Selene POV
I bit the insides of my mouth trying to fight the tears that settled in my eyelids.
I have to be strong… I can't be broken… it'll affect everyone else and that's a luxury I didn't have right now.
Xavier's face paled. Slowly, he reached for my hands, his eyes searching my face. "Tell me the truth, Selene. Tell me not just as Xavier but as the man whom you once loved and the father of your children. I know you much better than you think Noah knows you and I can tell you for free that something is wrong. Please…".
"Xavier!" I sighed looking away trying to remove my hands but he held on firmly
"I care about you, Selene, I still do, regardless of everything else. We are not enemies and I told you I'll spend the rest of my life making it up to you for all those years when I was stupid. I also care about the baby… because I'm going to be an uncle. I just want to help. Please…".
