She controlled the tears and did not let them fall out. Adeline's eyes were filled up to the brain and the tears threatened to fall out any moment which is why she increased the speed and made it to the car. The driver was the same.

"Adeline?" Mr. Korr.

​​

It was Mr. Korr. The driver was not the same.

"Please drive," She demanded from him, practically crying out the words.

He did not move for a second and Adaline was going to break her silence by crying loudly before she felt him move and start the car. She closed her eyes and sniffed as the tears fell out.

She felt grateful for him to do that.

She cried silently to herself in the car. Even though at the back of her mind, she was aware that he could hear everything she cried as silently as she could. She wanted no one else in her misery.

She heaved and she wailed before it was reduced to sobs.

The car came to a stop and she looked up to find the mansion of Mr. Korr in front of her.

"Please," she turned to the man, "do not tell this to aunt."

Korr looked visibily torn at what she had demanded. "I won't tell her today Adeline," he patted her head lightly, "but she will be aware if you decide to talk to her."

That was enough. That was all she needed as she gave him a shaky nod and ran upstairs to her bedroom crossing the butler too.

"Sir?" Javis said in concern to how the young lady had crossed the hallway crying. "Do I need to get the phone ready?"

Korr stepped out of the car and handed the key to the valet. "No, not now." He answered. "Perhaps I would let them deal with it and take the decisions that they make." He nodded to Javis before making his way upstairs.

He could hear the muffled crying. The poor girl must have shoved her face in the pillow to cry.

He turned to his own corridor when he saw his mother entering the room of his mate.

Shit, she must have been crying.

So instead of going to the room of his own he turns to where Tessa was staying.

"What happened?" He heard the voice of his mother even before he appeared in the doorway. He entered the room and closed the door behind him. Tessa was now sitting on the bed, looking concerned.

"Is it Adeline?" She asked as she looked at the mother and son duo in panic.

Korr glanced at her with a weary expression before giving her a nod, "yes, it is adaline."

"What?" Tessa hissed and stood up. "Wh—"

Korr stepped into her direction. "But I would advise you to not trouble her right now. I told her that she would be left alone for the night."

"What? Why?" Tessa frowned.

"No, that's not right," Jenna stepped forward as well with a shake of her head as she disagreed with the actions of her son, "by the way she is crying I can tell that she needs someone."

"Crying?" Tessa repeated. "Why is she crying?"

Korr sighed tiredly. "I do not. But if he needed to talk to someone then she would have come to you directly." He looked at Tessa, "You are a good listener and Adeline knows where you sleep. It won't have been difficult for her to come to you. Perhaps she wants to be alone right now." He said to both of them.

"By my orders, Adaline is to be left alone tonight. Only if she begins to talk to both of you about this then you shall proceed." His eyes sharpened, "until and unless she does not you are not to talk about this. If she wishes to forget the night, then she can do that."

Jenna broke the stare first and looked away. " Was she?" She whispered out in fear, clutching the clothing above her heart.

"No," Korr denied immediately, "I would have known."

She nodded then. "I'll met you two in morning," she set before looking up once again, "hopefully three." She said before walking out the room and living both of them alone.

Tessa stared at the door for a second or two before turning back to the man. "What happened, Korr? What happened to adaline?"

He shook his head, " I do not know and the lack of information does not sit well with me but I do not want to force the child. All I know is she came to the car crying and alone."

"Well, then," she looked here and there before finally taking off the covers and sleeping her feet into the shoes. She stood up and started walking to the only to be held by him.

"What?" She glanced at his hands.

"I said she is to be left alone, Teresa. I mean it." He repeated firmly for her. " I told her that I would tell you about this and you will be aware but I also said that you will leave alone for tonight."

She sucked her lips in and sighed loudly before shaking her head no. " I can't do that." She admitted. "I need—I would not say anything. Just let me stand outside her room." She begged.

He sniffed silently. She was not lying. With the desperate expression that was on her face Korr could not deny her anymore.

He nodded and with her hand in his, they both walked to where Adeline's room was and stood in front of the door as Tessa pressed her ear to it.

She could hear it. Her human ear could totally hear it but her heart could not.

Adelen was not crying, she was wailing.

"Oh my," Tessa stepped back and she placed her hand over her mouth to stop her own tries. This was hard to even overhear.

"Oh my god," she turned to Korr who looked just as disturbed. She dove in his arms and he held her close.
