Shadows Of A Forgotten Spring Novel

Chapter 154 Chapter 154 Alexander turned to her , furrowing his brow .

A moment passed , he said nothing , studying her face as if trying to decipher her emotions .

His response finally came , calmer than Emma had expected .

What do you mean ? he asked , faint confusion etched in his tone .

I had nothing to do with this house .

I believe that Its a gift from my mother to you .

Emma blinked , taken aback .

Your mother ? Yes , Alexander said , his tone , softening.

She felt that you , and the twins needed a safe place , considering what happened to you six weeks ago .

For once , you need to think beyond our past , Emma .

Her heart stuttered with his words , a wash of guilt coming over her .

Shed simmered in resentment the entire day , believing this mansion was just another way for Alexander to attempt to control her life and take her children from her .

But knowing this was Briannas doing changed things .

Emma looked away , her voice faltering , I … I didnt realize .

I thought .

Alexander stepped closer , his expression softening further .

His soft cologne hit her nostrils , bringing to life a part of her that she had wished was long dead .

You thought I was trying to take our kids away from you .

he said , almost reading her mind .

She swallowed hard as emotions swirled in her stomach .

Since its truly from mother , then … Ill accept it .
