Testph, however, he seemed to be my shouto
When I went to the duke table for jilo lemps some spording water, he came with me. When I stood near the well on the pool deck people watching, he stayed right by my side, a statue or a bodygrand

Before evild rebuild the wewe to discuss what was happong with him, his parents spotted us from inside the hose and quickly came out to see
His mom fulla sprickly wrapped me up in the kind of comforting hug that seemed to come standard with
ta! It’s so pod to see you. I’m so glad
you are here,” she said.
I returned her big as much as I could. Lancian’s parents had always been kind to me, and I did miss them terribly these past few weeks.
His dad Harold was the next to come in for a hug. This gue was a great big bear hug that lifted me clear off of
my feet.
“Easy, Dad,” Laclan sahl.
“I’m just happy to see hes, is all,” Harold said as he slowly lowered me back down to the ground.
Lucian inched closer to me as I backed up a step.
Julia noticed and started to smile, “You know, Arla, l’iu su laician wants to apologize”
“Mom”
“And I hope you will hear him and reconsider this divorce. Your reconciliation is so important for the sake of each other, as well as for the health of the pack.”
“The pack needs its lama,” Harold added.
The pack never cared for me, but I refused to point that out in this moment. Not with Julia and Harold, who were always so kind to me. Maybe that affection for me blinded them to the true feelings of the people around them.
“Everyone has marital issues,” Julla continued. “Why, even Harold and I have had spats over the years.”
“It’s true,” Harold said.
“But, once you have a baby, you’re issues will seem so arbitrary compared to the Importance of the health and well -being of the baby you just brought into the world.” Julla looked at me with longing “I encourage you to get pregnant right away, Aria.”
They had no idea I was already pregnant. A hint of guilt flashed through me. If my plan succeeded, these two would never know their grandchild. That seemed so unfair to them. They would make great grandparents, so loving; and kind.
I regretted my choice for a moment, before sterling: my resolve once more. I couldn’t stay here, not even for them.
“It is time that I have an heir,” Luselan sald, glancing at me
In the past, I would have reeled at a proposal like that. Right now, all I hear is the lack of love in the suggestion. It was so formal. I need an heir. Nothing else.
Looking away from him, I kept my mouth shut..
Julia, studying me, said, “Lucian. Perhaps Arla would feel more comfortable if you were to finally expel Shella from your home.”
Those words did elicit a flicker of hope within me. If Lancian were to expel Sheila…
Perhaps that could be a signal that he was turning around, that he was willing to make changes for me.
“No,” Lucian said flatly. “Sheila will be staying where she is.”
