why the f uck didn’t you tell me you were pregnant?”

Just who told you my kids are yours?” | said. His breath jerked, and he took a step back. | use this change to go past him and into the office. | didn’t catch a breath when the office door pushed open. Ellis took threatening steps towards me, and | took a few back.

“They are mine. | can feel it even though their scents are hidden. You f ucking named him, Cayden Carter,”

‘It could be anyone’s name,” | said.

“Don't play games with me, Love, “he growled. | exhaled and faced him.

“Does it look like I’m in the mood to play games? | didn’t even drink my morning coffee thanks to you,” | barked, pointing an accusing finger at him. He sneers again and again as if unable to believe me.

Coffee? You f ucking took my kids from me, and you're talking about drinking coffee!” he boomed. Is he s tupid? | need coffee to function

or I’m a zombie. He should know this, or has he forgotten how cranky | get?

“This was a punishment, your revenge for what | did,” he threw his hands in the air and rubbed my face. He takes a step closer, his aura overwhelming me. Lias was close. He put his hands on my hips and came close to my neck. | could feel his warm breath on my skin. Ellis quickly took control of his body and stepped back.

“You're angry with me. You want vindication for what happened five years ago, but this is not how you get it. You don’t deny me, my kids,”

“| don’t want retribution against you. | would if you meant something to me, but you are nothing to me now,” | snarled. Ellis let my words hang in the air. My remarks stabbed him, and he didn’t hide the hurt that crossed his face. He cupped my face and looked into my eyes.

“| know they are mine, but | want to hear it from your lips, please, Love, please,” he begged.

Even if they were your pups, you forfeited me, hence your children!! left to give you peace with your mate!” 2

“| didn’t want you to leave!” he yelled.

You wanted us both?” he peered at me after my question. | stared right back at him fiercely.

No, Love. | would have chosen you. | wanted you, heck, | want you now,” he whispered. | swallowed. He wants me now? Why and what about his mate? Is he only saying this for me to confirm the kids are ours? Many questions ran through my mind. However, | saw sincerity in his gaze. My willpower was weakening. Vee was resurfacing. She got emotional when he was around us, and | couldn’t have that. | couldn’t allow her to be weak. | glared at him.

Chosen me? When you are tired of f ucking her like you did? Was it even supposed to be a choice?” | asked. Ellis cradled my face gently,

n

but | revolted against his touch.

There shouldn’t have been a choice to begin with. You'll never know how sorry | am for doing that, Love,”

I stared at his eyes again. They were full of emotion. | kept my mouth shut for a moment before admitting.

H

They are your kids — Our kids,”

| didn’t expect his reaction. He stumbled towards the white wall. He was breathing heavily. Hearing it from my lips made it more real —| think. | wanted to hold him, but | didn’t.

His lips curled into a slow smile, and my heart melted seeing it.

He fixed me an intense stare and drew in a breath.

Thank you, Love. Thank you for telling me the truth,” he whispered. | let him process this new information. | kept myself busy browsing through the files that were on my desk. | looked up at him when he spoke.

| want to see them, Love. | want to introduce myself to them... As their dad,” he tried to conceal his excitement and anxiousness from

his voice.

They already know you're their father,” | informed him. The gleam vanished from his eyes.

How?” Ellis asked.RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

They asked about their father, and | told them your name and gave them-a-picture too... Well, | told them you went to Mars to save the Earth, and that’s why you weren’t with us,” | chuckled. A lump was growing in my throat, but | swallowed it.

“They believed that?”

“Yes, as cute as they are. They aren’t the smartest kids in the world,”

Oh, refuse to believe that. They as ours, they must be the smartest, Ellis was being co cky. | rolled my eyes. Such an impertinent man.

And the Biggest Ego award goes to Ellis Carter! We were both smiling. He glanced at me, and | aveted from his sterling eyes-1 stared for too long. Why was it suddenly hot?

“You can meet them... soon,” | said quickly, | didn’t want him to notice how flushed | was. He stood in front of me unexpectedly and took my hands in his. | was a little shocked by his actions. His hands. were warm and pleasant. My heart raced, and | shuffled my feet awkwardly at our closeness.

“Okay, | can’t wait to see them,”

Our gazes locked again. My blood throbbed in my veins. Ellis opened his mouth to speak but the door to my office opened. Jamie breathed in dramatically and turned his back. | rolled my eyes. | was used to my secretary being theatrical in situations. However, Ellis didn’t let my hands go.

“I'm sorry, | didn’t mean to interrupt, Jamie apologized.

*Urgh, relax. You're not interrupting. Mr Carter was leaving,” | said, tugging my hand from Ellis.
