Pregnant I left him To His First Love novel Chapter 69

Chapter 69

Leila stares calmly at him, but her heart is slamming against her

ribcage but instead of feeling scared or upset about his psychotic plans to murder and cremate her mate, she feels her heart flush with warmth, feeling good to know he desires her this much.

This is the Tatum she knows, wild and deadly when it comes to protecting what he loves.

Maybe she can give him another chance?

Perhaps their baby can grow up, loved and adored by its mother and father.

She wriggles away from his hands and folds her arms against her chest, an angry pout on her lips.

“If you won’t let me go, it’s not only me you should be telling,” she replies in a curt tone.

“I understand. So you’re staying?”

Leila rolls her eyes at him. “It’s not like I have a choice, I don’t want you to kill my mate.”

Tatum would normally chuckle at a cheeky eye roll and a reply like that but his heart is still full of unease.

He has been afraid of her mate showing up for so long, and she just… agreed to stay? For real? Is this just her plan to delay, or she might… really have feelings for him, too?

She feels light, like a huge burden has been taken off her, thinking he seems to desire her as much as she desires him but her heart is restless, her mind a wobble of many different thoughts.

Could it be? that he has SOME feelings for her? She thought he had only Carmela in his heart all this time.

Does she dare to hope? Her heart is throbbing just for a sentence from him.

She should protect herself and the baby, but she can’t seem to say no to him.

Could she stay, knowing what it has been like for all these years?

She has to guard her heart carefully this time around if she is going to stay, she has been through a lot of pain and anguish in these last few weeks and that is not something she wants to experience again.

Tatum is about to kiss her when she blocks his lips with her hands. It’s not that she doesn’t want to kiss him or have sex but she’s not sure if it’s safe for the baby.

The baby….does she tell him? She has to, right? If she’s going to be staying, there’s no way it can remain a secret. If he wants her, he must want the baby as well.
