Chapter 188

Ciara's POV “Babe, can we talk?” I heard Wade through our mate bond. I wasn’t blocking him anymore, so he could finally reach me. I wasn’t as furious as before. Still hurt? Yes...but willing to listen. “I added you back to the palm reader for the house. I’m taking a bath, you can let yourself in,” I replied. I wasn’t sure if he was already nearby or on his way, so I hurried to get out of the tub and dry off. I wanted to be dressed before he arrived. We needed to talk, and I didn’t want to send the wrong message. This conversation would help me decide what path I needed to take. As I stepped out of the bathroom in my robe, heading to my closet, I froze, Wade was already here, sitting on the edge of our bed, looking defeated. I stopped myself from going to him. I couldn’t let my emotions lead. I had to stay strong, for myself and the baby. His eyes flicked over my body and lingered at my waist, like he was already searching for a bump. But it was still early. There was nothing to see yet
