The Bully's Obsession novel Chapter 65

　　 GRACIE

　　Amongst Hayden and Hazel stood the person I had seen last six years ago.

　　His elder brother Sebastian

　　I made my way towards them, my gaze traveled from Hazel, then towards Hayden, before it finally settled on him.

　　I stared at him for a moment...he changed since the time I had last seen him , If not for his personality I would have thought he looked a little nervous, well he had every right to feel so considering what he did to me.

　　"Mommy look, did you know I also had an uncle! " Hazel exclaimed breaking the silence.

　　My gaze found Hayden's for a moment, the corners of his lips quirked slightly in the tiniest bit of a smile..... A real one, it made my breath hitched until Hazel spoke again breaking our little trance.

　　"So will you go with me to see my dolls now? I got a new one last week, mommy even sewed a new cloth for it " she spoke with a proud excitement Sebastian didn't return.

　　He had a look the look of dismay that almost made me laughed aloud, that almost made me forget the fact that I still had scores to settle with him..

　　He swallowed hard when her fingers made a fist on his slacks , perhaps the initial uneasiness I had seen in his gaze hadn't been caused by me, he looked like he be anywhere but here at this moment..

　　I swore he even turned a little pale as he slowly unclasped her fingers , he was scared of a five year old? I found the idea funny.

　　"Fuck " The curse escaped his mouth when she kept insisting and wouldn't let go.

　　Hazel giggled aloud bringing both her palms to cover her mouth.

　　"oops uncle Sebastian said a bad word!"

　　Another curse escaped his mouth as he finally set some space between them.

　　Hayden glared hard at him and practically snatched Hazel to his side.

　　"I'll take my daughter out of here before you officially corrupt her!"

　　"I want breakfast! " she chirped as she skipped off with him hand in hand, I stared after them as they marched towards where I guessed to be the kitchen.

　　When they were both out of sight my attention directed at him.

　　We stared at each other for a moment, a look flashed across his gaze I could only assume to be guilt, at least he still had the grace to feel like that.

　　"You told me I wouldn't be found! " I hissed

　　He was quiet for a moment.

　　"I did what I thought was right for the both of you at that moment "

　　For the both of us?

　　" And suddenly you thought it was right to break the promise you made to me, I guess you also did what you assumed is right, then what about me! I could have been hurt or worse! "

　　"I knew he wasn't going to hurt you, and it was also your choice to come back here in that day, you could have chose not to return" he spoke quietly.

　　That was his excuse? He was passing the blame on me that it had been my fault to return?

　　"You used Ashley to deceive me, because you knew I'll definitely fall for it!.... and If I hadn't returned, then you would have just let it all go then? "

　　He held my gaze for a moment before giving a slight shrug .
