His Mate, His Girlfriend (Love and Ellis) novel Chapter 116

Chapter 116

I couldn’t help but stare at him. My heart was erratic.

Our eyes locked, and he smiled at me. I lay my head on his shoulder, and he caressed my jaw.

“1

Why were you in the pack?” I asked. He was hesitant to answer, and I raised my eyebrows. What could have happened?

“Just … work, baby,” he said. I could feel that he was keeping something from me. I was about to ask when he said,

Cayden lost a tooth,” he was distracting me.

“Did the tooth fairy visit and leave him five dollars?” I asked. My children get excited when they lose their teeth. They do this thing where they stay up to capture the tooth fairy but end up falling asleep. Ellis stiffened, and I raised my head from his shoulder to look at him.

“How much did you put under his pillow?”

Um. I didn’t know it was supposed to be five dollars,”

“It is… At most ten. Now, how much did you put for him?”

He gritted his teeth as if fearing my reaction.

31

Ellis?” I called in a warning tone.

A hundred dollars?” he confessed. I gaped. We are going to be the most hated parents in their class.

“I didn’t know,”

“I don’t care. Find a way to take back the money and give him ten dollars,”

“He won’t agree. He was so excited in the morning, and I don’t want to be the uncool Dad; you do it.”

31

Because I’m a bummer mom?!”

Aren’t you? Cay and Lara talk, you know,” he looked at me. I knew those eyes. They were judging me. I couldn’t believe it! My children totally think I was a bummer. I already saw where this was going. Ellis would be the fun Dad who would give in to their wimps, and I’d be the uncool mom who blocks it. So unfair!

“Let’s not take the money from him,” he shrugged. I explained the purpose of returning the money, and he nodded. We agreed.

Fine. I’ll tell him the tooth fairy made a mistake and is coming to return the money,” Ellis wasn’t impressed by me right then.

r Ellis drove us to his penthouse building. It was new,

Is this where you stay? What happened to the other one?” I asked. He held my hand as we went to the elevator.

“That one was too depressing for me without you. We had so many memories there,”

We arrived upstairs, and immediately, our kids ran to us. Seumo and Melody were already there.

“Mom, the tooth fairy left me this,” Cayden said, waving the hundred–dollar bill. He was excited, indeed.

‘I’m not taking it from him. Look how happy he is… I’m not a monster, Love,‘ he mind–linked.

‘Coward!‘ I shouted.

Bummer, mom!‘ he chuckled. He carried our little daughter to a couch. I faced my son,

I want to talk to you about something, baby,”

What is it, mommy?” he looked worried.

“It’s about the money you received from the tooth faity. Honey, she made a mistake, and we have to return it,” I said gently. He shook his head stubbornly,

“No! It is mine. I’m not returning it, Mommy… So uncool!” he shouted and ran upstairs. Yes, I was the uncool mom, the bummer mom. One of us had to be that parent, and I was. I glared at Ellis, but he smiled sheepishly, silently telling me he would talk to him.

The door opened, and Jace and Lilac walked in,

‘Ciao! Family,” I gasped and ran into her arms like a child. She chuckled and hugged me

“I’m so glad you’re back. I missed you,” I cried.

I missed you too. We have so much to catch up on,” she squealed. Yep, my Lila was back. I kissed Jace, too, and exchanged pleasantries.

We were later joined by Michael and his new mate Todd, who was so lovely. He was bubbly and chatty and radiated confidence and flair. Todd was the opposite of his mate.

Then, Zeyneb and Luis walked in. They were giggling about something. The house was full of warmth. Something delicious was cooking in the kitchen. Ellis was giving me the sexy eyes again. I felt a shiver go down my spine, and Vee howled in happiness.
