Chapter 113

Everly POV

We helped Macey settle in, and Valen was pissed off with Tatum and even rang him. Though he assured me that it wasn’t that she couldn’t have kids, that it was because she didn’t tell him from the start and to give him space. I tried to tell Macey this, but she

wouldn’t listen and said she was done and that it was for the best.

Macey had gone to get Taylor from Zoe’s the following morning, and she would be staying on the floor below. I knew everything would work out in the end. Macey was stubborn, and once you hurt her, she walked. She always said she didn’t have time for drama, and she was right. None of us did, yet we always found ourselves stuck in it.

“I will go grab Valarian from your father,” I tell Valen as I scoop up my handbag from off the floor by the hallstand. I rummaged for my keys before spotting the ring box. With everything going on, I forgot to give it to him. I grabbed it, and his arms wrapped around me from behind, and he kissed my shoulder.

I went to open it, but now I knew why Dion was so insistent on this ring. Because it actually matched and had similar marked patterns etched around the outside. Valen’s hand clamps over my mine, closing the box before I can open it. “Put it in the safe. Save it for when I marry you,” he purrs.

“You don’t want to see?” I ask him, and he confirms my thoughts.
