Atticus’ POV:
“I don’t think we can reach a consensus,” I looked into Eloise’s eyes and replied seriously. At the same time, I was also analyzing her expression.
But she simply looked at me. There was nothing in her eyes, which made me feel confused.
A long time ago, this pair of eyes would have looked at me differently. At least back then, she wasn’t like this.
I didn’t think so. We could still have a good discussion. She sighed softly and continued to look at me with the same expression.
It looked like her heart had been hurt by something, which made her add another barrier to herself.
“Don’t you know very well who hurt her?” My wolf sneered with a voice that sounded like it was gasping.
“But you don’t want to admit it. You think she’s annoying, and you don’t love her—something like that.”
“You can’t be an Alpha just by having sympathy.” I disagreed with its point of view.
“This is not sympathy. I don’t think I can continue if you still don’t understand. Maybe you should see a psychiatrist,” my wolf suggested.
Before I could say anything else, it went silent. I could only stand up straight and look at Eloise.
She held her other hand with one hand and rubbed it uneasily. This was a sign of nervousness. After all, she couldn’t grow in such a short time. I understood this very well.
But no matter what, she was much smarter than before. I assumed she must have thought of something. So, at least for now, I couldn’t appear more anxious than her.
Her expression suddenly softened. She seemed to have understood something. She looked up at me firmly. This made me feel somewhat confused.
“I’m willing to remarry you, but there are conditions. However, I think it’s better to be fair,” she said in a gentle but unquestionable tone.
Who gave her such courage? Could she have received help from someone during this time? But why would she make her situation so terrible if that were the case?
For the first time, I felt like I didn’t know her, which made me interested in her.
“What made you talk to me like that? Eloise, there’s only a layer of connection between us, but we both know it’s not feelings.” My face turned cold as I didn’t want to continue discussing this with her.
But her expression didn’t change, and she even stopped trembling.
“There’s something else you care about, right?” She looked at me and suddenly revealed a smile that made one feel fear.
Her expression seemed to say that she didn’t need anything.
This was undoubtedly terrifying because someone who didn’t want anything would be very negative or look crazy.
Under such circumstances, I honestly had no way of defeating her.
But would she do that?
“Try to think, Atticus. She has nothing left.” My wolf sighed.
“There’s almost no one in this world who actually care about her.”
However, she was in a state where she didn’t even want to live. I didn’t think I could be crazier than her in this situation.
I could only admit defeat because I had to admit this was what I needed more. I wanted her to help me get rid of all these troubles and give me my pack. After that, I’d be able to do everything I wanted.
Many of her emotions were due to the mate connection, or at least that was what the doctor said. But no matter the reason, this was her current situation.
“You’ve won.” I looked at her darkly.
“I promise you. I can get my lavvyers to negotiate with you if you need it. I won’t let you feel upset..”
