Not His Type Of Mate -
Chapter 154
Nora's
POV
I could see the shock in Julius's eyes when he heard what Maddison said to him. He couldn't believe his ears and looked at Maddison with disbelief. "My father? Are you my father?" He asked, and Maddison nodded. He walked closer, and I stepped aside for him. He cupped Julius's face and looked into his eyes. "Yes, son. I'm your father," he replied and kissed his forehead. "I'm sorry I haven't been in your life all this while. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you. I'm sorry I've been so far away from you. I'm so sorry, but I promise to make it all up to you. I sincerely promise this to you." He said as he planted more kisses on Julius's head.
Julius looked at me with confusion in his eyes. He was puzzled, in total disbelief, and seemed to need more clarifications. "Mom, is he telling the truth? Is he truly my father?" He asked with curiosity in his eyes. I was silent for a while before I took a deep breath, looked at everyone around me, and returned my attention to him. "Yes, he is your father, Julius." I finally confessed, and I could see the disappointment in his eyes. He was furious, and he looked at me for a while before he could open his mouth to talk. "Thought you said he is not my father? Have you forgotten that you even swore that he is not my dad? I asked you several times, but you stopped me and told me to forget about it, that he isn't my father. What changed now? Why is he suddenly my father?" He asked me, anger obvious in his voice.
I felt troubled. I shouldn't have taken it so far back then, but I needed to explain myself first. "I'm sorry, Julius. I just did not know how to tell you then. I was under so much pressure, and I was angry too. I hope you understand, right?" I asked him, but he shook his head, still disappointed. "No, Mom. Stop with your explanations. Why did you lie? Why did you tell me so many lies instead of the truth? You know what I've been through. You knew what I went through back in London without a father. My friends, my friends would talk about their fathers, bring gifts that their fathers bought for them to school, and say things about how caring their fathers were, but I had nothing to say because I had no father. On Father's Day, everyone else would bring their fathers to school, play games, go to parks, and do a lot of fun things, but I never had such an experience with my father. Why? I even thought I had no father. I thought he was dead, but he is alive. He is so healthy that he could create all those memories with me, so why did you keep him away? Why did you make me go through all those lonely moments when you knew how hard it was for me? Why?" Julius said to me with tears in his eyes. He was so pained that I could see his lips trembling, and I felt hurt.
My heart clenched, and I felt guilty. I had no idea he would be this hurt, and I felt bad for him. "I'm sorry, my baby. I wouldn't have done that if there wasn't a reason. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you." I tried to act cool while pleading with him. I tried my best not to cry in front of my son, while I also hoped he would forgive me. "I don't want to hear it, Mom. I don't want to hear your apology anymore because it doesn't sound real. Your plea doesn't sound genuine. You are wicked, Mom. You are so wicked that even my pains can never move you. You are very wicked." He said to me, and it was like a thousand needles were thrown into my heart, creating holes. The pain was unbearable, and my eyes became moist with tears. "I'm sorry..." I mumbled softly to myself, as I couldn't afford to anger him anymore. He was crying so hard.
A doctor entered and walked to us. "What's going on here?" He asked, and we all turned to face him. He looked at our faces and sighed. "You should all let him be for now, please. He is not strong enough to go through this at the moment. Please, stop now." The doctor pleaded, and we nodded. I turned to face Julius, who stared back at me. "I'm sorry, Julius. I really am." I said, but he looked away. "Please leave. I don't want to see you. Just leave, Mom." He said, and my heart sank. "As he said, please leave, Madam. We can't afford to stress him at this state." The doctor said to me, and I nodded. I glanced at him one more time and walked out of the room, with Maxwell following me.
I walked to a seat in front of Julius's ward and sat on it. Tears rolled down my eyes, and I couldn't stop myself. The tears were choking me, and the pain in my heart was much. I felt guilty and regretted some of my actions. "It's okay, Nora. It's okay. Julius is a kid, and he will soon be over it. He is just angry after all." He said to me, but I shook my head. No one knew my son as much as I did, and I knew when he completely lost it. "You don't know Julius, Maxwell. You don't know him at all. Julius doesn't act like a kid. He is not the type to talk like the other kids or act like them. He is way more mature than his age. His talking to me that way meant that he is really angry, and he won't forgive me so soon. My son is disappointed in me, and... he hates me so much right now." I replied, as more tears rolled down my eyes.
I felt so sad that I wished this was all a bad dream, and I wanted to wake up from it quickly. I was still crying and lamenting to Maxwell when the door opened, revealing Maddison and Alpha Leo. I stood up from my seat and rushed over to stand in front of Maddison . "How is he? How is my son?" I asked, staring at his face. "Has he calmed down? Has he forgiven me?" I asked many questions at a time, hoping my son would be okay already. Maddison stared at me for a while and looked away. "Don't talk to me. I don't want to talk to you either." He said, still not looking at me, and I was confused. I had no idea what to do. How would I be able to apologize to my son when I could not even meet him because he refused to see me again? What would I do?
"I'm leaving now, but I will be back. I want to go and freshen up." Madison said to Maxwell and walked past me. I watched him leave without saying anything, until Alpha Leo walked toward me and cleared his throat, seemingly to get my attention. "I have to leave now too. I must finalize my business deal today, but I will be back when I'm done."He said, and I looked at him with tear-filled eyes. "Okay. Thank you very much," I said to him, and he hugged me. "It's okay... Everything will be okay. Your son will be fine, and he will come back to you. Be strong and hang in there," he comforted me, and I nodded, unable to say a word even after he broke the hug and left.
I was left alone with Maxwell, and I sat back in my seat. I had a lot to think about. There were so many things that were going wrong, and it was terrifying. A doctor came out of Julius's ward and walked over to me. "He is okay now, but it will be better if you stay away from him for now," he said to me, and I raised my head to look at him without saying a word. "Also, I think you should go home and rest. Nurses are here, and they will take good care of him. You should freshen up and rest for now," the doctor advised, and I agreed. Maxwell stood up and turned to face me. "Let's go," he said, and I nodded.
We got home, and Maxwell led me into the house. My eyes were heavy, I was completely exhausted, but tears wouldn't stop running down my face. "It's okay, Nora," I had heard these words from Maxwell a thousand times already, but I wished it had come from either Julius or Maddison instead, as that would have comforted me better. I walked toward my room while regretting and wishing I had told Julius the truth from the beginning. "You caused this yourself, Nora. You never listen to my advice," Lolita said to me, and I sucked in a deep breath. I opened the door to my room and entered. I had to do something. "Maddison," I called as I had connected to him through a mind link, and fortunately, he accepted it.
"Yes?" he asked coldly. "I'm sure you understand why I did that, right? You understand why I said all those lies to you?" I pleaded, and he was quiet for a while before he responded. "No. Nothing can justify what you did, Nora. I don't want to talk to you ever again. The only thing that connects us right now is Julius... Nothing more," he said, and my heart clenched.
