He Chose His Mistress, so I Left With Our Son Chapter 9
New York.Today was Finn's first day of school.I woke up early to help him put on his daylight amulet, a magical artifact that protected him from the sun.Though we had only been in New York for two days, I had been planning this for months.Half a year ago, I reached out to a human friend living here. I asked him to help me secure a UV-proof apartment and find an open-minded school.At first, I didn't plan on leaving so soon; I just liked to have backup plans.Looking back, I was grateful for that habit.I also had to thank James. For all his faults, he was never stingy with his wealth during our time as mates.After watching Finn get on the school bus, I pulled my coat tighter and turned to head back inside.A familiar voice stopped me cold."Freya."I turned around stiffly. It was James.He looked paler than usual, but he was still devastatingly handsome.That was exactly how he’d fooled me back then.No one knew this, but before that night, I had harbored a secret crush on James f

James’s grip on his phone tightened until his knuckles turned white. He almost laughed out loud.Since when did Freya have a husband in New York?He was about to snap, but the little kid's voice came through the line again."Grandpa, come watch TV with me!"Marcus's voice softened instantly. "I'm coming, buddy. Just let Grandpa finish this call, okay?"It was that natural, unconditional gentleness a guardian has for their child.James stood frozen, listening to the phone, and uncontrollably thought of Finn again.He had a perfect family, too.But it seemed he had completely thrown them away.James sat on the cold stone steps of his estate all night.It was the most pathetic he had ever felt.Before, no matter how late he came home, there was always calming incense burning for him.There was always someone sitting quietly on the couch, waiting for him.Now, there was nothing.Just him, alone in a massive manor, waiting for the sun to rise.The next morning, James didn't even change his

Terrified that Elsa would embarrass him further, James avoided joining any other discussions for the rest of the night.He gave short, polite answers to anyone who approached him.The rest of the time, he sat in a dark corner, downing glass after glass of blood.When the banquet finally ended, he said his brief goodbyes and practically fled the venue.By the time he returned to the estate, he was completely exhausted. He rubbed his temples, pushed open the heavy doors, and called out out of habit:"Freya, light the incense."Silence echoed through the hall.James looked up at the dark, empty manor, and it finally hit him.She and Finn had left yesterday.He turned on the lights and went down to the cellar.As he pulled a blood bag from the fridge, he noticed that the cellar door was covered in little stickers.They were mostly human cartoon characters Finn loved.Looking at the childish stickers he used to find so annoying, James actually let out a soft laugh.He suddenly pictured Finn

At 6 PM, James brought Elsa to a banquet hosted by the Coven Elders.He hadn't caught Freya's scent in a full day. Standing there with his wine glass, he was entirely distracted.Did I go too far this time? The thought kept creeping into his head.James pressed his lips together and downed the glass of blood in one gulp.He pulled out his phone, planning to text her, when Elder Thorne approached."Prince James. Regarding the territory divisions from last time..."James snapped out of his daze, shifting instantly into business mode.Just as the conversation was flowing smoothly, a jarring voice cut in."Your Highness, do you like my dress?"Elsa spun around in a crimson gown, batting her eyelashes with exaggerated innocence.The interruption soured the mood immediately.But Elsa couldn't read the room. She giggled and squeezed her way to James, her clumsy movements knocking into both his and the Elder's glasses.Caught off guard, James was splashed with precious blood and shattered glas

Seeing the bold letters on the screen, a bad feeling settled in his gut.Just as he was about to open it, Elsa strutted into the office."Your Highness, here's the contract with the human corporation you asked for."She dropped the file on his desk and casually walked up to him, resting a hand on his shoulder.In the past, he entertained this unspoken flirtation.Now, the heavy perfume on her skin just made him nauseous.He sat up straight and flipped the folder open. One page in, his brow furrowed.The entire document was a mess. Aside from the formatting, almost nothing was right. She had even gotten the blood-type supply codes wrong—an embarrassingly stupid mistake.He slammed the folder onto the desk, his voice freezing cold."Who drafted this? Do you lack basic working competence?"Elsa's face drained of color. "I... I did it, Your Highness."All of his anger suddenly fizzled out into pure exhaustion.James looked at the terrified Elsa, feeling truly helpless for the first time.H

He stared at me in shock. "What did Finn... just call me?"I smiled. It felt like a sick joke."Isn't this exactly what you wanted, Your Highness?"For six years of our secret bond, James hadn't just hidden us away. He had never once allowed Finn to call him Father.The only difference was, in the past, he forced Finn to call him Your Highness.Now, Finn was drawing the line himself.I looked down and tried to yank my arm away, but his grip was like iron.James looked at me, his eyes filled with complex emotions."Give me a few days.""I'll explain things to Finn."I reminded him coldly, "Elsa is waiting for you. Let go."James seemed to suddenly remember where he was and slowly, reluctantly released me.I scoffed, taking Finn's hand to leave.But James suddenly called out, "Wait."He ran to the cellar and brought back a vial of premium, dark crimson blood, handing it to Finn."Happy birthday, Finn."Elsa chimed in from the side, smiling. "His Highness spent a fortune buying that for m
