“Okay. And bring Killian home so we can meet him.”
I have a feeling he’s the reason behind her change. She’s finally removing the self-implanted shackles one by one after meeting him, and I want to thank him for it.
For bringing my youngest back.
“Prepare Dad mentally first.”
“Don’t worry about your dad, I’ll take care of him. He’ll be strict at the beginning, but I’ll make him come around.”
“Because he loves you?”
“I guess.”
“How did Dad fall in love with you, Mum?”
“I don’t know and I don’t think he has the answer to that either. Love can’t be forced or explained, it just happens, Glyn.”
She appears thoughtful, then nods and ends the call after she updates me on school life and assures me that they’re going back by the end of the weekend.
My chest deflates with a breath and I can finally smile after that nightmare.
Because screw that voice, I’ll never choose between my children.
Besides, I have a husband who’s built like a Viking. The two of us can save the three of them—no questions asked.
With a smile, I go back to our bed and slip into Levi’s arms.
Our kids are all grown up and are taking different paths in life, but this man will always be my forever.

GLYNDON
My heart feels lighter after the heart-to-heart with Mum.
It’s been long overdue and I finally got the chance to express everything that lurked inside me. I’m just lucky to have a patient, understanding mother like her.
When I woke up half an hour ago with a sore pussy and arse and found a text message from her, I couldn’t resist calling.
I did put on my shorts and shirt first, though. Talking about Killian is one thing, but letting Mum see the savage marks he left on my body is entirely different.
Thank God, I kept my clothes after I bought the dress—that the brute tore.
After the call, my throat has turned dry, so I tiptoe out of the room and sneak down the stairs.
My steps come to a stop at the threshold of the kitchen and I grip my phone tighter when I realize someone is there.
Shit.
“Oh, Glyn. Come in.” Reina tells me with a smile.
She’s wearing a gorgeous blue satin robe that matches the color of her eyes. “Did you need something?”
I clear my throat to fight the scratchiness. “Just some honey and lemon if you have them.”
“How about I make you herbal tea with honey? It’ll soothe your throat in no time.”
“That would be great, thanks.”
