CHAPTER FORTY-ONE

ALLEY

With our bellies full, it felt like forever before Philip appeared in his office doorway, with damp hair and dressed in a crisp white shirt with the top few buttons undone, revealing a glimpse of his chest and the long sleeves rolled up to his elbows. Wearing black dress pants with a proper crease down their front and nearly covering a shiny pair of black leather lace-up dress shoes.

Annoyance filled me as my mouth began to water at the sexy sight before me. My hormones go into overdrive, and I give myself a mental slap — annoyed how Philip can still affect me this way after everything he has done. We are here to sort a few issues out, not fantasising about the man in front of me.

With my feet propped up on his desk, I made myself comfortable in Philip’s seat, with my little girl curled up on my front.

My daughter’s hand gripped my top in her sleep, pulling on it slightly. My poor baby must be dreaming again. She had started to have bad dreams since the cancelled wedding rehearsals.

Being kept waiting and sitting in Philip’s office was not something Aphilia had enjoyed, and somehow, she fell asleep in my arms. I don’t blame her; I would have been fed up waiting too.

Riley and one of the guards left the office earlier to speak with the Silverman’s security. Dane decided to take a walk not long after we entered the office to look around the kingdom, and as for my female guard, she had positioned herself close by.

Philip had not expected me to wait around for him, with the shocked look on his face.

Keeping my voice low, I lift my chin and murmur to Charlene, “Do you mind picking Aphilia up, please? Dane should be back any minute, and he can watch over her until I have decided what we will do after I have spoken with Philip.”

Charlene nods and replies, “Certainly, Princess Alley.”

“Thank you, Charlene.”

She carefully picks Aphilia up, and I glance over her shoulder towards Philip and notice him watching his daughter sleeping. I watch his fingers twitch as if he is holding himself back.

Well, if the man wanted to hold his child, he had plenty of time back in Darshia to do it. Once again, the man keeps his daughter at arm’s length, causing my blood to boil.

Just as the door closes, I stand up, shaking the limbs of my body, which started to feel stiff from sitting for far too long. Debating if to stand or not, I think better of it, and I sit back down in Philip’s chair and kick my feet back on top of his desk, crossing them at the ankle, making myself at home. I turn my face towards Philip and say, “You have been spared once again. But our daughter will demand answers from you.”

Philip nods and turns from the door, then a moment later towards me. “Yes, I know.” With a shake of his head, I can see Philip is battling with himself.
