Hiding His Baby: The Alpha's Rejected Mate

Chapter 47: Angry Suzanne

“Suzy, you came?” Athena asked with a smile when she found Suzanne standing by the door.

Suzanne didn’t smile back which told her that she was very angry at her. She gulped nervously because an angry Suzanne is always bad news.

“Why? You don't want me to?” Suzanne snapped without any emotions on her face which made Athena more nervous

That’s the bad news she was afraid of. Suzanne can get really snarky and sarcastic when she is angry. Athena gave her a puppy look along with a nervous smile.

“Oh come on, Suzy! Don’t be like this. Come in.” She invited her in while trying to act like everything was okay but Suzanne’s next snarky come back made her sad again.

“Oh trust me, I don’t need your permission.” Suzanne snapped while looking at her with narrowed eyes before walking toward them, toward the bed. Then she took a seat in front of Suzanne while still glaring at her.

“Good then. Tell me, how are you?” Athena asked with a smile, trying to avoid looking at her glare and trying to postpone it as much as she can.

“We will come to me later, first tell me what were you both talking about me. Ace? What did aunt Suzy do?

“Suzanne asked Ace in a playful tone while smiling at him.

She can never get angry at her munchkin. She loves him a lot and every time she looks at him, she feels happiness filling her heart.

“You put me to sleep.” Ace answered with a toothy grin, not thinking much about what he said earlier.

“Oh, it’s nothing. He was telling me how you always put him to sleep whenever I am hurt.” Athena said casually with a smile but that wasn’t the same expression on Suzanne’s face.

She went silent and her expression fell as she looked at Ace with a different kind of look. But soon she changed the expression to casualty before looking at Athena

“O…oh…that? Actually you know how he gets worried whenever that happens. I don’t want him to fall sick by crying a lot. Also, you would be worried as well. So, I put him to sleep.” She explained with a smile as she gave a loving look to Ace who was busy playing with Athena’s beautiful hair.

“Thank you so much, Suzy. It’s just he was asking me if I was hurt. That’s what we were talking about.” Athena said while caressing his head and looked at Suzanne. She immediately looked away when she saw the look on Suzanne’s face. It was ‘dangerous’.

*Oh, about that… Ace baby, your uncle Nathan and uncle Justin are looking for you. Don’t you want to play with them?” Suzanne asked him with a sweet smile and he was immediately brought back from the world he was in. His eyes sparkled in excitement as soon as he heard her..

“I do!” He exclaimed in happiness and immediately jumped down from Athena’s lap, ready to run away.

“Great! They are waiting for you outside. Go find them,” Suzanne said in a tone which matched his excitement while laughing at his cuteness.

“Okay! I am going right away!” He shouted before starting to run out of the room already. They both laughed at his cuteness,

“Don’t run! Be careful!” Athena warned behind him, knowing very well that it was really fruitless.

“Love you, mummy!” Ace shouted before running out of the room completely.

“Love you too.” She shouted back as she let out another small laugh.

As soon as he left, the room fell into a deep silence. Both of them were waiting for the other person to break the silence. But Athena was sure she was not going to break it and Suzanne let out a frustrated understanding that.

“So, what should I call you?” Suzanne asked in a blank tone, confusing Athena. She has never used that tone on her.

“What do you mean?” She asked in confusion.

“I mean, should I call you Athy, as in my best friend or should I address you as Luna and bow in front of you?” She asked in a sarcastic tone, making Athena feel really guilty.

“Suzanne, please don’t be like this. At least give me a chance to explain.” She requested and Suzanne looked at her with gritted teeth but kept her calm.

“One chance. You got only one chance. So, start explaining.” Suzanne said in a blank tone and Athena instantly nodded at her in appreciation.

“Actually there is nothing much to explain. He rejected me years ago. And now I am nothing but his rejected mate. That’s it. We don’t share anything else other than that.” Athena said with a sigh.

“I am confused, Athena. Why did he reject you? And why do you feel the mate bond if he rejected you?” She asked in confusion.

“Because I am yet to accept the rejection.” Athena answered, suddenly getting gloomy. Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

“And what do you plan to do about that?” She asked carefully, trying to read her expression.

“I don’t know. But I will surely do what’s the best for everyone.” Athena replied as she went into deep thoughts.

“Then I hope you actually know what’s best for everyone. I won’t force you to tell me what you have in mind but don’t do anything impulsive.” She warned and Athena nodded at her.

“Trust me, I do.” She said with a small smile and Suzanne just simply nodded at her.

“But that still leaves us with another question.”

A new voice spoke up in between them, making them jump before looking at the door where Patricia stood with a blank look on her face.

“Patricia.” Athena and Suzanne spoke up at the same time as they acknowledged her presence.

“Yes, me, whom you completely forgot while sharing secrets!” Patricia said with a pout while inviting herself into the room. Athena and Suzanne shared a smile before looking back at her with the same smile. They made a place for Patricia to sit.

“Aww, babe, don’t be sad because we know you already heard everything from the door.” Suzanne teased and they all laughed out loud.

“Yeah, I did. Sorry about that.” Patricia apologised sheepishly, making them laugh.

“Oh, don’t be. We were going to share everything with you anyway and it’s not like you are something dangerous for us. You are our best friend!” Athena exclaimed as the three shared a hug. They pulled away from the hug and looked at each other, suddenly getting serious.

“Now, about the question I was talking about.” Patricia spoke up.

“What is it?” Athena asked with a small frown.

“Who is Ace’s father?”

And at that moment, Athena wasn’t sure if she was prepared for it or not. Guess she can never be prepared for that question.
