I Am The Luna

Chapter 67

A Hidden Reason

SEBASTIAN. I look across at Hugh as we sit silently opposite one another in a private room at a local teahouse. We brought the twins along, as Zaia wasn’t around. I didn’t want to leave them.

They’re currently happily eating cake as I wait for Hugh to state the reason he invited me. I don’t think he was expecting me to bring the children along.

I’m seeing him in a different light from what I know from last night, but I don’t let on I know anything. After all, Zaia told me that in confidence.

“Daddy look, cake! Do you want some?” Sia asks, holding up a spoonful for me. I bend down, accept it and give her a smile. “Thank you, Princess,” I say, ruffling her hair as I swallow the mouthful of sweetness.

It’s too sweet. I don’t know how she can eat something so sweet but as long as she’s enjoying it, that’s the main thing. Hugh clears his throat and I glance back at him.

“So…” he begins “You wanted to talk to me,” I state. He nods. “I did, then you were adamant about bringing the children…”

I cock a brow. “We can have a cordial meeting with them right here,” I say arrogantly, switching to French. He observes me before he sighs. “Well, I will cut to the chase then.” He begins as he picks up his cup. “Please do.”

“With everything that has been happening, I am worried about Zaia.” He begins in fluent French. Clearly not wanting to discuss this in front of the kids. “I’m worried about her too,” I reply in French.

“I’ve never liked you nor your family and they have never been fond of me, but I won’t deny that I know if something is to happen to me, you are the one person I know who I can entrust her to.” He says. Why is he talking like that?
