Chapter 241
241 –He Is A Man Of The House For A Reason
Madeline:
“So, are you getting kicked out? Did you do something?” I asked, partly out of curiosity. They had a lot of luggage. two children, another man with them, and she was pregnant. I did not understand the situation.
“Oh, my husband had a fight with the alpha of his pack. He was a warrior. When my husband refused to bow to his orders, he kicked us out,” she explained.
I felt terrible for her. It was the same everywhere. The alphas and royals always got their way.
“But you got the alpha who stood with you. I know what happened was really saddening, but in the end, you found the right man,” she said to me. 1
Everything that happened that day had been broadcast live, so everyone had seen the drama.
“ Yeah, I feel really lucky to have him,” I replied awkwardly, not knowing how else to respond.
“Anyway, I guess we’re going to be neighbors for now,” she said, smiling widely.
“Yeah, before we get kicked out of the motel too,” I replied, “but it’s okay. We’ll all be fine p>
“Are you guys going to stay in the woods?” she asked.
I nodded slightly. I did not want to tell her about the cabin yet.
Part of it was because I did not want them to feel upset about not being near us in the woods, and I did not want them to panic.
I decided to keep it to myself for now.
“Oh, our kids can play together for now, ” she said, pointing at Bodhi, Elara, and Gina.
“You know them, I’m pretty sure,” I said, gesturing toward my children and she nodded.
“But here, let me introduce you. This is Little Ronnie and Riley p>
Her two children stepped forward. They were around the same age as mine and blended in easily.
They were welcoming and immediately wrapped their arms around my kids.
“So you’re here with your husband and his brother?” I asked and once again, she nodded.
“Yeah. His wife is also coming over. They kicked all of us out,” she responded in her gentle tone.
I felt worried for her. It was a big family, and I did not know how they were going to manage.
“Anyway, I’ll go rest. I’m really tired. Can you send my kids back once yours are settled in the room?” she asked, and I bobbed my head in response to her.
At the same time, Baxter stepped out after helping the men with their luggage.
After my kids played for a few minutes with Ronnie and Riley, we sent them to their rooms.
Baxter and I had been standing with the vending machine, watching the kids from afar.
Throughout the whole time, Baxter did not say anything.

We went back into the room, and he got us warm water and prepared the noodles for all of us before handing us
our cups.1
We sat on the couch while the kids stayed on the bed, sharing stories with each other.
“I’m sorry,” I uttered, slurping the noodles to make it seem like it was just a casual conversation. 1
“You don’t need to apologize for the littlest things. You had every right to be upset,” he replied casually, eating the noodles, which were basically gone in one bite.
I felt bad for him. He was leaving behind his entire world. For a man so big, such food was not going to be much.
“ I should have let you explain,” I uttered, not even able to hold eye contact with him.
He gently nudged me with his elbow.
“I had plenty of time to explain. I should have just said it without waiting for your approval. I guess I was too…” He paused, then leaned down from the side toward my ear, lowering his voice to speak.
“Horny to speak,” He finished before straightening up and finishing his noodles. That alone gave me goosebumps. 1
But I could tell it was safe to say that he was not angry about it, not even about the comment.
Usually, the man in my life would always remind me of a single thing I did and make me apologize over and over again.
But this man reminded me of his previous self, the one from when we were friends.
Then he left me, and he acted distant. When I returned, he was rude. So which one was the real Baxter?
“Oh, and by the way,” he said as he stopped next to the bed and turned toward me, “I’m not marrying anyone p>
As soon as he said that, I was not the only one who snapped my head up.
My children looked at each other and then looked at him, too.
“You’re not bringing that bad aunt into our home?” Bodhi asked, and Baxter started to laugh.
“No, there is no need to. People only marry once. And I don’t believe in sharing or being shared,” he replied. 1
The way he said it while looking at me, before sitting down with the kids to help them clean up the mess they had made on the bed, made me happy. 1
