Chapter 65.2

Chapter 65.2
We walked to our kitchen, and Erik cooked me some of my favorite meals. I just sat there quietly and watched his every move. The delicious smell of the food he cooked wandered around the kitchen for a few minutes. The smell was so delicious that it made my stomach grumble. After he served the food in front of me, I happily gobbled the food he cooked. The taste was so delicious that it made me hum happily. Erik sat beside me with a plate of food for himself and happily ate beside me. 

I was okay and enjoying my food, but I suddenly remembered my childhood. "What's wrong?" Erik asked with a worried face. He must have felt what I was feeling in our mate's pull. When Erik's hand touched my back, my tears started to fall. 

"I remembered our child," I said while sobbing. Erik hugged me immediately and whispered reassuring words into my ears until I calmed down. "I'm sorry, I just remember our child sometimes," I said while wiping my tears. 

"It's okay, my love. No one can blame you for feeling that way. I also remember our child from time to time," he said and hugged me tightly again. 

"Oh, moon goddess, thank you for this wonderful mate," I prayed and hugged Erik back. After calming down, we both finished our food quietly and went to our room. I took a bath and changed into clean clothes while Erik did the same after me. When Erik came out of our walk-in closet, he was fully dressed, and I looked at him with a confused look. "Where are you going?" I asked. 

He smiled and walked towards me, who was lying on the bed. "I will visit with my mother and talk with her," he said seriously but smiled afterward. I nodded at him and he smiled sweetly at me. Erik kissed my head and left the room. 

It was two or more hours before Erik returned, and he looked happy. They must have talked and fixed all the misunderstandings. I smiled sweetly at Erik and closed the book that I was reading. He came to me and kissed me lightly on the head. He then changed his clothes and lay down beside me. I cuddled closely to Erik while he was still reading some of his paper works. I was about to sleep when I got curious about their talk. 

"How's Ellie?" I asked.

"She grew thin, and I was mad at myself when I saw her frail body," He replied.

"What did you both talk about?" I asked softly.

"I told her everything that has happened, and she got worried about you," he said and turned his head to look at me. 

"I'll visit her tomorrow morning and ask her to join us for breakfast. She must have been so shocked," I said worriedly.  

"I asked for her forgiveness, and we both cried earlier," Erik said while laughing. 

"Really? That's going d. At least you both cleared the misunderstanding," I replied and cuddled closer to Erik. I closed my eyes, imagined the warmth I had last felt with my child, and fell asleep. 

When I woke up in the morning, Erik went to his office, and I finished taking a shower. I planned on visiting Ellie and inviting her for breakfast. I ensured I looked okay in front of the mirror and left our room to visit Ellie. 

I opened the room and saw Farkas standing outside my room, guarding me. I smiled at him and he greeted me respectfully. I walked straight to Ellie's room while Farkas followed from behind. I knocked on her door, and she slowly opened the door for me. She was shocked to see me but immediately changed it into a smile. 

She opened the door wide enough for me to come in. She offered me a chair and served me some tea. She sat in front of me, and I smiled bashfully at her. "Hi," I said softly. 

"Hello, how are you, sweetheart?" She asked, and I reached out for her hand on the table.

"I am getting by. How about you? I heard you haven't left the room?" I asked. 

Ellie smiled awkwardly and avoided eye contact. "I can't believe what I heard. All this time, it was him, and I let my son follow that bastard around. I could feel what my mate would feel about his betrayal. He was like a brother to him," Ellie said while looking outside the window. 

"You, are you okay?" Ellie asked me while looking at me with a serious face. 

"I am okay now, it was hard at first, but thanks to Erik being patient with me, I managed to pull through. There were times that I remember the warmth of my child that I last felt before they took the baby away from me. The child's presence on my stomach remains that sometimes I think it is still here," I said while caressing my stomach. 

"It still pains me but not like the first time I closed myself to the world, but everyone helped me to go back," I said while smiling bitterly at Ellie, and she held my hand and squeezed it tightly.
