60. A Father or I Am The Luna Chapter 138 By Moonlight Muse
ZAIA.
He shrugs, looking at me as if I had just used him wrongly.
“I don’t know,” he says, feigning innocence as he turns when Siaes into view. “Sia is causing
problems.”
Mhmm, I’m sure that is as far from the truth as possible.
Her long auburn hair is in a high ponytail, and she’s all dressed and ready for the journey. She’s
wearing a tweed white dress with ck cors and tights. On top of it, she’s wearing a white fur coat
with a matching hat.
“Mommy, he real-” she begins, but just then the doorbell rings, interrupting her. “Dad!” Sia turns her
eyes, lighting up with excitement.
She runs to the door and so does Xander and I smile at Zion, who remains in his spot, despite the
excitement in his eyes.
“I’ll go get your bags.”
He takes hold of my arm and tilts his head. “It’s Christmas. You should say hi at least, Mom.”
My heart skips a beat as I look into his piercing blue eyes, and I nod. “True, I will, don’t you worry.”
I don’t avoid him, but I need a moment to gather my emotions.
It’s hard though. Looking at Sebastian makes my heart be a frenzy, surging with powerful and
intense emotions. I haven’t seen him in a while, but I’ve noticed over thest two years, that every time
I see him, the pain and the bad memories no longere to mind and that scares me because I don’t
know how to react to that.
I know what it means… I have forgiven him, forgiven him for the broken trust.
It took me a lot of time to get to where I am now. After what happened, I was more closed off and was
always on edge. Far more paranoid than I thought I would be.
Even sending the children to school made me so anxious, although they had trusted guards on the
school premises throughout the day. Yet, I was still panicking and counting the hours until they got
home in the evening.
I would check if Zade was indeed still locked up, always double-checking the locks and the windows
several times before bed. The entire thing took a toll on me, but as the years passed, it became easier
and I began to rx.
Remembering better times when things were safe. We are safe, despite the issues with the humans,
we are doing ok. With the passing years, I began to remember the things I loved and the hobbies I had
cast aside.
Watching movies, reading,te-night walks… ying the violin, dancing…
I found myself and despite the fact that I missed the man who has kept my heart captive all these
years; I have found the me that I can be proud of. The door is pulled open by Sia and the biting cold of
the blizzard hits me hard. The howling of the wind fills the room as Sia shrieks in excitement, hugging
her dad.
“Daddy! I missed you!”
“I missed you too, Princess,” Sebastian’s deep husky voice responds. My stomach flutters and I dare
look up at the man in the doorway.
Goddess, can a person get more handsome with every passing year? His ck hair is brushed back,
with a single strand falling in front of his face. There are a few streaks of grey which were there thest
time I saw him, but they only add to his deadly charm. There’s a dusting of snowkes over his
shoulders and head, too.
His eyes snap to mine, those piercing blue eyes take my breath away. They sh silver as they look me
over, head to toe, then back up until he’s gazing into my eyes once more.
There it is, that burning fire that makes me feel weak. I swallow hard, trying to remainposed, but
it’s hard.
He’s wearing a ck coat with grey fur around the hood. I can see he’s in ck pants and ck boots
underneath.
“Dad! My bags are all packed!” Xander says, not wasting any time, eagerly wanting to leave as
Sebastian looks away from me, smiling faintly at our youngest. He kisses Sia’s forehead then kneels
down beside him, giving him a hug.
“Hold your horses’ son, we will leave soon, but the flight has been dyed.”
“Hey, Dad,” Zion says as he walks over to his father.
“Zion, hello son.” Sebastian pulls him in for a tight hug and I can’t help but smile, seeing the three look
up at their dad with adoration and love.
The children love him, and he does a lot for them. I am so proud of the fact they have that strong bond
with him. “How did your ice-skating gig go?”Property ? 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
“Oh, piece of cake.” Zion winks, “I did ok.”
He had spontaneously joined in on a winterpetitionst week and ced first.
“More than okay, he ced first,” I say, making them all turn to me.
My heart thuds, wishing I didn’t speak as Sebastian tilts his head, walking past the children.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less from our son,” he says, his voice dropping a few octaves. “How have
you been, Zaia?”
I try to smile, but my lips tremble slightly, trying not to focus on the fact he’s closing the distance
between us.
“I’ve been great. How about yourself?” I ask, internally kicking myself at how breathless I sound. Sia
giggles as Xander gags, crouching down by the door and scooping up snow.
Sebastian smirks arrogantly, almost as if he knows exactly how he affects me. Who am I kidding? Of
course, he does.
“Even better now,” he responds.
I wrap my arms around my waist and try to squash the sizzling tension between us. “You said the flight
is dyed?”
He takes out his phone and nods. “I’m afraid so, but there’s a snowstorm. I don’t even know if the flight
will be taking off tonight,” he frowns.
“What?!” Xander exims, looking appalled.
“Let’s stay positive,” Sebastian says. ” We will be updated soon.”
Sia smiles, “Well, either way, it’s ok, maybe we’ll get to celebrate Christmas together, here.” She winks
at Zion, who nods his agreement.
“That is, of course, if the snow just gets worse,” he adds.
These two…
“We’ll work something out,” Sebastian says.
If that happened, does that mean Sebastian will stay here? Panic rises in me, and I run my fingers
through my hair. How will I survive a few days in his presence?
Why am I acting like a giddy teenager? It’s going to be fine, it will be fine…
But I haven’t been alone with just the kids with him…
Goddess Zaia, you are a grown woman.
“Well, why don’t you guys go to the lounge? I will get some hot drinks. I don’t have any extra clothes,
but do you want to dry off?” I ask.
“I’ll be fine, unless you’re ok with me walking around in a towel?” he responds.
My cheeks burn as the image in my head only makes me even more flustered. Xander gags again. “I
don’t want to see Daddy’s hairy legs,” he grumbles, making the rest of usugh.
Sebastian smirks as he cocks a brow, looking at our youngest.
“You will be hairy one day too,” he replies as he walks over to him, picking up some snow, rolling it into
a small ball and tossing it at his head.
“No, I won’t!” Xander replies with utmost confidence as he grabs the snow and tosses it at Sebastian.
“Keep the snowball fight outside,” I warn as Xander tosses some inside and I step back, and it narrowly
misses me.
“Understood,” Sebastian says as he steps outside. “Who’s up for a snowball fight?”
“I am!” Sia says as Zion nods. He looks at me, but I shake my head.
“You all enjoy, I’ll go make some hot drinks for when you’re done.”
He smiles, giving me a small nod. ” Sure.”
That boy… Sometimes it’s like he knows something, or he’s up to something!
I make my way into the kitchen and close the door behind me, cing a hand to my chest, not realising
just how much it was pounding.
Goddess…
I close my eyes but only Sebastian’s face remains, and I sigh, opening my eyes again.,
Well, I should put together a quick snack.
When is the flight dyed until, anyway?
Turning on the coffee machine, I take my phone out, checking the flights, but the moment I click on the
local airport website, arge message on a red banner res back at me from the top of the page.
ALL OUTBOUND AND INBOUND FLIGHTS CANCELLED DUE TO STORM CLARA UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE.
My eyes fly open, my heart thundering as I stare at the message. Storm ra… Has it reached us
already? There’s no chance that they’ll be leaving for at least a few days…
I stare out of the kitchen window, looking at the wind that is getting worse, cooking up a blizzard, but
I’m more concerned with what this means…
Sebastian will be around for a few days. How am I going to cope with being around him for so long?
