When Phoenix started making fun of Alaric along with the others, he stood there looking embarrassed.
"Phoenix, you too," he whispered, fixing his gaze on her beaming face.
It was too shameful to talk about their private times before their kids, so to avoid it, Alaric simply excused himself.
Phoenix watched him before turning her gaze at her girls and father.
"Your father is a shy man," she muttered.
"Indeed. But he wasn't shy when he left impregnating you," Andreas sneered, still not over the fact that everything was fine between them.
"By the way, how did Lucian let you go alone? I expected to see him with you. And what about Drake? Do you think he would be fine with you not around?" Phoenix inquired after heartfelt laughter.
With a sneer, Ariana shook off her smile and leaned back on the couch.
"He better stay away from me," she said, finally feeling at ease without him being around.
