Chapter 348 “YOU!!!”

My voice came out in pure shock. He let out a low chuckle and murmured, “Too adorable to react like that.”

I shot him a sharp glare. “What the hell are you doing here?”

“Going on vacation with my family. Isn’t it obvious?”

Get S E Menu His smug tone made my hands itch to smack him, but I forced myself to stay calm–until I saw a security guard loading my luggage into the trunk of the car parked outside my house.

I turned to my kids, my eyes narrowing.

“You two–why is your dad here?”

“Mommy, Daddy’s coming with us too,” Luna chirped.

“What? Excuse me? Neither of you mentioned that little detail.”

Leo shrugged, shaking his head. “We never said he wasn’t coming either. Mommy, we’re happy Dad’s joining us.”

I could not believe Kane had pulled this on me. My frustration boiled over as I yanked the door handle, trying to get out.

“I’m not going anywhere with him.”

But the door wouldn’t budge–it was locked. My head snapped toward Kane.

“Unlock this door. Now. You and I are not traveling together. If the kids want you there so badly, fine. Go with them. But I’m not coming.”

To my surprise, he nodded like he actually understood. For a second, I thought he’d step out and let me go alone with the kids.

I was dead wrong.

Instead of unlocking the door, he started the damn car.

“What the hell do you think you’re doing?”

“I know you won’t listen to me,” he said smoothly. “So I’m not listening to you either.”

With a smirk, he glanced at me in the rearview mirror. The kids, on the other hand, erupted in excitement.

“Yes! We’re all going together!”

“Woohoo!”

Their laughter filled the car, and despite my irritation, I felt my anger soften just a little. Their happiness was always my weakness.

For their sake, I’d have to put up with this man.

Menu Letting out a slow breath, I leaned back against my seat and turned to stare out the window.

I should have realized something was up when Luna brought up leaving at night. If I had known Kane was coming, I would’ve made sure they left without me. The last thing I wanted was to spend an entire vacation stuck with him.

Kane’s voice broke through my thoughts.

“Don’t you think Mommy is awfully quiet today?”

The kids turned to look at me. Luna’s voice came out small.

“Mommy... are you mad at us?”

I didn’t respond or even glance their way. I needed them to understand that what they did wasn’t okay, so they wouldn’t pull something like this again.

Leo’s voice was soft but persuasive. “Mommy, we’re really sorry.”

“If you want,” Luna added in an adorably solemn tone, “we won’t eat ice cream for a few days. Just don’t be mad at us, please?”

I let out a sigh, finally turning to them.

“You don’t have to give up your ice cream. Mommy’s not mad. But next time, tell me before making plans like this, alright?”

Kane, however, didn’t seem satisfied with my answer.

“She’s lying,” he teased. “She’s totally still mad. Doesn’t look happy to me.”

I shot him a warning glare, my eyes locking onto his annoyingly handsome profile.

“Oh? And what exactly do you want me to do? Burst into song and dance because I’m so thrilled to be going on a trip with Alpha Kane?”

He laughed, flashing me a knowing look.

“I’d love to see that, baby.”
