Alpha Hunter

Chapter 53

Chapter 53 Reyna Cruz: “Good morning!” I stepped into Turner’s room, pulling back the curtains and spotting my cellphone next to his bed. It had run out of battery, so I figured he must have been talking to his father all night. “Good morning!” He bounced up in bed, a big smile on his lips, had been a while since he woke up so happy. “My son looks happy. I teased, raising my brow as I sat down with him. “I spoke to daddy and grandma the whole night, he shared, confirming what I already knew. I could have easily cavesdropped on him, but I didn’t want to intrude on his relationship with his father. Hunter hadn’t done anything wrong, so stopping him from talking to his son seemed like a bad idea. “I’m happy that you’ve made amends with him,” I forced a smile. Even though hearing about Mrs. Sparrow didn’t sit well with me, I couldn’t dictate who he should talk to, especially since she had shown concern for him when he was in the hospital. However, I wouldn’t be comfortable leaving him with Tara. “Are you heading to the office today?” he asked, getting out of bed and fixing his hair in the mirror. I chuckled at him and then shook my head. “No Remember how I used to work from home before?” I asked, and he nodded, turning to gaze at my face. “I’ll do that from now on, I noticed a slightly concerned look on his face, so I inquired, “What is it? You look concerned.” “Did daddy fire you from the job?” His concern made me smile a little. “No! I am resigning. I don’t want to leave you at home and then go to work anymore,” I reassured him, not wanting him to think I didn’t want to see his father’s face. He shouldn’t know what our feelings were for each other. Turner seemed to be very happy, so I wanted to keep it that way. “But I wouldn’t be alone all the time anyway,” he shrugged, prompting me to narrow my eyes at his

face. “Yeah! Grandma Polline is always there with you,” not understanding what he meant, I assumed that’s what he might be referring to. However, he shook his head and dismissed me, “No, Mom! Dad will be coming to see me every now and then.” As he said that, my muscles stiffened. Of course, he would. Why did I think he would just be happy with Turner speaking to him on the phone? In my head, I really thought that if I didn’t go to the office, I would not have to face him again. “Oh! Did he tell you that?” I inquired, and Turner happily nodded. “That’s why I want to get dressed up early. He is coming to see me today. The news sent goosebumps across my skin. I tried to act normal, but deep down, I was very disturbed “Oh, that’s great. You should get ready, then, I didn’t want to dampen his energy, so I expressed my excitement for their meeting with an enthusiastic smile on my lips. I left the room so that he could get ready, and in the meanwhile, I rushed downstairs to tell Polline that Hunter was arriving. “Be careful, or you will fall off the stairs, Polline smiled, obviously having no idea why I was rushing towards her like crazy. “He is coming over. I said, hyperventilating Oh! Is that why you are adorning this sanall black dress?” she teased, mixing the pancake batter. “Not I mean, Hunter is coming over. Turner spoke to hun the entire night, and now he is telling me that Hunter is coming over to meet him I began to pace around anxiously Funny how Polline quickly thought it was Samuel coming over. Chapter 53 May “How did he talk to him the entire night?” Polline focused on the main topic first. “I gave him my phone, and before you say anything. I quickly paused her from scolding me, “I don’t want my son to think I am restricting him from talking to his father.” Fine. Then what is the plan now? Do you want to take Turner and leave for a fun day? When Hunter comes, I will tell him that you didn’t know he was coming,” she surprised me with her inability to come up with a good plan. So, I watched her face with a raised eyebrow. “Polline! My son is looking forward to this meeting. I just wish I had been in the office, and you

would keep an eye on them here,” I nervously fidgeted with my fingers. It was also the fact that he looked so angry yesterday that I couldn’t help but wonder how he will act around me today. “Well, you resigned, so, she shrugged. “Right!” I had only taken a deep breath when the doorbell rang, and I knew who it was, “Huh!” I scoffed, stomping my foot and walking towards the door. I had to calm my irritated nerves down to not look all frightened because of his arrival. If he had come here to speak with me about Samuel, then I don’t know how I would respond to him. Soon, I opened the door to find him standing with a bunch of toys and a very blunt look on his face. His eyes were narrowed and very telling of how annoyed he was at my sight. “Where is my son?” he asked without even greeting me. Not that I expected him to.. “Inside, Duh!” I couldn’t help but roll my eyes at him. He scoffed and walked past me, even elbowing me to the side when making his way inside. Soon, my son came rushing down and hugged Hunter. Okay! Here is a thought. I didn’t think I would feel this angry at my son and him being all caring towards each other, but it just reminded me that now he could come here more often, and it will be worse than having to see him in the office. “Although I am still upset with you, I do think I am ready to give you a second chance, the way my son cheered every time he spoke about Hunter made me quickly get over being upset at seeing them together. “Thank you so much. Not everyone is as loving as you, my son! Hunter picked him up, still hugging him when he passed me a deadly glare. “Yeah! You definitely didn’t get this quality from your father, my son,” I mimicked Hunter’s tone but spoke so low that I didn’t expect Hunter to hear me. But he did because he turned to look at me and then took Turner to the garden. I noticed that Hunter didn’t like staying inside my house. He probably thought it was not up to his standards even when it was a mini-mansion. “You know what? Why don’t you go meet Samuel while I keep an eye on them?” Polline must have seen me peeking through the window constantly and keeping an eye on them for her to suggest that.

“Do you think so? I don’t want to leave and then watch him take Turner with him,” I faced her, expressing what had been- bothering me. “I am sure Turner wouldn’t want to leave the mansion without your permission anyway. And as for going to his father’s mansion, after his interaction with Tara, he certainly doesn’t ever want to be around her,” she was right. I just was worried because Hunter could be very convincing at times. “Okay! Then I will leave because staying here is making me anxious, and I don’t want my son to see me act all shaky and fidgety. I sighed, grabbing my phone and then hugging Polline. “Don’t worry, go have a fun day,” she patted my back, and I left the house to walk towards the two in the garden. Hunter noticed me through his thick eyebrows but didn’t raise his head fill the way up. “Turner! I will be heading out to meet Samuel. You be good, okay?” I spoke to my son directly, who was busy doing a puzzle 2/3 III
