Bedmates Soulmates novel Chapter 716

Luca added after a pause, ‘But I think he was just trying to find out if you were dead for real.” 

After all, Liam saw Austyn as his sworn enemy. 

Just a week after Austyn went missing, Liam took over the M Group 

He replaced most of Austyn’s men with his own, 

Both Revency and the M Group were now under his control. 

Austyn mulled it over. ‘I need you to do something for me.” 

What? 

‘Don’t breathe a word about my recovery to anyone. Not Kira, not the lids, and not even Isabel.” 

‘Why?‘ Luca was baffled. 

‘I have my plans. 

Someone obviously knew about his return to Stamford, hence the attempt on his life. 

They would let their guard down if they thought Austyn still suffered from amnesia. 

When they came after him again, he would be ready. 

the official search and rescue 

“What’s wrong?‘ Isabel noticed Kira’s glum look. ‘You’re not hungry?” 

Kira shook her head ‘I’m fine. Thanks for taking care of the kids last night‘ 

“Don’t mention it. We had fun, didn’t we, kids?” 

The twins nodded before returning to their broccoli egg cups. 

Jennie was in charge of demolishing the eggs while Joshua had to take care of all the broccoli 

“Are you upset because Gideon was beaten up by Austyn?‘ Isabel lowered her voice. 

“Who told you I feel sorry for Gideon?” 

“Then why the long face?” 

Kira fell silent 

‘Come on, you can tell me anything” 

Is He A Two–timer? 

Kira glanced at the kids and whispered. Remember I told you Austyn has a new girlfriend?” 

“Uh–huh.” 

“They are getting married in a month.‘ 

Babel swore under her breath. 

She leaned in so her forehead was almost touching Kira’s. “For real?” 

Kira nodded. ‘He just got a call from her earlier.” 

‘But he can’t marry her!! 

Kira sighed. “You know how Austyn is, Gwen saved his life. He’s indebted to her.” 

‘But he can repay her some other way. Why must he marry her? Isabel was indignant 

Kira forced a smile. “Maybe he’s in love with her.‘ 

Isabel frowned. “That’s impossible. If that’s the case, why would he come to Stamford to look for you?”” 

Isabel’s family went way back with Austyn’s. 

The two of them practically grew up together, though they moved in slightly different social circles. 

Isabel refused to believe Austyn was the two–timing type. 

He could be cold, distant and sometimes downright cruel. 

But he was not the type to cheat. 

Kira had no answer to her friend’s question, 

She thought she knew Austyn well 

But she wasn’t so confident when it came to this new version of him. 

Austyn checked his watch for the fifth time. 

Kira and the kids had been gone for almost an hour. 

Luca entertained himself with a phone game. 

It was his rare day off. 

Every time he looked up, he would see the scowl on Austyn’s face. 

Both heads turned when the door was pushed open. 

But it wasn’t Kira 

Isabel held up the brown paper bags in both hands. “Lunch.” 

“Where’s Kira?” Austyn looked behind her. 

“She went home with the kids, 

Austyn frowned. 

‘She said since you had enough energy to get in a light, you would have enough energy to take care of yourself.” 

Actually, Isabel was the one who bundled Kira and the kids into a taxi. 

Kira’s bloodshot eyes did not escape her notice. 

Besides, the kids would feel better if they had their mother with thega 

Kira relented and left 

You told her to go home?” Austyn asked. 

“Yep. She needs to rest. 

“Local” Austyn raised his voice. ‘Get your wife out of here, now!! 

Luca rose to his feet and reached for Isabel’s wrist. ‘Let’s go.‘ 

She stepped away from him. “I can walk by myself!‘ 

He followed her out of the room. ‘Why did you let Kira leave? You know Austyn wants her to stay.” 

Isabel sneered. He wants a lot of things, but who says he has a right to get whatever he wants?! 

“What are you talking about? 

Isabel shot him a look. “Did you know that he’s engaged to another woman? Their wedding is in a month ” 

“What?” This was news to Luca 

But be refused to believe it. 

Austyn had regained his memory. 

There was no way he would marry someone else. 

But Luca had promised not to say anything, including to Isabel. 

So be had to hold his tongue 

Isabel didn’t want to spend another minute with her soon–to–be ex–husband. 

She stabbed at the button to call the lift. ‘Go tell Austyn, if he wants to marry another woman, then stop pestering Kira and sign the divorce papers.” 

Kira came home to find Gideon already there. 

He was sprawled on the sofa and mapping 

‘Uncle Gideon!‘ Jennie ran up to him. 

Gideon opened his eyes. 

He took lennie into his arms and perloed her on both cheeks. “Hi, honey, did you miss me? 

‘Yes’ Jennie’s eyes were shining brightly. ‘I missed you every day!! 

Gideon smiled. 

Then he turned to Joshua ‘HL Josh.” 

Joshua nodded. ‘Uncle Gideon‘ 

He was happy to see Gideon as well, but he wasn’t as thrilled as his sister. 

Deep down, he law Gideon was not his father. 

He treated the man the same way y as all his other uncles–Jesse, Luca and Damian. 

‘Honey, take your sister into the bedroom, Kira said to Joshua Mummy needs to talk to Uncle Gideon‘ Jennie was a bit reluctant to leave. 

She not have spent enough time with her favourite uncle 

Bur Jeshua lured her away with the promise of an ice cream come sometime in the future. 

Kira glared at Gideon the moment the bedroom door was closed. “How the hell did you get in here? 

Gideon smiled. “I have my ways‘ 

She held out her hand. ‘Did you make a copy of my key? Give it to me!‘ 

The smile on his face vanished 

He stood up. “I’ve had the key for four wars, but th 

years, but this is the first time I’m using it. Do yo 

Do you know why?” 

“Just give it back!” Kira wasn’t in the mood to talk to him. 

‘I thought I could wait‘ Gideon went up to her. “I was patient. I played the role of a good friend to you and a good uncle to the kids. I waited for you to come to me. I told you I wanted to marry you. I told you I would treat the kids as my own. Four years are long enough to prove I’m serious,” 

Kira stepped back, away from him. “And I told you repeatedly, no, I will not marry you. I made myself perfectly clear.” 

She turned down his offer to help her get an apartment. 

She refused to take the job at his company. 

She never spent any time alone with him. 

She only relented because he seemed to genuinely care about her children. 

Kira waved her phone in front of him. ‘You are the one who said you are play with being just friends. I saved your name as Brother Gideon. You saw it, and you were okay with it. Why are you still doing this?‘ 

‘Friends? Gideon curled his lip. “Would you have let me stay by your side if I said I wanted something more? 

So you lied to me core again. Kira was disappointed. 

You Don’t Have A Future With Austyn 

Kira only survived the four tough years of being a single mother because of the help from her friends.
