Chapter 38


    Hunter Sparrow:


    I’ve been feeling restless ever since the discovery of my child. It started to bother me that I had said


    all those things to Turner.


    “I knew we were up to something wrong back when we were in the office, Net spoke up as I sat on


    the couch with my shirt open and a bottle of alcohol in my hands. I didn’t have any other idea how to


    ease this feeling of pain in my heart than to drown myself in alcohol.


    “Then why the heck didn’t you speak up?‘ I asked him, feeling a lot of pressure on my broken heart.


    “I tried toe out, probably showed myself to our son too, Net was as furious as I was. I was more


    angry at Reyna than I had ever been. First, she cheated on us and then hid our child. How much did


    she n to hurt us?


    Then you’re the one who scared him. He saw you peer through my eyes and left in fear, I found


    someone to me for my mistakes. But what was my mistake? I did what I thought was right in the


    moment.


    ‘Hey! Don’t use me of anything when it was clearly you who wanted to hurt the child’s feelings,


    imagining that ex–mate of ours, Net wasn’t going to be fooled like the others. It was true that I got


    angry at Reyna and took all my anger out on her son, who at the time I had no clue was my son.


    ‘Well, nothing really matters anymore, Net sighed.


    “Why not? Reyna has to answer me. Why did she run away after lying about the miscarriage? Of


    course, she wasn’t certain Turner was our child until the veryst minute,‘ I blurted out as I was still


    not done venting out my emotions. N?velDrama.Org owns all content.


    the


    ‘Makes me wonder how our son knew. Remember how he called us ‘dad‘ that day? Ah, it breaks my


    heart to think he came to


    office to speak to us because he knew we were his dad, and then that whole mess happened, Net’s


    words only intensified my feelings. The more I remembered that day, the uglier I felt inside,


    “What are you doing? Why are you not ready yet?” The door suddenly opened, and Tara marched


    inside, all set to go somewhere. Seeing her face disturbed me even more. I don’t know why, but if


    she hadn’te to the office that day, that whole mess wouldn’t have happened.


    “I don’t remember nning to go somewhere, I stated, staring at her through my eyebrows and then


    taking a sip from the bottle.


    “Ugh! Look at yourself. What are you mourning over that you don’t even remember that my father


    has invited us over for lunch?” she yammered in her annoying voice. She was previously ignored by


    her parents, and they only agreed to reconcile with her because they found out she was marrying


    me. I got engaged to her after I wanted to hurt Reyna, but then she never let


    1. go.


    She was so clingy that no matter how many times I told her I could never fall for her, she insisted


    she would make me. It had been years, and if anything. I disliked her THOW


    “I am not going anywhere,” I replied, making sure to watch her face for a reaction. She was so


    weird. Some things she had said and done when my son was in the hospital made me raise my


    eyebrow at her. She was defending the kid in the office, but the instant it was time Turner needed


    me, she was all against the idea. So, that office thing was an act?


    “Why not? My father would be very upset, she folded her arms over her chest, trying to intimidate


    me.


    “I am not responsible for making him happy,” I replied casually.


    “Are you doing all this because of those two? Because if so, well done, you got yourself yed, she


    pped and let out a tauntingugh, mentioning my son and that cheater of a mate I had once


    epted.


    “Exin yourself,” I said, putting one leg over the other and moving it in anticipation. I hadn’t even


    straightened my


    back at


    her arrival.


    “Ugh! Don’t you get it? She is going to use that kid to hurt you. Even after she cheated on you, she


    thought she deserved to stay here. And once you didn’t believe her lies, she nned to run away


    with your child. Obviously, she feared the DNA test. If there was a one percent chance that the


    baby was yours, she would have been kicked out without the child. So she lied rather than give you


    your son. And now she must be sitting in her mansion,ughing at the fact that she won again,” her


    words made something twist in my heart.


    Reyna stole my son and ran away with him. Even when I met him, she didn’t once say that Turner


    was my son. Not to mention, looking at how simr he looked to me, I did ask her who the father


    was, but she looked so confident that I couldn’t even imagine he was my son.


    “Oh, I’m d I found you two here,” my thoughts were interrupted when my mother strolled inside


    with a smile on her lips.


    She was carrying some bags, and it seemed like she was also ready to head somewhere.


    “Why are your all ready? I’m sorry, but my father only asked for Hunter and me,” Tara said with a


    sheepish grin. I didn’t know what was going on between these two, and I didn’t try to intervene. My


    mom had forced me into getting engaged to Tara, and she was the one whoter prevented the


    breaking of the engagement. Every time I tried leaving Tara, my mother woulde and threaten to


    take her own life.


    She had calmed down on her love for Tara now, but I didn’t care anymore. She wanted Tara as her


    daughter–inw, so she had to deal with her now. It’s not like my mother was ever nice to Reyna.


    She had never left a single chance to ruin our evenings.


    “You guys are headed somewhere?” my mother’s question made it clear that she wasn’t thinking of


    apanying us either.


    My father has invited us over for lunch. Where are you headed


    Tara had her arms folded over her chest. Even though Reyna betrayed me, and I had so many


    comints from her now, back when she was here, I had never seen her raise her voice with my


    mother. I believe it was my mother’s karma for treating her wrong to have found a daughter–inw


    like Tara.


    “I bought some stuff and thought maybe I could go see my grandson, as soon as mom said those


    words, Tara covered her mouth and then looked my way.


    “You see this, it’s like she doesn’t remember how horrible Reyna had been to us. This is what I was


    talking about when I said Reyna is going to use that boy to– Tara continued to utter when a hand


    gesture from me silenced her.


    “My son,” I corrected her, and she gulped at the realization that I wasn’t falling for her yapping. She


    had been talking way too much, and I was only listening to her because I believed in letting


    someone expose themselves with their own words


    “I called the hospital, and the doctor told me that Turner had been discharged. I want to go see my


    grandson, Mom took a stand, straightening her posture to order me.


    It wasn’t actually a very bad idea. If Reyna had made me ufortable, she shouldn’t be in peace


    either. Besides, my son should have me on his side.


    “Tell me you have not lost your mind like she has,” Tara insisted, cing her hands on her waist.


    The confident look on her face told me that she didn’t think I would listen to my mother. But she was


    wrong.


    “Actually, Mom, I will take a shower, and then we can go, I ced the bottle down and smiled when


    Tara looked so upset.


    It was time that I im what’s mine.


    My son!
