Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 6

Chapter 6

The rich smell of coffee and excess milk wafts Into Leila’s nostrils and her sullen gaze shifts from the mug to his handsome face but she doesn’t reply to him not knowing how to feel. Tatum’s fingers grazes her arm as he pulls away and his mere touch sends tingles of pleasure through her body.

Bringing her coffee every morning in bed was his usual routine, something she has grown used to but why still bring her coffee this morning when he spent the night in the arms of his love?

Did he even remotely think about how she must have felt yesterday when he made that decision? Were her feelings something that mattered to him or was she just an object that he took pity on and had fun with while he searched for his true mate?

“Earth to Leila,” Tatum snaps his finger and his voice brings her back to reality.

Leila gulps, feeling her heart pound with raw nervousness and she drops the mug on the bedside.

It’s now or never.

If she wants to rid herself of this agonising ache hammering at her heart, the crippling feeling of loss marauding all over her, she has to tell him that she wants a divorce.

“Tatum, 1-” She pauses, seeing his cool grey eyes watch her calculatingly which makes her heart thud uncontrollably.

“I want to go and see your dad this weekend, I miss him,” she says frantically with at pounding heart, unable to bring herself to ask for a divorce.

She just cannot bring herself to say it, she thought she could but her heart is not ready to lose him, to say goodbye to him, she just cannot utter the words.

Tatum squints at her, noticing the spike in her heart rate. He drops on the bed and leans close to her, his face a mere inch from hers. His delicious smell and the closeness of his body comforts Leila despite the fact that he is the cause of her discomfort.

She wishes she could just hug him and cry into his chest, beg him to choose her and give their marriage a chance, to tell him that she loves him and only needs an opportunity to show him just how much but she can’t, he was never meant to be hers.

“I’m sure father misses you too, you haven’t just been the best wife to me, you have been a perfect Luna to us all,” he replies, flashing her a gentle smile.
