Chapter 70: Chapter 70

"Or who knows that he came to check on her when no one was around?" Wylder suggested. "We all know what kind of person Colton is. He stays away from the limelight." Wylder tried to convince her, but deep down he was worried too. "I will use my power to find him, okay? "Calm down, now." He broke the hug, wiping her tears.

‘You can find someone who is missing, Human. Not someone who is hiding willingly. And Colton is smart; if he is really hidden, finding him is not going to be a piece of cake.' Night said.

"Here, drink some water," Wylder said as he was passing a glass of water towards her.

"I heard that you got a breeder for your heir," Eden stated after drinking the water.

"Yes, I did," Wylder said and waited for her to say anything, but Eden didn’t object. She knew that Wylder wasn’t a kid, so she didn’t decide to poke her nose into his decision.

"I hope you get her background checked before releasing all your seeds inside her because the last thing we want is to get blackmailed by that breeder."

"Hm," Wylder hummed.

"You’re hiding something from me, aren’t you?" Eden asked because she didn’t miss observing how he was looking at someone else when Tiara was in his arms. "Tee told us that you both are second-chance mates, but for some reason, I can’t see that happiness in your eyes."

‘Of course, she would have told them. She couldn’t keep her mouth shut.' Wylder thought, knitting his eyebrow.

"Mom, I want to stay alone for a while," Wylder spoke, and Eden nodded her head.

"Sure! Remember that both your moms will always support you. We both love and adore Tee a lot, but your happiness matters to us the most." She added with a smile before leaving his office.

Ede had barely left his office when there was another knock. He knew this was Tiara by her smell, but he wanted to stay alone.

At the same time, he wanted to hear what she had to say.

"Come in." He said, and she walked in confidently as if she owned this office.

"Wild," She spoke and tried to reach near him again when Wylder stepped back, signaling her to stay away from him. "I know you’re mad at him. After what I did, you have every reason to. I don’t know where to start, Wild. But Moon Goddess heard my prayers by pairing us." She said it with a smile. Wylder bit his lips from not smiling at her words. He wanted to hear those words from her for a long time. He didn’t remember the way his heart fluttered at anyone’s voice before.

"How about I start questioning and you answer those questions?"

"Sure!! Go ahead."

"Why were you looking for me?" Wylder asked

"Because I… I regretted every word that I said to you. I regret breaking your heart. I regretted not stopping you from leaving. I regretted…"

"What about Theodore? Didn’t you want him in your life?" He asked, cutting him in between.

"About him." Tiara made a disgusted face. She wondered where to start, and then she spoke after a pause: "Waiting for him to love me was the biggest mistake that I ever made." But he never wanted me." With that, she told him about his visit to her penthouse a day after he had left her and also about the conversation that she had had with Theodore.

Wylder could relate to that conversation because he had heard a part of it but was left in the middle as he could hear what was going to happen next.

"He didn’t want me, Wild, and even if he wanted to have me back then, I was going to reject his offer. Because the moment I kissed him to feel whether I had any feelings for him or not, it was all blank. I didn’t realize it then, but after a while, I understood that I had already moved on in my life and had fallen in love with you without realizing it." Tiara looked at him with her hopeful green eyes, thinking that he might kick his anger out of the window after learning that she loved him.

But nothing happened.

Wylder’s expression was still cold.
