My Step-Dad Is My Mate novel Chapter 35

"Come on. Just a little farther." I said as I jumped over a fallen log.

"Where are you taking us?" My mother asked.

"That's what I wanna know.." Aiden muttered while he trudged behind lazily. Let's just say he's a little cranky because I woke him up from his nap.

Kaden rolled his eyes and continued to walk beside me with no complaints. Since our date last night, he's been in a particularly good mood, but He too, had no idea where I was taking all of them but it was nothing bad, actually it was to help all of us.

The date we had was great, but nothing out of the way or spectacular a. A simple dinner and a walk around the Riverlane Park (I don't know if that's a real place.)

He had told me he wasn't big on romance but I didn't mind, I'm just glad we had no disturbances or any unwanted surprises.

I nudged Kaden's shoulder and he looked over at me. "Thank you for not complaining like these two."

"Heard that." Aiden said and I chuckled.

"You're welcome" Kaden replied, "But I am curious just as much as they are. Where are you taking us?"

I shrugged and didn't reply as we trudged on.

"Here we are," I said as we stepped into my Haven, "This is a special place to me. I've known it for years and it's always given me...solace and comfort." I finished, as I gently brushed my fingertips along the petals of the white roses.

"This place is beautiful." My mother muttered.

I nodded proudly as they stood admiring the large space. Except Aiden since he's already been here once.
