Chapter 78

"I thought we could co-parent. I genuinely believed we were past all the drama and that we were going forward." She clenched her fists, trying not to blow up on Damon as he walked towards them. "What's the meaning of this?" 

He looked defeated. "Can we talk about it inside?" 

"No. I am not letting your family into my house and if you don't send them off, you are not welcome either." 

To support her, Mina and Chloé blocked the entrance, and Angel diligently followed suit to protect his mother. 

She smiled at them and whispered her thanks. 

"What are they doing here?" She demanded an explanation. 

Damon pinched the space between his brows and lowered his voice as he reached to hold her shoulders. "Do you trust me?" 

"No I don't." She recoiled. There could never be a good reason to explain the presence of her worst enemies. Mabella's scream pulled her out of her trance, just in time for her to see Gabriel rain punches on Chris.
