Chapter 352
Dane jolted to his feet, rushed forward, and took the hids from Evander.
Hi, Dane… missed me? Evander asked, wearing a smile. Dane turned to me; I was still glaring at Evander, anger coursing through my bones.
Dane read the room and faced the kids. Come with me… I think Mama has some unfinished business with your uncle.”
“Unfinished business? Evander asked, raising a brow, I was sure he was feigning confusion.
Dane walked out of the room with the kids. “Let’s get something to eat… I’m sure you both are starving.”
“Yes, Dad, Seraphina said as they walked out, but Tristan stayed back.
Tristan kept his eyes on me. I knew he would have sensed that I was tense. He is just as sensitive as Dane when it comes to me.
Why have you come? I asked as I got to my feet.
Evander stepped inside. “Aurora… Why are you asking such a question?”
I furrowed my brows and stepped back as he approa “Stay away from me…” I growled.

Evander gulped and lifted his hands. “Fine…” He rested his back
on the wall. “What is the problem with you?” noveldrama
I gritted my teeth at him. “Problem with me?” I asked and chuckled.
I nodded and crossed my arms over my chest. “Fine… let’s start by asking you a few questions then.”
Evander nodded. “Cool… but understand that I never expected this warm welcome from you, Aurora… I thought I would surprise you by bringing the kids after being away for so long because of the family business… but here you are…”
“Cut it,” I said, raising my hand to his face. “I will do the talking.”
I walked to the table and reached for the telephone as I dialed a number. “Hello, Piper… bring the files concerning Evander.”
I turned to Evander and he smiled. “Piper..
I furrowed my brow as I put down the phone. “You have an issue with her?”
“Nothing… I’ve missed her.”
I narrowed my gaze at him and then looked away as I waited for
Piper. I was going to expose him today and stop his acting.
After a few minutes, Piper rushed in and handed me the papers.
“Here. Aurora.”
I placed them on the table and spread them out. “How do you explain these?”
“Well… let me take a look…” Evander said as he approached me.
Piper jumped and turned around when she heard his voice. “You?” Piper asked, shock written all over her face.
She faced me. “Him?”
I nodded and turned to the papers. “See this… and this… how do you explain all of this?”
“Hi,” I heard him say, and I furrowed my brow. That was not the reply I expected from him.
I turned to see him and Piper lost in each other’s gaze. “Hey,” Piper replied, more harshly back at him.
I cleared my throat and he turned to me. I gestured to the papers on the table.
Evander turned to them, narrowed his eyes, and rushed up to them, running his hand over them desperately. “How did you find these?”
I balled my fists as I watched him. It was evident that Evander
was guilty as charged.
He is a traitor… my own blood. I sniffed as my eyes burned. They were welling up with tears once again.
“Evander,” I growled loudly. He turned to me and I raised my hand, slapping him straight across the face. “How dare you betray me this way?”
Piper gasped and covered her mouth by my side. She must have been shocked by my sudden action, but I was too hurt to think straight right now.
Evander held his check as he stared at me in shock.
“Mum!” I heard Tristan’s voice from behind and I turned to see him there, glaring at us. His eyes welled up with tears. Tristan. hardly cries, and seeing him in tears today really shook me.
“Tristan?”
“Why did you slap Uncle Evander, Mum?” Tristan asked. His voice was softer than it had been.
“Baby… I am sorry…” I tried to go to him, but he balled his fists and raced away. “Tristan?” I called out with my hands out for him, but he was gone.
“Tristan!” Evander called as he rushed out of the room and fled after him.
“Evander… come back,” he was gone too. “Ughh!” I ran my
hands through my hair, pulling a bit, and growled in frustration.
“Piper… please go with him… make sure Tristan is safe… now
that Evander knows we have caught him, he might do something…”
“You think he could hurt Tristan, his little nephew?”
I shook my head as I ran my hand through my hair. “I don’t think I know him anymore, Piper.”
She nodded and raced out of the room.
I sat there. The quiet room calmed my nerves as I closed my eyes and threw my head back.
“What a mess… Why did I slap him in Tristan’s presence? I know how much Evander means to him.”
I sighed. “He must feel so terrible, seeing the two people he loves fighting physically… I messed things up.”
I fell back on the bed.
“Baby.”
I opened my eyes to Dane standing in front of me. I gave him my hand and he helped me sit up.
I looked around but couldn’t find Seraphina. Dane read my mood and said, “She is asleep… in their room.”
He looked around. “Where is Tristan? I thought he was here.”
My heart skipped a bit as I thought of Tristan’s state. “He saw me slap Evander and he ran away… Evander followed him, and I had Piper follow them.”
“What?” Dane exclaimed. “Why would you slap Evander?”
“My emotions got the better of me… I should have-”
He came closer to me and pulled me into a hug. I hugged his waist as he patted my head. “It’s fine… I’m sure everything will be sorted out.”
“Will it?” I asked.
Piper burst into the room. “Aurora… I can’t find Evander or Tristan.”
“No,” I mouthed as I felt lightheaded immediately.
