Chapter 98. Not Alone

Emery’s POV

“This is my dad’s house here.” I said as we entered a two-story modern house. Terrence looked around before he dropped his eyes on me.

“Why are you staying in the hospital when you have a house to sleep in?”

I smiled bitterly. “I don’t wanna sleep alone here. And I want to take care of my dad all day and night.”

He sighed and pulled me closer to him. He caressed my hair, kissed it before he rested his chin on my head.

“Where’s your stepmother?”

I shook my head. “She’s gone. She doesn’t want to stay with my dad anymore. She just… wanted his money.”

Terrence’s arms around me tightened. “I’ll stay with you no matter what.”

I smiled and wrapped my arms around his waist. “I know…”

He lifted my chin using his forefinger. He planted a soft kiss on my lips before he carried me. He sat on the couch and placed me on his legs, straddling him.

I rested my elbows on his shoulders and locked my hands against his nape.
