Alpha's Lost Luna Returns With His Twins-Chapter 247-It Is Finally Happening

Kash:

Lara coming over was completely unplanned. I thought she would take the hint. At least for a few days, she would wait for me to send her a guard.

At least that is what her father had said, that after marriage and after crowning, if a wife goes away, she is to be brought home with much respect.

So when she appeared out of nowhere, she really put me in a tough spot. I knew that seeing her would make Iris angry again, and it would cause strain in our relationship to the point where she would refuse to take medicine from me.

Then, when I was about to reject Lara, she passed out. I had to take her to the hospital. Thankfully, Walkin volunteered. My mother went with her because, in her mind, Lara was the perfect mate for me.

I stayed in my office, thinking about the plans ahead.

"You called for me?" Zoe asked, knocking on the door of my office before walking in when I gave her a nod.

The door was already ajar, so she could see me sitting behind the table, lost in thought.

"Never mind, sit. Sorry," I told her, gesturing toward the chair.

She quickly moved to the seat and sat down, smiling at me.

"What is it?" she asked, not looking very concerned about the earlier drama.

"I was expecting you to come and convince me not to let Lara go," I began, realizing that even if I had doubts, Iris’s words about my mother and sister were true.

I believed that after Iris returned, my sister and mother did not like her. The excuse they gave me was that Iris had once run away, breaking their hearts when she hid the children from them.

Although their anger was justified to some extent, they could not completely ignore the fact that their brother, their son, was at fault for pushing her away.

I had a hard time believing that they had abused her so much that she refused to let the children stay with them.

"Do you care for me?" I asked Zoe, playing with a paperweight.

Her smile slowly faded, replaced by a look of concern.

"Kash, you know I do," she replied, sounding hurt that I even asked.

"I need your help," I told her.

"Wait. If this is about Lara, I’m not going to suggest anything," Zoe said quickly. "I used to like her a lot, but to be honest, recently I found out I was wrong about her. She’s manipulative."

She started talking rapidly, sharing her thoughts about Lara.

"It’s not about Lara," I paused, shifting in my seat.

"Then if it’s about Iris, I have no problem with her," Zoe said, straightening her posture.

"No. I just want you to take my kids to the kitchen and prepare some food," I explained. "Make them prepare a drink for Iris so she’s well fed. She’s not eating anything from me. I’m sure she will not take something from your hands either."

I explained the plan to her without mentioning the pearl, making it seem like I wanted to involve my children in an activity that would distract them from the drama in the mansion and also help Iris eat something. At the same time, I knew I could not give the pearl to Zoe.

"I can do that. That will be okay," Zoe replied.

As she stood up from her seat, she turned to look at me.

"I know Mom and I said we were upset with her, but why would you think Iris wouldn’t take anything from my hand?" Zoe asked.

Of course, she picked up on the small details and noticed the words I used.

I silently looked at her and then shrugged, still rolling the paperweight while rotating the chair to the other side, giving her only my side view.

"Did Iris say something to you?" Zoe asked.

The slight hesitation she showed was enough for me to realize that there was indeed something going on.

"No, but is there anything I need to know?" I asked, pulling my hand away from the paperweight and resting it on the armrest of the chair.

"No," Zoe replied, shaking her head. "I’ll be in the kitchen. I’ll let you know when the food is ready, okay?"

She spoke while nervously fidgeting with her fingers before walking toward the door.

I noticed her agitation, and it did not sit well with me. It was not easy for me to believe what Iris had said, because if it were proven true, I would never be able to trust the people around me.

I would never be able to trust my own judgment. I found myself truly incompetent for not being able to protect my wife.

After a few minutes, a maid informed me that Zoe was asking for me in the kitchen. They must have prepared the food.

I grabbed the pendant, pulled the pearl out, and walked out of my office, heading straight to the kitchen where my children were.

"Your Highness," another warrior snapped me out of my thoughts as I had just left my office.

I turned to him and gave a nod, silently asking what he needed to talk about.

"Your mother called," he stated softly, quickly lowering his head when he noticed the look on my face.

"What is it?" I asked him.

"She wants food to be sent to the hospital," he replied. "She also asked me to tell you that she wants you to come to the hospital. She wants to speak with you."

As he finished, I frowned in confusion. It was the kind of confusion that came from the fact that I had already told my mother that I did not want Lara in my life. So why was she asking me to come to the hospital again? Did she not know that once I made a decision, I never backed down from it?

It seemed like they were going to try and make me keep Lara in my life.
