Divorced Ex-Luna Returns With Triplets
Chapter Fifty-Four

Maurene'S POV

Thankfully, the flight landed safely and Liam had already arranged for a cab that will take us to my house. Sitting in the front seat while Diana sat at the back with the kids with Liam coming behind us in another car, I stared outside through the window, still finding it hard to forget that man's eyes. He looked like someone who had hidden intent and I was attracted to him. He needed to ask Liam if he knew him.

Kylie kept talking about how she wished she could come to Atlanta every year and I shook my head, scoffing her daydream. She rambled on how she enjoyed every bits of it and Diana engaged her. We soon reached our house and we carried the bags inside, Liam settled the driver who thanked him and drove away. He looked up at me and we both entered, Diana had already taken the kids inside before.

I went to my room and dropped my bags before heading downstairs back, my new car key jingling in my hand and giving me the satisfaction of the sound I have always wanted to hear all my life. I smiled up at Liam. "Thank you so much. For the trip and everything!" I told him and he arched a brow. "What?" I asked.

"You have been thanking me since we left Atlanta. I'm getting tired of it already." he groaned, shaking his head and pinching the bridge of his nose as if he was some sort of pain.

"Are you alright?" I asked him, moving closer to him.

He dropped his hand, waving it in the air. "I just need some rest and it would be gone."

"Are you sure?" worry formed lines between my brows.

He sighed. "Yes, Maurene and now don't worry yourself. Work start soon. We will have to start supervising the project especially that of Mr. Galen's." he informed me and I straightened up. Gosh, can I work without having to work?

"Alright if you say so." I pursed my lips before remembering I was yet to thank him for the car. "Liam," I called his name and he looked up to me with clear eyes.

"Yes?"

"For the car. Thank you. I truly appreciate it. I know you will say it is becoming too much but I still have to thank you for it. You made me so happy even though... Just thank you! For the publicity." I said with sincerity. Fortunately, the post about Liam and I being loved up had turned the tables. They didn't see as someone who seduced her way into Liam's heart.

The headlines were now; Liam FERDINAND AND AN UNKNOWN LADY LOOKING SO LOVED UP IN RECENT PICTURES.

I think Liam hired some people to comment because there were some comments that hinted that I was his secretary. I did not want to be demanding because I did not like the spotlight. I was not one of the people that fed off the spotlight but at the same time, he had done so much for me.

"You are welcome. I would have loved to stay but I have some things to finish up. Bye. Take care and rest well." I froze in place when his lips connected with my forehead. I blinked twice, thrice, not knowing to react as he picked up his suit and walked out of the place. Liam pecked me on the forehead and I have never had an issue with that but this particular one felt too personal. Way too personal.

"Diana, hope the kids are settled?" I asked her and she bobbed her head.

"Kylie fell asleep not long ago." she informed me. I shook my head, she was busy talking in the cab and now fallen asleep so quick.

I let out a deep exhale and went to my room. I needed to start arranging some things back to their space. I sat down and opened the bags I had brought back. Liam had allowed me to get some clothes and shoes for myself. I used my money by the way.

I placed the shoes on the rack and got busy with arranging the dress. My eyes caught a wine box hidden between my dresses and my brows creased closer in confusion. Opening it, my wedding ring came into sight and I gasped. I was shocked, frozen to the spot as I stared at the glittering ring in my hand. How come I had kept it?

The ring was so pretty and elegant.

A small smile curved on my lips on how happy I had been when Nathaniel placed the ring on my finger, vowing words he went against himself. I had been an excited young lady who finally got her crush to marry her. The way I had squealed the I do, snickers had sounded from the background but I ignored them, focusing on the man before me except he had planned to break my heart from the very beginning.

I closed the box, hiding it in the deepest corner of my wardrobe. The moment I pushed the drawer in, the door creaked open and Kai appeared beside me. I rose to my feet and watched him walk toward me, his face blank as usual. "Kai." I called his name and his footsteps stopped before me. "What do you want?" I asked him so sweetly.

He pursed his lips and immediately, I knew what he wanted to ask but I let him.

"I want to see my daddy. Uncle Liam is not my daddy." he told me.

It was at that instance I realized that there was no way they would accept Liam even if we get married legally and really.

"Fahrenheit, we've spoke about this and I have told you that your father cannot-"

"I will search for my father myself if you don't, mom." he cut me off and my heart slipped to my throat.

I did not know but what I remembered was that I didn't respond and he walked out of the room. The aura that oozed out of him was a great deal of Alpha authority and for another time I was scared that I was starting to lose my son. I remembered Grayson's words. He is an Alpha. He needs his Alpha to train him and his wolf is starting to want more power.

I need to introduce him to Nathaniel, sooner or later. That thought scared the living daylight out of me.
