Chapter 144: Chapter 144

I squinted my eyes in pleasure and leaned in Wyatt's embrace while he strode toward the mansion, carrying me in bridal-style, his steps unhurried and steady.

Although our date had ended abruptly due to a certain jerk, being in Wyatt's presence and having Wyatt accompany me was the best feeling ever.

The sudden and familiar smooth honk of a car broke the calmness and attracted our attention.

I almost faltered when I saw Oswald's car sleekly drive into the compound before parking next to Wyatt's car.

I gritted my due to helplessness and mixed emotions. Can this person not be so shameless? Can he learn to give us our space? Can he?

Oswald alighted the car and strode toward us with his hands leisurely tucked in his trousers pocket.

I ran my hands through my hair and glared at him. Isn't this person remorseful that he put an end to our date? Why is he here again? To interrupt our space?

"You, what are you doing here again?" I inquired while glaring at Oswald, a surge of indignation overwhelming me. After all, Wyatt and I aren't in the restaurant anymore. Rather, we are in our matrimonial home. Did Oswald want to interrupt our love affair again?

Isn't Oswald remorseful that he already made us cancel our date? I suddenly felt like breaking down due to frustration.

Before I could control myself, I already broke down into tears. "Hubby, that person is a nasty bully." I sniffed pitifully and pointed at Oswald in grievance and displeasure.

Wyatt and Oswald's expressions broke, and a trace of panic immediately crept onto their faces.

Oswald stretched out his hand toward me and tried to coax me in a patient and gentle tone, "Maia, don't cry, okay? Okay? I'm sorry."

I sniffed and hiccuped pitifully, tears of sadness pouring down my face. "Why are you after me? You told me you don't like me. You told me you want to kick me out. You want me to become Lorelei's servant, isn't it?" I rebutted sadly, the remembrance making me break into more tears.

"Yet you'll still bully me with every chance you have got. Do you think because you're an alpha you can bully me as you want? I'm also a princess, okay? I'm a princess. You're a very shameless alpha." I bemoaned, tears repeatedly streaming down my eyes.

At this moment all the grievances in my mind erupted, and I couldn't help firing Oswald due to the accumulated anger.

Oswald stretched out his hands in defeat and nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice in concur. "Yes, I'm shameless. I'm a bad alpha, okay? You can beat me up, break my legs, and do as you want with me, Maia. I just want you to forgive me, alright? Maia, I'm sorry; I only want your forgiveness. I'll do everything you want. Just give me a chance. What can I do to get your forgiveness?" The more he spoke, the lower Oswald's voice was.

Upon hearing this, I raised my hands and wiped the tears away from my face with determination coursing through me. "I just want you to get lost," I scowled.

"I know you're messing up to cause a misunderstanding and separation of Wyatt and me, but we won't. I'd rather die than leave Wyatt. Wyatt saved my life. My life belongs to Wyatt." I asserted coldly and harshly.

Wyatt's eyes landed on me, the shock written in his eyes evident. I could see that Wyatt didn't expect me to go that far.

Not even did I expect myself to go that far, but there was something inevitable. It's best to clear something up in case they later become trouble in the future.

Wyatt purred and patted my back as if to comfort me.

Through the corner of my eye, I noticed Oswald's face turned pale. It was as if the whole person had just been dealt a big blow, making the whole person desolate as if he had turned 10 years older.

The sight of Oswald like this made my heart clench with deep pain.

Before I could process, my eyes had reddened and turned moist with tears.

Immediately, I began to recall that Oswald didn't mistreat me on purpose. Oswald had done everything he could to protect the pack, and I

My face turned pale, and I grabbed Wyatt's arm in realization. I didn't intend to say something so cruel to Oswald, but it had happened before I could stop myself. Why did I mess up again?

Wyatt's eyes flickered with worry amidst other mixed emotions that fell on Oswald. "Oswald..."

"I didn't intend to break you apart. I just wanted my mate; is that too much? I have sacrificed a lot; can't I just have the one thing I needed?" Oswald implored in a shaky and pitiful tone.

For the second or perhaps the third time, I saw tears roll down Oswald's face, and Oswald broke down.

The image of Oswald like this made unshed tears sting my eyes. I gripped my fingers and fidgeted. I didn't want to see Oswald like this. No, I would rather see him as the jerk alpha who always persisted stubbornly regardless of what.

I didn't want this man breaking down right in front of me. No, I don't

My lips parted to let out an apology, but before I could, Oswald fled from the compound, and his figure disappeared.

Seeing this, my heart skipped a beat. "Wyatt." I grabbed Wyatt's hand with a trembling fist. My body trembling and tears streaming down my eyes. "I am a bad person." I am a bad person. Why do I tend to hurt the people in my life? Why am I so cruel?

I hurt Rex after he placed a lot of hope in me. Now I've hurt Oswald also. Why is the world so cruel to me? Why does the moon goddess give me two mates when I'd end up hurting one for the other? Why?

I clung onto Wyatt's shirt and stared at Wyatt pitifully. "Wyatt, I'm so bad. Not only did I hurt Arya, I hurt Rex, and now it's Oswald. I didn't mean it. I really didn't mean to hurt Oswald." I sobbed. Although I'm infuriated at Oswald, it's just a bit. I didn't intend to let out such words to him.

Wyatt cupped my cheeks and placed a kiss on my lips. "I know, baby. You're not a bad person. You're the best person in the world, okay?" He tried to coax

I shook my head and sniffed pitifully. "But I... If I was a good person, I wouldn't have hurt the people around me." I bit my lower lip pitifully.

Wyatt stroked my face gently. "Baby, you're not a bad person. It's not your fault everything happened okay?" He lowered his head and placed a kiss on my lips. "I promise things will be fine soon. I promise I'll make them. Alright, don't be sad. Or hubby and our little angel will be sad." He coaxed patiently.

Upon hearing Wyatt's declaration, I couldn't help nodding in relief because I knew Wyatt was powerful. Moreover, Wyatt tends to fulfill his promise, and I have to be strong for our baby.

However, upon recalling Oswald's state, my heart skipped a beat. "Then what about Oswald?" I grabbed his hand pitifully.

"Instructed Asher to follow him. Asher will ensure he's fine." He consoled me

I burrowed into Wyatt's embrace immediately. "Wyatt, thank you. If it weren't for you..."

Before I could complete my statement, Wyatt captured my lips in a quick short kiss and gave me a stern gaze.

My lips couldn't help curving up slightly. I momentarily forgot that this man doesn't like hearing me appreciate him.

Before I could snap out of my thoughts, Wyatt strode into the mansion in a long and fast stride.

Wyatt quietly ascends the stairs at a quick and fast pace.

Hearing Wyatt's heartbeat made my body unconsciously relax. Regardless of how much I'll mess up, I knew I'd never mess up to him because he's my everything.

Wyatt placed me on the bed and strode into the bathroom. A few minutes later, Wyatt strides out of the bathroom and picks me up.

With a steady pace, he effortlessly walked into the bathroom. In the bathroom, there were lit-up scented candles with their aroma pervading the bathroom.

Flowers decorated the bathtub, and traces of essence oils popped up in the bathtub, etc., making my heart exceptionally warm.

I raised my neck and placed a kiss on Wyatt's cheeks. This man is one of the best things that ever happened to me. I truly felt that I didn't deserve him.

After bathing me, Wyatt returned to the room and placed me on the bed. Once Wyatt was done with the necessities, he cuddled me and rocked me to sleep.
