CHAPTER ELEVEN

Connor stayed where he was for a few moments as he tried to work out what the hell Lilly had been going on about. He’d understood that somehow her father was to blame for her leaving him but he had no idea how and he definitely had no idea how her father could possibly be to blame for what had happened to their baby. He especially didn’t understand why she’d left instead of just talking to him about it. He wanted to be the quiet, supportive husband who didn’t push too far and didn’t make her any more upset than she already was. The problem was that he wasn’t feeling like the supportive husband right now, instead he was feeling like the idiot whose wife had abandoned him and was still lying to him even after all this time. He daren’t go after her just yet because he wasn’t sure what his reaction would be. He wanted to go to her and haul her in to his arms and offer all his strength and comfort. The problem was that he had the suspicion that he would be more likely to fly off the handle and demand answers that she wasn’t prepared to give.

Connor waited ten minutes for his anger to cool slightly and then he went after her. He wasn’t sure what he wanted anymore but he knew that he had to know what had driven her from him all those years ago. No matter how much she might deny it she was still holding herself back from him and he wanted to know why.

He strode in to the room they were sharing and was stunned to find her waiting for him with something clutched against her chest. He wasn’t sure what he’d expected to find but he certainly hadn’t expected to find her waiting to explain things to him.

“I know that I behaved badly and I’m sorry,” she said slowly. She seemed to be choosing her words very carefully and it pissed him off more though he wasn’t sure why.

“You behaved badly?” he repeated incredulously and she had the good grace to blush. He wouldn’t call ignoring him for years behaving badly. He would call it a living hell that he hadn’t been sure he would survive.

“I was out of my depth and I wasn’t ready for the kind of relationship you wanted,” she tried to defend herself. Connor wasn’t having that though. How dared she accuse him of being the guilty one here?

“You weren’t ready? It sure felt like you were, sweetheart,” Connor said and had the pleasure of watching another blush stain her cheeks.

“I didn’t mean..”

“What? You didn’t mean that you weren’t ready to share a bed with me? You weren’t ready for marriage? Or you weren’t ready for our baby?” he demanded and felt slightly bad when her face drained of colour. All that was left was a pale face with big hed eyes that pulled at the heart he’d thought long dead.

“I didn’t mean that,” she said softly.
