Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 53

Chapter 53

Tatum squints his eyes at Leila, surprised by what she just did.

“You did that on purpose! Tatum can you see? Did you see what she just did? She hates me,” Carmela cries out, tugging on Tatum’s sleeve.

“Calm down Carmi, I’m sure it was just a mistake,” Tatum replies, even if he knows the truth.

Leila dropped the cake on purpose and she wasn’t really trying to hide. it, even though she’s acting like she’s shocked.

What has gotten into her?

He has never seen her this….he doesn’t want to call her crafty but that is exactly how she is right now.

“I swear….it was a mistake,” Leila pouts, her eyes flushing with pity. Why would I drop the cake you baked for me out of your pure love? I’m sure you put so much effort into it.”

Leila puts her hands to her chest. “I’m really sorry Carmi….I know I was mean to you but I was just bitter, you are right, let’s put it all behind us. Let’s bake another cake, we can even bake it together.”

Carmela instantly looks puzzled by Leila’s reaction, her mouth falling slightly open.

“It’s okay, I just want us to be friends again,” Carmela says in a more calm tone. “We can always bake another one.”

Leila’s expression immediately shifts from apologetic to ice cold when Carmela says that, shocking Tatum and Carmela.

“You’re not the only one who can put up a silly pathetic act Carmela. I don’t point it out because there is no need. I don’t want anything from you and even if I did, it would be for you to help me beg Tatum to sign

my divorce papers so I can get out of your lives,” Lolla’s voice is calm. yet cold as ice.

Tatum fools pain fiddling with his heart when Lella breaks the news to Carmela. He has avoided that conversation with Carmela whenever she asked when he is going to divorce Lella but now Carmela knows he is the one holding back.

Leila is putting him in an even tighter spot.

Carmela’s eyes stay full of shock, her mouth agape and she’s unable to come back with a reply as Leila stands up, leaving her and Tatum at the table.

It’s the eve of Carmela’s welcome back party and the whole pack is abuzz with joy and merriment, rumours that the Alpha may engage her at the party is rampant in the air,

Lella feels bitterness swirling in her gut, sitting in the back of the car driving her to the party, staring at Tatum’s text.

She knows when Tatum looks at her, he doesn’t see a woman he can love or spend the rest of his life with, all he sees is a perfect Luna, someone who fits a role in his life so well that he is not eager to lose.
