Alpha’s Regret Pregnant Rejected Luna

Chapter 30

Nathan had made his way to Starlight to pick up Hazel after work. He found her standing at the front of

her company, attempting to hail a taxi. He pulled up gracefully, parking his car right next to her.

Stepping out of his vehicle, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of contentment at the sight of her.

“Nathan?” she questioned, her tone a mixture of amusement and surprise as she turned to face him.

Nathan responded with a cheerful grin, his eyes twin kl i n g with warmth. “Uhuhh,” he affirmed, his

voice light and friendly. “I was running some errands, and I decided to drop by. I haven’t seen those

rascals for some time now,” he added, referring to Hazel’s kids.

Hazel’s features softened as she nodded in understanding. “Oh, okay.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hop in,” Nathan invited, making a gracious gesture toward the passenger door. He opened it for her,

allowing her to glide into the comfortable seats before he gently closed it behind her.

Hazel settled into the car, appreciating the plush interior and the familiar scent that

surrounded her. As Nathan walked around the car to take the driver’s seat, he couldn’t help but notice

the radiant glow on her face.

“Looks like you’re in high spirits,” he remarked, his gaze fixated on her as he started the engine.

Hazel’s excitement couldn’t be contained. “Oh, yes! So, we weren’t able to make our presentation at

Tesco Empire today,” she began, her voice filled with enthusiasm. “But then we got an offer. We still got

an offer today! A bid we didn’t even ask for!”

She deliberately left out the part about meeting her ex-husband, choosing instead to focus. on the

positive aspects of her day.

Nathan continued to listen intently as Hazel chatted animatedly about the contract offer and the small

celebration they had thrown at work. Her excitement was contagious, and het couldn’t help but feel a

sense of accomplishment. Unbeknownst to her, he had orchestrated. this offer for her and her

company. Witnessing Hazel so joyful and full of life gave him at deep sense of satisfaction.

He navigated the car, expertly weaving through the city’s bustling streets as they made their way

toward the kindergarten where Hazel’s children were. Gradually, her initial chatter began to fade into

thoughtful silence. Her bright demeanor shifted, replaced by a sense of anxiety and unease. Nathan

couldn’t help but notice the change in her mood.

Hazel’s mind wandered back to that morning, the shocking encounter with Ethan at Tesco Empire. The

memory weighed on her, and her apprehension grew as they approached the school. Her thoughts

were consumed by her children, her precious twins. She couldn’t help but worry about what might

happen if Ethan were to discover their true parentage. He had become even wealthier over the years,

practically owning the entire city. The mere thought. of losing her children filled her with dread.

Her twins, the embodiment of her love with Ethan, were her most precious treasures. She had built her

life around them, cherishing every moment, and the mere thought of losing custody terrified her. She

had spent years crafting a world where they could live, where they could have a semblance of

normalcy despite their unique circumstances. All of that could

hable if Ethan chose to assert his right

Unconsciously, she began clutching her arms, her fingers digging into her skin as if seeking

reassurance. Nathan, concerned for her well-being, noticed her discomfort.

“Hey, are you okay?” he asked, his voice filled with genuine concern, as he stole a quick glance at her.

Hazel took a deep breath, trying to regain her composure. “Yes. Yes, I’m fine,” she reassured him, her

voice trembling slightly.

Nathan wasn’t convinced, and he pulled the car to a stop, turning his attention fully to her. “Are you

sure?” he inquired, his eyes searching hers.

Meeting Ethan in his current position of influence and power had been nothing short of intimidating.

Hazel knew all too well that he could easily use his resources to gain custody of her children if he

discovered.

However, in her heart, she found a sense of solace. The unexpected turn of events meant that they

wouldn’t have to cooperate with his company anymore, sparing her the anguish of bumping into him

regularly. The city was vast enough to ensure they wouldn’t cross paths, and to top it off, they had a

new contract offer. These thoughts filled her with a newfound sense of calm, and she began humming

softly to herself, soothing her racing nerves. “Everything will be okay! She mumbled to herself. When

she raised her head she found Nathan searching eyes peering worriedly down at her.

“Is this about Daisy? Nathan probed.”

She’ll be fine. We’ll find the best doctors for her.” He said reassuringly.

Hazel gave him a small reassuring smile.

“Thank you.”

“Let’s go. She urged.

Nathan’s reassuring words eased some of the worry in Hazel’s heart.

Nathan shifted his attention back to driving. Their destination was the vibrant and colorful kindergarten

school building that was now in view. The laughter and giggles of children playing in the little

playground outside brought a small, warm smile to Hazel’s face. The sight of happy kids was a

welcome contrast to the worries of the day.

Nathan led the way as they approached the school. Hazel standing directly behind Nathan was buried

completely out of sight due to his much larger frame.

The children continued their playful activities, unaware of the approaching adults.

Among the playful bunch, it was Daisy who first spotted Nathan. Her little face lit up joy as she

recognized him, her muddy hands and cheeks a testament to her playful adventures. With an excited

squeal, she dashed toward him with her chubby legs working furiously

Nater Daisy exclaimed, her delight evident in every step she took. Her tiny hands reached for him

eagerly as Nathan knelt down to receive her. In her innocent world, he was a beloved figure, a source

of boundless joy.

Dairy’s giggles filled the air as Nathan effortlessly lifted her into the air, their impromptu

the covering him in mud. He didn’t seem to mind the muddy stains on his clothes at all,

was solely on the happiness radiating from the little girl in his arms.

As Daisy hugged him tightly, her mud-streaked cheeks pressing affectionately against his, she

expressed her feelings with childlike sincerity. “I missed you,” she whispered sweetly before planting a

big, muddy k*ss on his cheek.

“Mommy?” Daisy’s voice held a hint of curiosity as she turned her head to find Hazel.

“Mommy!” Daisy’s excitement couldn’t be contained as she threw her little arms wide open. practically

leaping into her mother’s embrace. The joy radiating from the little girl was infectious.

Hazel responded by squeezing Daisy tightly against her, her ear pressed close to her daughter’s chest,

where she could hear the comforting rhythm of Daisy’s heartbeat.

Nathan, always attentive to the little ones, inquired about Daisy’s brother. “Where’s your brother?” he

asked with a warm smile, his eyes sparkling with gentle curiosity.

Daisy, however, responded with the innocence and humor only a child could muster. She shrugged her

tiny shoulders and made a comically clueless expression. “Ah dunno,” she replied, her tiny fingers

splayed wide to emphasize her puzzlement.

Hazel, chuckling at her daughter’s antics, squeezed Daisy’s hand affectionately. “Let’s go get you

cleaned up,” she suggested, understanding the need to address the mud stains that adorned her little

explorer.

Nathan, taking on the role of the caring companion, decided to seek out Daisy’s older brother, Liam. He

walked away with a confident stride, heading towards a more secluded area where he anticipated

finding the young boy engrossed in his world of imagination.

And indeed, Liam was nestled in a quiet spot, engrossed in playing all by himself with his cherished toy

truck. His attention was fully captured by the miniature vehicle’s adventures, making him blissfully

unaware of his surroundings.

“Hey champ,” Nathan greeted warmly, his hand gently ruffling Liam’s hair to get his

attention.

Liam’s reaction was pure and unadulterated joy. Startled by the unexpected arrival of his father figure,

he promptly abandoned his toys and sprang to his feet, rushing into Nathan’s

arms.

“I thought you’d forgotten about me and Daisy,” Liam admitted, his childlike sadness tugging at

Nathan’s heart. He felt neglected, and it weighed heavily on his young mind.

“No, champ, I’m really sorry,” Nathan apologized sincerely, running his fingers through Liam’s hair once

more. The affectionate gesture reassured the little boy, and he nodded, a smile gradually returning to

his face. The connection between them was mended.

“What do we have here?” Nathan asked, squatting down among Liam’s toys to engage in a playful

moment with Liam. The two of them shared quality time, lost in the world of toys and imagination.

Meanwhile, Hazel was in the process of cleaning up Daisy, who had managed to accumulate quite a bit

of mud during her playful escapades. It was during this mundane task that Daisy suddenly posed a

rather unexpected question:

Are you and Nathan gonna get married?” Daisy’s innocent query caught Hazel off guard. She laughed

incredulously at the unexpected topic.

Where did you get that from? she inquired puzzled by the curiosity that had sparked the

Daisy, always inquisitive and observant, explained her thought process. “Well, Molly said her mommy

married Mr. Adams, and now she has a new daddy and new siblings.

Hazel understood that Daisy was referring to a blended family, where Molly’s mom had remarried a

man with children. She clarified. “No, honey. I and Nathan aren’t getting married.”

Returning her focus to the open arms of her daughter, Hazel couldn’t help but glance over at Nathan

and Liam as they emerged from wherever Liam had hidden himself. They were engaged in playful

antics, with Nathan playfully throwing Liam over his shoulder and spinning him around. Liam’s joyful

laughter filled the air as he yelled loudly.

Hazel watched the scene before her with a small, tender smile. “Mommy!” Liam’s voice called out as he

ran to her, wrapping his arms around her legs. Hazel bent down, lowering Daisy gently to the ground so

she could hug both of her precious children at once. The embrace lingered longer than usual, Hazel

holding her twins tightly to her, her emotions. bubbling up. They truly were everything she had.

After a heartfelt moment, Hazel eventually stood up and made a decision. “Let’s go home.”

The trio made their way to Nathan’s car, where he proceeded to strap both Liam and Daisy into their

respective car seats. Nathan’s playful antics didn’t stop, and he tickled Liam while securing him in the

seat, eliciting a loud burst of laughter from the young boy.

Once the children were safely fastened in, Nathan took his place in the driver’s seat. “Let’s stop at the

grocery store,” he suggested, eager to extend their time together. He cherished these moments with

the family and wanted to make the most of them.

“We’re out of milk, Daisy chimed in agreement, emphasizing the urgency of their grocery trip.

Liam, not one to be left out, added his list of needed items. “And butter, eggs, corn flakes, sugar,

strawberries, and jam,” he rattled off with youthful enthusiasm.

Hazel concurred, “We’re going grocery shopping, then.”

Daisy, always ready for a treat, didn’t miss an opportunity. “Mom, can we get ice cream too?” she

asked, her adorable pout in full effect.

“Okay,” Nathan conceded with a smile, his heart warmed by their eagerness. “I’ll get you guys ice

cream. Whatever size you want.”

“Yay, Nathan!” the twins cheered in unison, their happiness filling the car.

As the car journey continued, Nathan played a medley of cheerful children’s songs. Daisy and Liam

enthusiastically joined in, their young voices harmonizing in the backseat. Nathan glanced at them

through the rearview mirror, a contented smile on his face. In that moment, life felt meaningful and

fulfilling, and he wished he could hit pause to savor it a little longer.
