Chasing And Claiming My Rejected Omega Mate:Alpha's Severe Regret [BL] Chapter 26: The Little Girl

Rory

Sha clog up my entire inside as I walked forward. I was on the verge but refused to give into the urge, not under the focus of the entire onlookers.

I shoved my hands in my pockets, head casted down as I kept on going.

I wasn’t sure of how long it has seen since I got sent away by that angry woman. Has it been minutes? Hours? I wasn’t sure, but one thing I was sure of, was that it felt like I’d faint any mont from now, having been walking and walking for a long while.

The sun was very bright in the shy and it was worsening my dehydrated state and making it harder for to keep going, but it wasn’t like I had any choice.

After so ti, a little child ran up to , small hands wrapping around my legs and my eyes widened as I peered down at the baby, mouth falling open.

I cleared my throat and glanced around, trying to figure out where the child’s mother was. The child began to cry, hands in the air, a clear request to be picked up. The child looked cute with round cheeks and big, brown eyes. Her hair were in pigtails and her mouth was stained with sothing that resembled milk.

Whose child is this?

I glanced around once again, wondering how the child was able to sneak from underneat her mother’s nose when the sound of the child crying tugged back to the present. I swallowed emptily and reached down to pat the baby’s head, an apologetic look on my face.

"I can’t pick you up, little one... apart from being a complete stranger, I’m also way too weak to do that." I explained, and it was writer this child didn’t care or didn’t understand because she continued to wail until I sighed and carefully pick her up.

She quieten almost imdiately, arms wrapping around my shoulders and face hidden in my throat. I felt my heart ached a little as I got reminded of my own child, said child which I was undoubtedly neglecting so much.

I glanced around once in again, in search of the child’s mother when a woman with tears rolling down her cheeks ran right into , stopping right before she collided with . Her teary eyes widened and her mouth fell open. My heartbeat accelerated, it was clear that this woman was this child’s mother and I instantly began to apologize.

"I’m so sorry, I didn’t harm her I swear, she ca to and refused to leave my legs or stop crying until I picked her up." I spoke fast as I tentatively stepped close to her, eying her hands wearily to be able to tell if she’d attempt to slap .

But that didn’t happen. Instead, she burst into another round of tears while shaking her head. "Oh no, I’m not accusing you of doing a thing to you, she’s clearly clinging to you willingly. It’s just that she hates strangers and almost never warms up to them so I was shocked to see her settled and quiet in your arms." The woman explained and I let out an awkward chuckle before glancing down at the child who still has her arms wrapped around my shoulders.

"She looks like a sweet girl." I offered while breathing through my nose as I felt myself significantly grow more tired from all this talking along with carrying this child who wasn’t as light as she appeared.

"Believe , she isn’t. She showed hell everyday, which was why she decided to run out of the house after doing sothing she knew she shouldn’t have. She’s gonna end up being the death of at this point..." The woman continued, no longer crying. Instead, her eyes lit up as she spoke about her child and even though I’d really like to listen to her talk about this sweet child, it felt like I might collapse on the ground in the next mont, and so I cut her off with a forced smile on my face as I held the child out to her.

"Can you please..." I trailed off while holding the child to her. She let out a startled laugh and hurried to accept her drowsy child.

"I’m so sorry for the inconvenience." She breathed out as she balanced her child in her arms and I nodded before offering her another smile, which felt like a grimace.

"It’s okay." I responded quietly, and my legs shook a little as I slowly walked past her, feeling significantly weaker than I was minutes ago.

I had barely taken two steps forward before the woman ca to walk beside , an unsure look on her face as she offered a smile.

"Wanna stop by for food? Or just tea? I really wanna thank you for protecting my daughter for ." As she spoke, I flinched, because it felt like she was regarding with pity, and I hated being pitied so much.

If I wasn’t feeling like I might faint, I’d have declined her offer. Instead, I nodded almost eagerly.

"I- okay. Um, I guess I can stay for tea, or... food."

She chuckled softly and I ducked my head in embarrassnt just as she took my hand in hand and began to lead towards where I assud was her house.

~~~

She led to an apartnt, up a bunch of stairs and until a very cozy and warm apartnt. She urged to wait while she go put her child down and after that, I asked if I could get so water which she provided almost imdiately.

My stomach hurt as I drank the water and I knew it was because I haven’t eaten a thing in a long while. As I chugged down the water, she presented a cooked, full course al to and as the scent waffled into my nose, I almost cried tears of joy as I dug in.

She excused almost imdiately and I was about to eat the food in a way that would definitely make her give a weirded out look if she had been present.

As I ate, I wasn’t sure of what tonight or the day after held for , but I was very grateful for the present, and for that little child who ran into .
