Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter THIRTY: A woman every man wants

Maurene 'S POV

I stepped out of the toilet, feeling more refreshed than I was when I came in. I glanced around the hall and noticed no one in sight. Walking majestically to the main hall, I let the words Nathaniel said to me be my new drive. For the first time in years, he had said something that I needed at the moment. He surprised me. I looked around the hall for Liam but couldn't find him. I should not bother. If he didn't notice the stunt Galen had pulled earlier on then why should I worry about him?

I lifted my shoulders in a shrug and waddled through the hall.

"She is Liam's secretary. At a point when I was discussing with him, he referred to her as his wife." I heard someone say from around me and I halted to a pause.

What??

"Wow! So he got her first. I wish I had met her, I would have asked her to be mine." Another man's voice replied. My mouth parted in shock at the convenience they used to talking about me.

"That man does not deserve her at all. Maybe I should approach her. What do you think?" The first asked.

"Stop it! She looks quite decent to me and would not want to get involved in dirty things like that." The second man replied to him.

I listened to their conversation as one of them talked about woman who was in the same hall that had slept with more than five men in the hall and she was still married to her husband. Reason? Because she was the owner of the properties and her husband was greedy and couldn't bear to leave her. When I could no longer listen to them, I faced their direction and our gazes met. One of them raised his hand to greet me, I ignored him and walked away. I was not going to be a prey to men like these.

Where was Liam? I scanned across the hall and yet there was no sight of Liam. Where did he go to?

"Maurene ?" A familiar voice called out in surprise and I faced her. There she was, Evangeline looking as pretty as ever. I let my eyes run over her body and I knew exactly why she was the Luna Queen and Alex was obsessed over her. "Evangeline?" I did not know when her name dropped from my mouth before I shut it. "Luna Queen," I corrected myself and she chuckled even though she directed a playful glare at me. I had joked with her that I would be calling her Luna Queen and honestly, I was happy that they didn't probe me further for how I was familiar with the supernatural realm.

My heart leaped with gladness as she held me and pulled me into a hug. I let myself feel the warmth in her arms before we pulled away. She stared at my dress, smiling brightly.

"Everyone would know whose work this is, you know that?" She wiggled her brows and I blinked, surprised that she even knew about this too.

Who was Loretta?

I shrugged casually. She gasped at the way I did it so casually.

"Don't tell me you don't know who Loretta is?" She asked, glancing around to see if anyone was listening to our conversation and it might lead to me brinb imprisoned.

I shook my head. "No, Liam just-" I paused. I hadn't told her about Liam yet. In fact, she did not even know who my husband and I didn't tell her that I was divorced. We hadn't really gone that deep into things.

"Liam? Is that the name of your husband?" She asked, giving me smug smile as her eyes glinted with anticipation.

I wanted to say no since we were not officially and that she was my friend. I should be able to tell her but in this place, even the waiters are being paid to eavesdrop on conversation.

"Later, we will talk about it." I told her and she grinned.

"Definitely. Is he here at the party? Will I get to meet him?"

I bobbed my head gently, remembering that I still hadn't seen him anywhere. I looked around and caught Nathaniel's gaze on me and... Evangeline who seemed happy to be here. I arched a brow and he sipped his wine, looking away.

What was wrong with him?

I dragged my gaze back to Evangeline and beamed a tight smile. "Yes, it is likely but i don't see him anywhere in sight right now." I told her honestly.

Her mouth formed an 'oh'. We continued to talk about her dress and how Alex had insisted that she wore this particular. That prompted me to ask where he was, I was taken aback by how casually I had asked of him like he was some friend to

me.

She smiled sweetly. "Doing Alpha King's duties." She replied with pride in her words.

"And you? What are you doing?" I wiggled my brows as I looked down at her. She waved her hand in the air.

"No, I just want to be. Not like anyone know I am the Luna Queen. If they knew, they don't want to talk to me." She explained.

My brows twitched. "But you are the Luna Queen. They should want to flock around you." I argued.

She raised one brow. "You think so? What if as a Luna Queen, I did not want to do things that Luna Queens do?"

"Well, it is choice. You own the position but you being inactive does not speak well for you and not to talk of Alex." I said.

"You are wrong." Alex's voice came from nowhere and he appeared me before linking his arms around her waist and drawing her closer to him to plant a peck on her cheeks. She didn't fight him as she let him. He looked at me, that particular flash in his eyes was also there. What exactly had Loretta done to make men stare me like that?

"I would do anything for my Luna Queen even if that means holding Luna Banquet for her." He said, offering a smile that showed his affection for her. She shook her head as she blushed badly.

Gosh, I felt so jealous. Where was Liam?

"Anyway, you look in that dress." Alex complimented. I was surprised because Evangeline nodded alongside him, not even jealous at all.

Wow!

"Thank you." I said with a bright smile. It felt good to be complimented.

"What? you came here alone?" Alex asked, looking behind me.

I shook my head, angry that Liam was not here at all. How could he even leave me all by myself when he asked me to be close to him and not wander? "Not at all. I accompanied-"

"Maurene," Liam's voice cut in and I whirled around, suddenly happy that he came. "You-" He lifted his gaze to Alex and Evangeline and he froze in place instantly.

The smile on my lips faltered as I noticed this and tried to introduce them but the shocking look on Evangeline made me pause.

What was happening?
