My eyes stubbornly scanned through the ballroom looking for my son. Unfortunately, my eyes couldn't spot him which meant he wasn't here. Did Jungkook send him away because he saw me here? A painful question popped into my mind. It must be him. He must have sent him away from me. It felt as if my heart was being smashed by something hard brutally. But that was the reality. I let out a sorrowful sigh and stared at my food having no appetite to eat it. I need one glance at my son and I will not try to get involved again.

I gripped the fork tightly and moved my eyes to Jungkook who was sitting at the bar with a few men around him. He elegantly took the glass on the desk and finished it before standing up. My heart raced. I averted my gaze. The mate bond between us is strong and I can feel it. And this has become even more consuming and powerful just because we had a child together. But what's the meaning of this bond if he doesn't even spare a glance at me?

Again, my weak mind wanted to cry. Failing to hold my cries, a sob escaped from me. I never knew I would be this weak and pathetic. I thought I would face it better if I ever saw him again. But even after two years, l am such a failure.

"Excuse me I.. I'll go to the washroom and come," I said to Mingyu and got up. Without giving him a chance to speak, I hurried my steps away. I need a good cry. I need to cry. I'm emotionally so weak and I just can't help myself seeing those two who should have belonged to me. One is my mate and the other is my child... but they are both with another woman.

I found where the washroom was with the help of a lady who was there. I came in and looked at my face in the mirror. I was thinking about starting my life again but the past came back making me weak and wanting to take the step I took forward back. I stayed in the washroom staring at my broken soul like a mad woman.

I'm crazy... I'm crazy because I need what's mine although I know there's an agreement between everything. After crying silently for almost ten minutes, I washed my face and left the washroom.

I jumped back in a sudden gasp as I saw a person leaning against the wall beside the washroom. And when I realized it was him, I felt I was losing my sanity little by little. He was leaning against the wall blocking my path completely. I am unable to walk past him. I dug my nails into my palms as I clenched my fists.

His lustrous eyes were locked with mine but he didn't bother to say a word. If he has something to say, he should speak. Failing to hold his deep stare on me, I looked away. He knows only one thing and it is to stare at me like this. A word will never slip out of his mouth for me.

When his silence made me frustrated, I slowly moved, wanting to walk past him. Unexpectedly and hurting my heart, he moved away letting me leave. Why did I expect that he would say something? He never said anything to me. Without remaining there more, I hurried my steps away from him, controlling the annoying water supply in my eyes. Why am I always crying like a baby?

"Tzuyu,"

My steps halted. My heartbeat increased rapidly. It's the first time he called my name or me. I thought he didn't know my name until now. I clutched my dress tightly. I wanted to turn to him but at the same time, I didn't want to. I felt like looking at him would make things even harder for me. After he called my name he didn't say anything. Maybe it's because I didn't turn to look at him. He's an alpha and I know I should respect and be obedient yet, I couldn't move my body to look at him.

"Look at me." He said again. I didn't hesitate to face him this time. I looked at him as he asked me to. He sighed when I turned to him. Why is he talking to me now? After two years? No... not two years. It was almost three years because he never came when I was pregnant. After seven days, I never saw him until tonight. However, he hasn't changed at all. He still looked young and handsome. He's beautiful.
