Chapter 258 A Reason To Press On

~Leo~

I got off the ground and headed into the house to wait for Amelia. Time was standing still in those moments. My troubles were distant.

I paced about the place, not knowing what to do. I was mad at Yuri and the Stepanovs. This would have been a better experience in our small bungalow. Somehow I felt like I was in a public home in the Packhouse. I see why Tamia never liked it.

I did not know what to do. So I headed to the room.

I wanted to ask Sylvester, Marcel or Theodore how they reacted to the news of their mates’ pregnancies and if they did anything special for their mates, but I knew it would be silly of me to do because they were all different and the circumstances were different.

I planned to wing it and just be myself.

Thirty minutes after I had entered the room, the doorknob turned, and Amile entered. Her face was looking worried, her eyes were swollen from tears, and I stood up immediately, ready to be at her beck and call.

“It wasn’t deliberate, Leo,” she said, almost on the verge of tears, and I rushed to her and pulled her close. Taking in her scent, words could not express my joy.

I kissed her deeply. Then broke the kiss and held her.

“You have made a happy man, Amelia; you have made me complete,” I said, wrapping my arms around her and holding her tight.

“You mean you aren’t mad?” She sniffled, and I squeezed tighter.

“How can I? We will be a family, Amelia. I am happy. You have given me a strong reason to succeed and press on,” I said, and she broke the hug to look into my eyes. Her eyes were already swollen with tears, and I wiped them away.

“It is silly of you to think I would be mad over something so beautiful, Amelia. This is sunshine in my darkness. When Tamia and Sylvester were expecting, I was jealous. It was something I believed would never be mine. Then I discovered that Amanda’s pregnancy wasn’t mine, and I believed the goddess was punishing me for my transgression. You are the answer to my prayers and a beautiful sign of forgiveness from the goddess,” I said and led her to the bathroom.
