Reclaiming My Broken Luna (Astrid and Killian) novel Chapter 32

Killian’s POV

I twirled the pasta with my fork with a bored expression on my face. I had no appetite to eat, but my mother forced me to join her for dinner.

I thought she had something important to say to me, but I was surprised when I saw that Giselle would be joining us for dinner.

My Beta had mentioned to me before that my mother and Giselle are getting along pretty well.

I also noticed that the two of them have been spending so much time together in the last week. I just pretended that I hadn’t noticed this and busied myself for work.

There are a lot of things I had to handle anyway so I got no time to spare for other matters.

“Killian, you’ve gotten so thin. What happened?” Mother sounded so alarmed as she looked at my face. “Giselle, why are you not taking care of my son?”

I was about to tell her that I was fine. I have just become busy lately, but I was stopped short when she suddenly asked Giselle a weird question.

Take care of me? Why is it Giselle’s job to take care of me?

Giselle softly smiled and dabbed a napkin on her mouth as she slowly faced my mother. “I’m sorry Mother, I’ve been doing everything I can to support him. Killian, are you not eating the meals that I have sent for you?” Giselle questioned me.

I was tongue-tied as my eyes darted back and forth between my mother and Giselle. “What is going on here?” I asked them cluelessly.

I already had a bare guess of what could be happening here, but I’m still not sure if that is it. I hope it’s not it.

Giselle has been sending me freshly cooked meals on time in my office and she even has snacks brought in between meals for me. Sometimes, she would also send along little things as a token for me.

I never placed any meaning on that. I thought she was just sending those things because she’s just genuinely concerned about my well-being.

How could I pay attention to it when she never personally delivered anything? Her assistant would come to my office to deliver everything on her behalf like it wasn’t something personal.

If only I knew that they had been planning something like this behind my back, I wouldn’t have accepted anything under her name.
