Accidental Surrogate Chapter 384-Road Trip

Ella

I watch Cora struggle with her choice, biting her lip and trying to figure out how

she feels. My heart goes out to her now, because I know that she thinks it is an

impossible ask to tell us that she wants to put a coronation on hold so that she

can visit a temple.

But suddenly, quite suddenly, it’s all I want for her. Because Cora has been here

open my mouth to say this, but Sinclair beats me to it.

“I think we should go,” he says, and I whip my eyes up to see him giving a

casual shrug. “It will only take a few days,” he adds, looking down at me to see

how I feel. “And, quite frankly, we could…use a break before the madness

than he’s been in the past – I think spooked, still, by the disastrous results of our

last plan. “No planes or anything flashy – just…a small, anonymous family trip.”

I turn my attention back to Cora, wanting to know what she thinks. But she’s still

sitting perfectly still and quiet, clearly putting her thoughts together.

“I can’t ask you to do this,” she says after a long, quiet minute. “I – we need to

get the coronation going, to keep us all safe.”

“You don’t have to ask us to do it, Cora,” Sinclair answers quietly, and I turn my

eyes up at my mate. “We’re telling you we want to do it. Right?” he looks at me
