Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 36

Chapter 36

“For the last time Carmi, Tatum and I had an argument but it wasn’t about you,” Leila replies to Carmela, stirring her tomato sauce.

Just like she expected, Tatum never returned to the room last night and he left the house very early this morning without saying a word to her.

She plans to apologise to him when he gets back, bringing up divorce is a big deal and she honestly did not expect him to refuse outrightly.

Even if it’s just because of the Luna position, it shows he values her in some way..

“Are you sure Leila? Because he has been so nice to me and spends all his time with me, I hope it’s not making you jealous, because there really is no need to be. Tatum and I are just friends,” Carmela replies with an innocent smile on her face and glee in her tone

Just friends? Leila resists the urge to scoff at Carmela, turning off the cooker so her spaghetti is not overcooked,

There was a time she used to cook for everyone in her household but now she only cooks for herself, her taste in food has changed because of pregnancy and no one seems to notice or even care.

Carmela continues when Leila doesn’t reply.

“I know how it looks Leila, but I don’t want to hurt you or chase you out of this house, I don’t even want to be Luna, I just want to remain close to Tatum…so I can heal…..”

“You’re beginning to sound like a broken record Carmi, seriously I get it, you need Tatum, it’s okay.” Leila replies plainly but it’s far from okay.

No matter how hard she tries, she just can’t wrap her head around the fact that she has to be comfortable with another woman always fawning over her husband and yet claim to not want him.

Carmela looks away and frowns when she hears footsteps coming towards them, she turns her gaze to the door, knowing who it is. She counts down with her fingers and as soon as the knob turns, she turns to Leila.

“I heard the werewolf games are in a few weeks, how will you participate without your wolf?” Carmela asks, pitching her voice high enough for the person behind the door to hear and when the door opens, Adaline is fuming.

“What did you just say? She doesn’t have a wolf?!”

Leila turns and when she sees the deep hatred and vivid anger in Adaline’s eyes, her heart is too scared to pound against her chest that it just sinks straight to her stomach.

Her lips tremble under Adaline’s mean and scornful gaze but she cannot find the words to reply.
