CHAPTER FIFTY FOUR
Alyssa started screaming at Liam like a mad woman, and Liam just kept on looking at her. He didn’t know what her problem was. Well, he did, but he just chose not to acknowledge it.
She started telling him that she wanted to see her child immediately, and Liam stopped her to inform her that Timothy was his son too, but she wasn’t having it at all.
Because of the way she was shouting, the guards and servants around were glancing over at them to be sure that everything was fine. Liam was starting to feel really embarrassed and angry. He didn’t like the way she’s acting, and he knew that there was only one way to shut her up.
He was going to ask her to go with him. That wasn’t his initial plan, but because of the way she was acting crazy around him, he had no choice but to take her along with him.
Before he decided to ask her, he started thinking of ways to let out his pent-up anger. His body was so filled with rage that he was shaking with anger. He started searching everywhere with his eyes and when he saw that nothing in the room was going to help him, he left the room immediately, leaving Alyssa with her thoughts.
Alyssa wanted to run after him, but she thought against it. She decided to use the opportunity to check the things that he packed. She started walking towards the servants and guards that were still arranging the loads. Likewise, she didn’t know how she was going to distract them, so she just went out and walked away from them. But before she walked away, she made sure that they saw her leaving, so they would know that she actually left.
She waited outside for about a minute before she walked back in. When she got in, she told the guards that Liam was calling them outside. They exchanged a weird look before they gave a slight shrug. They went outside and Alyssa was left with the servants. Likewise, they were already done with the arrangements, so they just left on their own.
Alyssa saw that as an opportunity to check the loads. She scanned the premises before moving closer to where they kept Timothy’s belongings. She opened the bag, and she saw all his things that were kept in her house inside the bag. Not only that, but she continued searching and when she heard footsteps, she stopped and walked away from the loads.
Likewise, she saw that Liam came back with the guards by his side and he had a massive frown on his face. Not only that, but she frowned back, and he raised an eyebrow because he was taken aback by that action.
“You told the guards that I was calling them?” He asked, and Alyssa looked away from him. She waited for two seconds before she decided to reply to him.
She turned her head sideways and glared at him. “I thought you were going to need them.” Alyssa said, and she looked away from him again.
Liam shook his head unbelievably, and he continued looking at her. With the awkward silence that was suddenly in the space, the guards left the place quietly, even without Liam dismissing them.
“Where is my son? And where did you get all these things?” She asked and pointed to the bags that had his things. Hinged squinted his eyes at her, finally knowing why the guards came to him with the question of him needing them.
“I don’t know.” Liam simply said, and he was about to push past him when Alyssa blocked his way. She was interested in giving up at all. She had made up her mind that she was going to get answers that day.
“You don’t know what? You don’t know where my son is?” She asked while shaking her head. She was really disappointed in him. How could a father not know where his son was?
“I know where Timothy is. I am just saying that I don’t know how I got the things. Well, I actually do, but you don’t have to know that.” He said, and he didn’t wait for any reply from Alyssa. He was even too angry to even answer her.
“Liam….” She said, and Liam started looking at her. He finally decided to tell her that she was going to follow him because he couldn’t just take it any more.
“You want to know where your son is?” He asked and without waiting for a reply, he said, “fine, you will. You are following me now.”
Alyssa was staring at him, waiting for him to tell her that it was a joke because she didn’t expect him to just let her follow him like that. She had even been thinking of ways to convince him to allow her to follow him, so she was really surprised when he just agreed like that.
“Are you serious?” She asked him with wide eyes, and Liam grumbled under his breath. Alyssa was certainly getting on his nerves without even realising it.
She was still looking at him, waiting for him to answer and out of frustration, he gave her a small nod.
Alyssa was so happy about that, that she didn’t even know when she ran to him and hugged him. He didn’t know what to do about it, but he didn’t push her away.
He just stood there, with his hands by his side, waiting for her to realise her mistake. She removed her hands from his waist, and she cleared her throat uncomfortably.
“I’m already ready.” Alyssa said when she pulled out of the hug and Liam was a bit surprised. He had thought that she was going to pack some things at least, so she won’t be stranded and blame him for it.
As if she heard what he was thinking, she told him that she was going to pack some things and she left instantly.
Liam kept on watching her as she walked away from him. He was sure that she thought that she was following him to see her child, but she doesn’t even know what he has in plan for her.
A few minutes later, everything was ready and so was Alyssa. She was really excited because she believed that the trip was just something that the both of them needed.
She felt like after the travelling was over, she was going to finally see her son and at the same time, make things right with Liam.
Before leaving, she thought of seeing Vale before they left, but Liam didn’t let her get the chance to do that.
He asked her to get inside the vehicle, and they were about to start their journey, when Alyssa told him thank you for allowing her to go with him to see her son. That made him feel very uncomfortable because he thought that if she knew why he was doing that, then she wouldn’t even think of thanking him.
Liam ignored the thanks, and he told her that they needed to start the journey fast. She gave him a small smile before she obeyed.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
His heart clenched against his chest because he was a bit sad that the poor woman didn’t know what he had to stall for her.
