Chapter 0159 +25 BONUS Chapter 0159 Ella POV The silence that followed was so pronounced it felt heavy .
Alexander didnt respond , and the seconds dragged on long enough that I glanced at my phone to make sure the call hadnt dropped .
Alexander ? I said softly .
Did I say something wrong ? No , not at all , he answered quickly , though there was a slight edge to his voice .
Youre right , of course .
You should have met my family by now .
Its an oversight on my part that you havent .
I dont want to pry , I said uncertainly .
No , of course not , Alexander said , his tone steadying , Youre not prying at all .
Ill speak to my mother and make arrangements .
I nodded , even though he couldnt see me .
All right , I said softly .
But something about Alexanders tone left me uneasy .
I couldnt shake the feeling that something wasnt quite right .
Alexander had never struck me as embarrassed by his family .
Hed spoken of them before briefly but I hadnt gotten the sense he was hiding anything .
So why had the thought of me meeting them drawn such a reaction from him ? Surely , it was obvious that if he and I were going to get married even if it was fake I would eventually have to meet his mother .

Then again , Id been nervous about Alexander meeting my parents too .
Maybe I was just overthinking it .
Things would probably be fine .
Probably .
Are you sure nothings wrong ? I asked , my voice soft but insistent .
Ill be honest , your reaction is concerning .
Im simply distracted , Alexander said with a slight laugh , though it didnt quite reach his usual confidence .
Theres a lot of work to be done .
Yes , I said hesitantly .
I guess thats normal for you .
11 Maybe I havent been sleeping enough , he said dismissively .
At any rate , everything is fine .
Theres no need for you to be concerned .
Im glad to hear it , I replied , though his tone didnt fully ease my worries .
I owe you for reminding me , actually .
My mothers going to be furious if I leave her out of the wedding planning .
I cant believe I overlooked something like this .
We certainly dont want her to be upset , I said with a faint smile .
The fact that Alexander had forgotten about his mother when it came to the wedding planning told me they mustnt be particularly close .
I supposed that wasnt unusual for a grown man , especially one who had been more or less on his own in the capital for the last few years .
As much as Alexander worked , I doubted he had much time to go home for a visit .
Still , I couldnt help feeling sad for him .
Hed lost his father and wasnt close to his mother .
Other than August , I hadnt met anyone who could be considered Alexanders friend .
His life seemed consumed by work , leaving little room for anything else .
At least we managed to have some fun together , I thought .
Maybe when this was all said and done , hed have learned to balance things a little more .
If I could help him with that , then all of this trouble wed gone through together might at least have a happy outcome .
Chapter 0159 +25 BONUS Youll have to come to our packlands , Alexander said suddenly .
Itll be the easiest way for you to meet the whole family and for me to properly introduce you to the pack .
Oh , I replied , startled .
It hadnt even occurred to me that visiting Alexanders packlands would be part of this arrangement .
Id never been that far north before .
Alexander spent so assumed that was where wed stay .
uch time in the capital that Id just Is that going to be a problem ? he asked , his tone curious but cautious .
Not at all , I said quickly .
I look Ito it .
