Chapter 33
Just when I thought Enzo was going to blame me, suddenly Enzo picked me up and had me in his arms in a bridal carry.
“There’s broken glass on the floor. Be careful where you step,” Enzo said, looking tenderly at me. I was shocked.
Then, Enzo said, “Cindy and I are merely partners. Don’t misunderstand.”
“Also…” Enzo turned to look at Mary and Cindy, who were also stunned, and coldly added, ” Clean up this place and go back to sleep.”
Mary looked extremely embarrassed, but Enzo ignored her. He carried me directly into my bedroom.
I didn’t even fully realize what happened until he sat me down on the bed.
Enzo didn’t blame me but indulged me simply because I was his mate ached. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Enzo sighed. “I know you wouldn’t have done such a thing.”
“Then why didn’t you explain it?”
“Mary is the one who took care of me growing up, after all. She’s aged. I just wanted to save what’s left of her reputation.”
He bent down and gently kissed my forehead.
“Enough. Stop overthinking it and get some sleep. We’re going out tomorrow, remember?” The incident with Mary reminded me of my miserable past. For the whole night, my nightmares kept coming back at me.
The next morning I woke up earily despite the lack of sleep, just as Enzo wanted.
The maid brought me a long, beautiful dress. I wore makeup to cover the dark circles under my eyes, which I rarely did. Enzo was waiting downstairs for me. When he saw me, I was sure his eyes lit up and glowed was
“You’re beautiful,” he complimented me without hesitation.
“Thank you. Where are we going?” “You’ll know when we get there,” Enzo replied. Enzo drove the whole way, reminding me of my time in my old pack where he did the same, driving me to the first place we met.
It felt like yesterday but also a long time ago.I felt a sudden wave of emotions. I wondered how Melissa was doing?I hope she could regain her kindness, even though she told me very seriously that she was never kind.
“What are you thinking about?” Enzo asked.
I shook my head and said nothing.
The wind ruffled my hair, and I closed my eyes. Slowly, a floral fragrance reached my nose.
“We’re here,” Enzo told me, and the car stopped. I looked up to see flowers everywhere, as far as my eye could reach. The sea of flowers was splendid and colorful, filling the world with life. I was stunned and couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s gorgeous.
“I told you I’d show you a sea of flowers when we came here,” Enzo said and smiled at me
.” Do you like it?”
“I do,” I replied him sincerely, still stunned by the beauty of the scene before me.
I ran toward the flowers and felt relaxed for the first time in a very long time.
Enzo chased after me from behind. When I heard his laughter ringing out behind me, I couldn’t help my heart racing.
That morning might be the one I would look back on for many years to come. After taking a lot of photos, Enzo checked his watch. With deep reluctance on his face, he told me that he had a pack meeting he needed to attend in the afternoon and that we would need to return home now.
He was indeed a qualified Alpha. Most of the time, he was busy with pack matters. When I recall that he was only twenty-two years old, I couldn’t help but admire him.
Perhaps it was because of the infectious joy that morning, so I asked Enzo a question before we got out of the car.
I admit that it was a spur of the moment, but I plucked up my courage and asked him anyway.
“Enzo,” I said and looked at him solemnly. “If… and I mean if…” I took a deep breath before continuing, “If I wasn’t your mate, would you still treat me so well and like me?”
Enzo was startled for a moment. He blinked and raised his dashing eyebrows. I was a little nervous, but at the same time, I was also anticipating his answer. “That hypothesis isn’t valid,” Enzo replied as he tilted his head, as though he couldn’t understand why I would ask such an absurd question.
He continued firmly, “You’re my mate. We were destined to love each other and be together. Although you refused to open your heart to me in the beginning…”
He smiled. “I’m confident you’ll fall in love with me sooner or later.”
When Enzo started by saying my hypothesis wasn’t valid, my hopes were dashed. I couldn’t focus on what he said after that, so I forced a smile and said, “Yeah. It’s not valid.”
Then, i opened the door and got out.
Enzo gave me a confused look, but his tight schedule urged him to start the engine.
It wasn’t until I saw Enzo’s car disappear from sight that the wry smile on my face slowly faded
At this moment, I suddenly heard people arguing
I looked up to see Cindy standing in the yard, arguing with a blond girl.
“Can’t you see? My shoes are filled with blood! I was hurt because someone put nails in them, and that’s why I lost!”
The blonde girl was all sweaty, trying her best to defend herself. “So? What are you trying to say?”
“You should help me find out who put nails in my shoes instead of blaming me for coming in last!”
Cindy gave the girl a hard look and said calmly, “Lilla, if you don’t have any proof, why should I waste my time solving child quarrels like this?”
Cindy frowned and had an impatient look on her face. I looked at Lilla’s feet, and the bright red blood that met my eyes stung.
The wise thing for me to do is to walk around them and leave. Staying out of trouble was my first rule for staying safe in this pack.
But I was their Luna.
So, even though I knew that I was just a pathetic marriage partner in Cindy’s eyes, a piece of trash that stink to the worst, I still stood up.
“I’d like to know what’s happening,” I said to Cindy as I walked up. Cindy sneered. “This is something that happened in our training fields. Nothing that concerns a loser like you. Instead of meddling around
here, perhaps the kitchens would suit you better.”
I took a breath and forced myself to calm down.
“As their trainer, you should be responsible for handling their affairs. Have you done so?” I confronted Cindy.
Cindy narrowed her eyes slightly. That look was filled with disdain.
I ignored her and instead turned to Lilia and asked, “If you’re willing to trust me, mind telling me what happened?”
Lilla looked at me, obviously not convinced.
“I’m your Luna. I think I can help you. Well, at least…” I glanced at Cindy and said, “I’m not going to ignore it as she did.”
Lilla gritted her teeth. After a few seconds of hesitation, she spoke, “There was a race in the training fields this morning. I could have finished first, but someone put nails in my shoes, and I was injured, which was why I lost the race…”
Lilla’s eyes were red with anger. “I admit that I have my own problem in it, but as a trainer, shouldn’t Cindy help me find out who caused trouble in the first place?” Cindy brushed Lilla’s words aside irritably. “If someone really is causing trouble, it only proves that you’ve made too many enemies. I’m too occupied for this nonsense right now.”
With that said, Cindy turned and walked toward the villa.
“Stop!” I called out behind Cindy. “If you don’t want to fix this, I’ll do it.”
Cindy turned. Crossing her arms, she gave me a mocking smile and said, “Who gives you the right to take care of it? You’re just a gift from the Blue River Pack. Shut your mouth and play your role-a trophy wife.”
