Bummer, Mom!

Love.

Ellis smiled at me and kissed my neck. | felt a shiver run through my body. He finally put me down after | insisted and entwined our fingers. He couldn’t help but kiss my hand.

Now, tell me what happened,”

David tricked me,” | sighed.

That scourge,” he murmured. | giggled, remembering that was what CC called David. | told Ellis everything that happened. To say he was mad would be an understatement. He was fuming.

“Why didn’t you tell me about David’s intention towards me?” | asked seriously. He squinted his eyes, wanting me to elaborate, “That he was using me for my money,” | said. His face fell, and | saw regret in his eyes.

CC can’t keep her mouth shut,” he muttered.

Don’t blame CC for telling me, Ellis. | confronted David about it. He wouldn’t admit it, but it was true,”

He sighed and pulled me in his arms.

“| know how to care for him. | didn’t want to hurt you,” he said, “I wasn’t going to let him succeed in his plans anyway.”

1

You still should have told me,”

| squeezed his hand, silently thanking him for looking out for me.

Is there anything else | should know about David?” | asked. He and Michael exchanged a glance. | crossed my arms against my chest

and glowered at him,

Tell me,” he knew something more.

‘He’s a gambler. He is knee-deep in debt, and his father and grandmother refuse to help him,” he informed me. | was shocked. David Kofflin is a gambler. But he was so proper. How many things didn’t | know about that man?

[hit his shoulder, angry at him for not telling me sooner. Ellis feigned pain and pouted, rubbing his shoulder.

“You should have told me, Ellis,”

“| was going to. | was just waiting for the right time, but so much happened in a short time and today has been... Busy,” he said. He was right. Ellis and | didn’t get a proper chance to converse after everything.

Love, you're trending,” Michael said. | narrowed my gaze, trying to see what he was showing me on his phone. He threw his phone at Ellis. There were pictures of me at the country club earlier, fuming mad as | shouted at David.

11

I'm not marrying David,” | heard myself in the short video clip.

Love Chasia and David Kofflin scene. That was written on top in all caps. The other one said a physical confrontation between the newly engaged love birds. Does David Kofflin hit women? So tacky.

There were so many labels. | couldn’t scroll anymore.

“4

Did that bas ta rd hurt you?!” Ellis growled. | rolled my eyes,

Would | let him? | put him in his place,”

He was relieved and smirked faintly at me.

Of course you did,” he was proud of me. However, a scowl appeared

on his handsome face,

“| don’t like how they make it seem like it was a lover’s spat,” Indeed, some reporters made it seem like | said what | said in anger.

11

I'll write an official statement about it on my social networks. It will clear it up,” | said, assuring Ellis.

Michael, talk to our people. | don’t want my lady associated with that man in any way,” Ellis ordered. Michael saluted like he was a soldier. | blushed when he said the words, my lady. Ellis noticed me blushing and placed a lingering kiss on my forehead. A delightful shiver went down my spine.

“| miss my babies. Can we go and see them?” | asked, and he nodded. He led me towards his car.

Michael got in the car with Luis. Ellis was driving us from his pack into the city as | told him in detail what happened.

He promised to make sure the rumors about our engagement come to an end. He looked straight as he drove. He was thinking deeply. | wonder what about because | couldn’t decipher his emotions as | did before. | saw him take a deep breath,

11

I'm sorry for how | reacted when heard about the engagement. | should be more sapient, but | was quick to anger,” he said gently. | smiled at him. | was happy that we were together and talking like this. He took accountability for his earlier actions and promised to do better in the future. Ellis had changed a lot in those years we were apart. He had matured and was manlier.

| couldn't help but stare at him. My heart was erratic.

Our eyes locked, and he smiled at me. | lay my head on his shoulder, and he caressed my jaw.

“Why were you in the pack?” | asked. He was hesitant to answer, and | raised my eyebrows. What could have happened? “Just... work, baby,” he said. | could feel that he was keeping something from me. | was about to ask when he said,

“|

Cayden lost a tooth,” he was distracting me.

Did the tooth fairy visit and leave him five dollars?” | asked. My children get excited when they lose their tooth. They do this thing where they stay up to capture the tooth fairy but end up falling asleep. Ellis stiffened, and | raised my head from his shoulder to look

at him.

11

How much did you put under his pillow?”

‘Um. | didn’t know it was supposed to be five dollars,”

“It is... At most ten. Now, how much did you put for him?”

He gritted his teeth as if fearing my reaction.

‘Ellis?” | called in a warning tone.

A hundred dollars?” he confessed. | gaped. We are going to be the most hated parents in their class.

| didn’t know,”

“| don’t care. Find a way to take back the money and give him ten

dollars,”

11

He won't agree. He was so excited in the morning, and | don’t want to be the uncool Dad, you do it.”

Ji

Because I’m a bummer mom?!”

Aren't you? Cay and Lara talk, you know,” he gave me a look. | knew those eyes. They were judging me. | couldn't believe it! My children totally think | was a bummer. | already saw where this was going. Ellis would be the fun Dad who would give in to their wimps, and I'd be the uncool mom who blocks it. So unfair!

Let's not take the money from him,” he shrugged. | explained to himMaterial © of NôvelDrama.Org.

the purpose of taking the money back, and he nodded. We agreed.

11

Fine. I'll tell him the tooth fairy made a mistake and is coming to

take the money back,” Ellis wasn’t impressed by me right then.

Ellis drove us to his penthouse building. It was new,

Is this where you stay? What happened to the other one?” | asked. He held my hand as we went to the elevator.

“That one was too depressing for me without you. We had so many memories there,”

We arrived upstairs, and immediately, our kids ran to us. Seumo and Melody were already there.

“4

Mom, the tooth fairy left me this,” Cayden said, waving the hundred- dollar bill. He was excited indeed.

‘I'm not taking it from him. Look how happy he is... I’m not a monster, Love,’ he mind-linked.

‘Coward!’ | shouted.

11

“Bummer, mom!’ he chuckled. He carried our little daughter to a couch. | faced my son,

| want to talk to you about something, baby,”

What is it, mommy?” he looked worried.

It's about the money you received from the tooth fairy. Honey, she made a mistake, and we have to return it,” | said gently. He shook his head stubbornly,

“No! It is mine. I’m not returning it, Mommy... So uncool!” he shouted and ran upstairs. Yes, | was the uncool mom, the bummer, mom. One of us had to be that parent, and | was. | glared at Ellis, but he smiled

sheepishly at me. Telling me silently that he would talk to him.

The door opened, and Jace and Lilac walked in,

“4

Ciao! Family,” | gasped and ran into her arms like a child. She chuckled and hugged me.

I'm so glad you're back. | missed you,” | cried.

| missed you too. We have so much to catch up on,” she squealed. Yep, my Lila was back. | kissed Jace too and exchanged pleasantries.

We were later joined by Michael, and his new mate Todd, who was so lovely. He was bubbly, and chatty, and radiated confidence and flair. Todd was the opposite of his mate.

Then, Zeyneb and Luis walked in. They were giggling about

something. The house was full of warmth. Something delicious was cooking in the kitchen. Ellis was giving me the s exy eyes again. | felt a shiver go down my spine, and Vee howled in happiness.
