Natalie's heart was pounding. Had he lost his mind? What had gotten into him?
"I'm glad you consider me a friend."
A friend? He was just a friend?
Terence's gaze darkened with raw, untamed emotion as he kissed her again, this time with a fierce desperation, as if he were seeking revenge, or perhaps demanding something more.
Natalie felt like her life was about to end right there. She pushed against Terence with all her might, creating a sliver of space to breathe.
"Terence, what are you doing?"
Terence didn't know why he had lost control like this. He had once promised to give her space, to wait until she truly loved him.
But he didn't want to wait anymore. If he kept waiting, he might lose her to someone else.
He didn't want to take any risk that might lead to losing her.
"Hey, what are you two doing?"
Hanley's voice suddenly rang out, followed by the sound of something falling to the floor by the doorway.
Lucas Lockwood grumbled, "Hanley, what are you yelling for?"
Hanley said, "I'm looking for my mommy." Natalie immediately scrambled off Terence's lap.
Hanley pushed past Lucas and walked into the room.
His mommy really was here. Hanley said resentfully, "Mommy, since you're back, why didn't you come find me? Why did you come find this man first? Is he the only one in your heart now, not me?"
Lucas stood to the side and remarked, "Kids these days are so jealous. And they have such short memories. You forgot how you used to refuse to even acknowledge Natalie as your mommy."
