Chapter 951 Surprise
Lila’s POV
It’s been an hour and Rachel hasn’t left her room. I felt awful for upsetting her. She was right; I had no right to question her like that. I’m not sure what came over me and I felt so ashamed. Becca was already in bed sleeping and I could see the faint light under Rachel's door, indicating that she was awake. I knocked on her door lightly and I heard her faint voice saying, “Come in.” I took a deep breath before opening the door and poking my head in. She was curled up on her bed and her eyes were red like she’s been crying. It made my heart squeeze painfully in my chest; I had hurt her. “Hey…” I said softly. When she didn’t say anything, I stepped into her room. “Rachel, I’m so sorry,” I breathed, shutting the door behind me. “I was a total monster, and you didn’t deserve that. You were right; it wasn’t my business. He’s your father and I don’t have a right to tell you what to do.” “He wants to have a better relationship with me…” she murmured, lowering her gaze. “I want to give him a chance to redeem himself.” “I understand that completely. I’m sorry I gave you the third degree...” “I know you don’t trust Alpha Jonathan, but he’s not that bad, Lila. He saved my father’s business. Without him, my father would have gone bankrupt. We owe him a lot for that,” she said, meeting my eyes. Suddenly, I was getting a weird feeling. Alpha Jonathan always had an alternative motive when it came to things like that. He’s a wealthy businessman and owns basically everything; what would he want with a small restaurant that was on the verge of bankruptcy? I wanted to ask her, but I decided it was probably better if I didn’t. So, I kept my mouth shut. “Can you please just give them a chance? For me?” I sighed, not wanting to argue with her anymore. “Sure,” I said, forcing a small smile. “I will give them a chance, for you.” She smiled widely at me and leaped to her feet, running toward me and wrapping her arms around me. “Thank you, Lila,” she breathed. I hugged her back, but I couldn’t shake that nasty feeling that was bubbling in the pit of my stomach.
