The Face They Couldn’t Let Go Novel - Chapter 61

61 - My Wolf Is Special Madeline : After a little head - to - head time together , the kids helped me clean the room . I didn't want to call room service for such a mess . Besides , it wasn't like we were doing anything else , so I cleaned most of it while the kids helped . Finally , Nina arrived . I was relieved because the kids loved her , and she could keep them calm for a while . I went down to the hotel lobby to meet Graham and discuss the details of our interaction with the old man . We had a lot to go over that day , to try to make sense of what had happened .

We couldn't hold the meeting in any of the rooms , not even in my suite , because Kaylee was uncomfortable . It wasn't that Graham had said so , in fact , he'd suggested meeting in my suite . But I was the one who insisted we hold it in the lobby . I didn't want the situation to turn into drama or shift the focus from the main issue .

I sighed and finally lifted my gaze from the file . He sat on the other side of the L - shaped sofa , facing me . A small table separated us , with the files stacked neatly on top . " Graham , there's nothing that can happen . I'm married , " I reminded him for what felt like the hundredth time . " Madeline , I told you under what circumstances I had to step away from you . I never disrespected you , and I never hated you . Don't confuse me with the others . What they did was their choice . I was forced to walk away , for your sake , " he explained calmly .

1 I understood what he meant , but I couldn't let myself react the way I might have in the past . Still , a part of me knew he wasn't entirely wrong . " And we're mates , Madeline . That must mean something , " he said . I looked down at the floor , my thoughts spinning .
