Chapter 159. Outnumbered

*Isla*

The content of the letter continues to play through my mind for the next several days as I try to concentrate on other matters.

More important matters.

Like… whether or not Maddox is going to go ahead and announce the baby’s existence to the world. I have only asked him once, though, and when he practically growled at me that he hadn’t made a decision yet, I knew I just needed to wait and let him tell me.

For the most part, the two of us have been getting together very well since the appointment with Mystica, so I don’t want to irritate him. He just doesn’t know how to speak to me sometimes.

I often wonder how Rebecca would’ve responded if he’d growled at her, but I probably don’t want to know. From what I know about his wife, she didn’t take shit from anyone, whereas, even my own mother will tell me I am often a doormat.

Wonder whose fault that is….

Other more important matters include trying to decide on a name for this little one.
