Alpha King’s pregnant Ex-Luna

This time, she did not doubt Alpha Kilian’s feelings for her. Truthfully, one could tell if someone had feelings for them through the eyes, and at that moment, Nelly could feel the seriousness of the man toward her. However, she had not the confidence in time. There was no answer to how long a relationship could last and how much they could endure. Most importantly, Nelly did not want Alpha Kilian to be dragged in her revenge, as he was not responsible nor obliged to do so.

He had lost his memory once just to save her, so Nelly did not want him to get entangled in her own cause this time. “Alpha Kilian…” she mumbled after a long pause, “I think we should just end things here.”

Narrowing his eyes, Alpha Kilian fixed his gaze on her. “End things here? What does that mean?”

Pursing her lips, Nelly stated, “I’ve thought about it. There’s no future in our relationship, so you should just stop wasting your time on me. You should find someone else that’s worth your effort and time.”

Her voice was so calm it drove Alpha Kilian into despair. With his deep and dark eyes, he stared at her in disbelief. “Are you serious?” he asked, his voice hoarse. Nelly nodded calmly.

“Why?” he probed. “There’s no ‘why.’ If there must be a reason, then it’ll be me. What’s in the past is in the past. I tried accepting it, but I can’t.”

Their eyes met, and Alpha Kilian drilled his gaze into her eyes as if he was trying to search her heart and soul. Nelly did not evade his gaze but instead looked right at him. After a long while, Alpha Kilian finally let her go. “I understand,” he stated. Before Nelly could say anything else, he turned and walked away.

Not a few steps later, he halted his steps, and with his back facing her, he uttered, “There’s no such thing as finding someone who is worth my time and effort. It’s all about the people I’m willing to put effort into.” With that said, he left.

Just as Alpha Kilian was about to exit the house, the front door was flung open, and Tony and Ben came in. Seeing the man flushing in fury, Tony asked, “You’re leaving already?”

“Yeah,” the man replied curtly, evidently not in a good mood. “Did something happen?” Tony inquired. Alpha Kilian glared back at the room before looking at the boys again. “It’s nothing. Take care of your mother,” he reminded before walking out in big steps.

Tony and Ben stared at one another. “They must have had a fight,” Ben guessed. Tony turned around, wanting to go to the room, but his brother stopped him.

“What do you want to go there?”

“I want to see Nelly,” Tony replied in an anxious tone.

Sighing, Ben responded, “Do that later. Give her some time for now.”

“But-”

“I know you’re worried about her. I am worried too, but they just had a fight, so just let Nelly have some space. We’ll go in once she calms down and is ready to talk to us,” Ben remarked.

Tony frowned looking at the room, but he still heeded Ben’s advice. In the room, Nelly leaned against the wall. Thinking about the pain she saw in Alpha Kilian’s eyes earlier, she inhaled deeply and shut her eyes.

After about half an hour, she took a shower and exited the bedroom, only to see Tony and Ben sitting in the living room, waiting for her. The eldest ran over the moment he saw Nelly. “Nelly…”

By then, Nelly had already collected herself up and adjusted her emotions, so she could smile and talk to them as she usually did. “You guys are back early. How’s Thalia?” she asked.

Seeing she was her usual self, Tony did not know how to react all of a sudden. “She’s fine…”

“Good,” said Nelly, nodding. “Are you going out, Nelly?” Tony asked when he saw that the woman was heading for the door. “Yeah, I have to go to work. Otherwise, how else am I going to feed you?” Nelly asked.

When the boy saw that his mother was behaving as if nothing happened, Tony was even more worried. “Nelly, did you and-”Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Get home soon, Nelly!” Ben interrupted with a smile, walking over.

Returning the smile, the woman patted him on his head. “I will.” Then, she put on her shoes and went to work.

Once she was gone, Ben looked back at his brother in resignation. “Seriously, Tony? I know you’re worried, but sometimes you’ll have to chill a little instead of asking a direct question. They’re all adults. They can solve their own problem. Nelly will definitely tell us if she wants us to know.”

“I know, but you have to understand that I’m on pins and needles thinking about them,” Tony explained himself.

“You’ll be in a mess if you let your worry get the better of you. You’re just like Daddy in this regard,” Ben noted.

“Speaking of, do you think he did something wrong to make Nelly angry?” Tony mentioned, frowning.

We’ve been watching how he behaves around Nelly, though. Ben eyed him in disappointment. “Really, Tony? How biased can you get? It’s obvious that Daddy’s the one who was pissed. Didn’t you see how furious he was when he stormed out?” Wait, now that I think about it, that’s true.

“Then what do you think happened?” Tony quizzed.

“I don’t know, but from what I can gather, Nelly is the one who has the upper hand in the relationship, so you can rest assured. She’ll never be bullied. It’s Daddy who deserves pity here.” Ben was still thinking about how crossed the man was when he walked away.

His words prompted Tony to think. Just as they were talking, Ben’s phone rang, and he straightened his back in excitement as if he recalled noticed something.

“Tony! Nelly was online yesterday!” Ben exclaimed.

“What?”

“Look at this!” Ben showed his phone to Tony.

The latter frowned upon seeing the bounty list. “Why do you think she’s looking for this tattoo design?” Ben asked.

Both of them knew that Nelly had not logged in to that account for a long while. Yet, yesterday, not only did she announce the bounty for the tattoo design, but she had even chatted on the platform. Her unusual behavior made them instinctively think that something was going on. Frowning even deeper, Tony queried, “Do you think this matter is related to how Nelly behaved yesterday?”

Given how long they had stayed together, the children already noticed that Nelly looked disturbed the day before, despite how hard she tried to seem normal around them.

“Most likely.” Ben nodded in seriousness.

“We can’t let this be. We have to get to the bottom of this!” Tony stated.
