Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 107

“Don’t worry. There aren’t any particularly bad pictures. It’s just a press conference. I think you can do it, right?”

Normally, I would hate such an expression. But now, I didn’t even have the strength to refute it.

I’d never imagined that it would be like this.

Compared to this, I was more worried that Chloe would misunderstand. After all, he was once her boyfriend. After getting Soren’s permission, I quickly called her. The moment I picked up my phone, he had already left my room.

She answered my video call. She looked very haggard.

“1 saw that message.” She looked at me with a smile.

“However, I just want to tell you not to worry. That’s why I answered your call now.”

But I was more worried about her misunderstanding. I quickly explained everything to her in as much detail as possible.

“0f course, I believe you. After all, we’ve known each other for a long time, haven’t we?” Chloe suddenly laughed. Then, her expression turned serious.

“1 know you better than he does. I don’t hate him for being a vampire, but I can’t accept him treating humans like that.”

When she said that, I felt much more relaxed. However, this still couldn’t hide the guilt in my heart.

Her life didn’t need to become like this. This was all my fault. Perhaps, that person approached her because of me and hurt her heart.

“But how did he escape? This is the strangest part.” I sighed sadly.

I couldn’t control everything because I was in the werewolf’s territory.

‘Well, there was an explosion here two days ago. It’s said that a group of vampire hunters lived there, but it’s a lie.”

Seeing how confused I was, she moved closer to the camera. This mysterious feeling made me feel that what she was going to say was very important. ‘Well, that’s not important. What’s important is that it seems like the vampires really escaped. There are indeed people here helping them.”

“Leave that place now, my dear. I think it’ll be very dangerous after this. Then, when I return,        I couldn’t let her live there anymore.

“0f course, I’ll stay,” she interrupted me.

I was stunned.

We’d been friends since we were young, but I’d never expected her to do these things for me in such a dangerous time. My apologetic words were already in my mouth, but I almost couldn’t say them out loud.

‘We’re friends, closer than family. So, you don’t have to worry.”

She said and then hung up.

I only felt like I was drowning. I lay on the bed and couldn’t stop crying. This was all my fault. Look at what I’d done. I was so upset that I didn’t react when the door was pulled open again. It wasn’t until that person walked in front of me that I had the time to look at that person.

However, this time, it was not Soren. It was Mrs. Cotton. She looked at me worriedly.

I didn’t understand why she was here, but it was obvious she could also come to the werewolf gathering. She quickly walked up to me and held my hand.

I could tell that she was worried.

“My poor child__ ” she said gently and with a compassionate expression. The warmth from her hand made me feel at ease as if my mother was still here..
