Atticus’ POV:
Eloise was now walking toward another painting. There were still many people in front of her. And Soren went over as well.
“Atticus?” Lisa’s voice rang in my ears.
But I was not in the mood to think about it now.
All I could think about was Eloise. I had to make her tell me the truth. After all, we were still married.
I recognized this person. He had appeared in this area before, but we were all very young then.
However, as a human, he had left a long time ago.
Besides, what was the relationship between him and Eloise now?
Before I could react, I had already squeezed through the crowd and was standing next to Eloise.
Eloise looked at me in surprise.
Her breathing quickened, and so did mine. This was the sign of meeting a mate. If we let this situation continue, we’d soon be like last time, leaning against one another.
Her lips were already torn by my bite, making her a little embarrassed. However, it was not so obvious because she was wearing a veil.
Nevertheless, just as I was about to take a step forward, she gave me a strange smile.
“Hello, Alpha,” she said.
‘I think this will become very bad.’ My wolf warned me in my mind.
I didn’t need his reminder. I could already feel it. Almost at the same time she said that, the people looking at her looked at me.
Compared to a woman introducing a painting, I was obviously more interesting.
“This is the Alpha here!”
“Hello, why are you here at the exhibition today…”
Those people instantly moved toward me. I became the center of attention and everyone was surrounding me. Eloise took the opportunity to run away.
Even though I wanted to chase after her, I had no choice but to start dealing with the questions.
Lisa was squeezed out of the crowd. She looked very disappointed. However, I was surprised that I didn’t want to ask her to stand next to me.
“We noticed that you’re wearing a ring on your finger. Have you found your Luna?” One of the reporters shoved his microphone at me.
“Yes, she’s here. So if you don’t mind, I’m going to look for her. “I couldn’t stand their questions anymore.
Eloise had already disappeared from my sight. I had no way of finding her. I could only stay in an empty corner and quietly wait for the exhibition to end.
“Is that Eloise? She seems to be…” I heard a reporter mumbling not far away. She was about to take a photo when I interrupted her with a cough.
I looked in the direction she pointed.
I could see the parking lot outside the glass curtain from where we were standing. Eloise was chatting with someone. Then, she got into a car.
However, that car was not from my pack.
She just got into a man’s car just like that?
I didn’t expect her to make such a decision while we were still married.
If it were a normal mate relationship, my heart would hurt at this moment, but I didn’t feel anything.
It seemed that even the Moon Goddess was taking care of me. She didn’t want me to suffer any pain.
Lisa’s reflection appeared in the mirror in front of me. I tried my best to make myself look less sad.
“I just met a few friends I haven’t seen in a long time… I hope I can come out and see them more often in the future.” Her eyes lit up.
I had never seen this light before. It was apparent she was in a good mood, which would help her recover better.
“Of course, as long as the doctor allows it,” I quickly replied.
My phone’s screen lit up. It was a message from Eloise, but I wasn’t in the mood to read it. So I immediately deleted the message.
“Was that work?” Lisa turned to look at me.
“It was just a spam mail.” I tried my best to calm down and put my phone back.
“It won’t affect any of my schedules.”
She nodded. Under the light of the setting sun, she didn’t look so cold.
“I’m still feeling a little dizzy. This isn’t a particularly good sign.” She held onto the car door and mumbled softly.
“I think I need the supplement you gave me before. It’s very effective.”
“I will try my best to find it, but that thing is very precious.” I didn’t know how to answer for a moment.
This was because the supplement was Eloise’s blood..
