Eloise’s POV:
I didn’t know what else I could say to Soren besides ‘thank you’, but it was meaningless to say that. So, I kept quiet.
But I could be sure that, at least for now, he still sincerely wanted to help me.
I was very grateful to him, but I didn’t know what else I could do for him. Our relationship wasn’t good enough for him to treat me like this. I felt guilty.
“You’ve done too much for me. I don’t know how to repay you.” I thought for a moment and said softly.
“And… I’m too confused right now.”
Besides, I still couldn’t accept my current identity. I’d given myself too much pressure.
“No, what you need now is a good rest. You don’t need to worry about anything else,” Soren replied quickly. He parked the car in an apartment building with beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows and the best view of the river.
However, this did not change my mood. I still felt as if something was nibbling away at me.
My wolf remained silent, and I didn’t want to talk too much with it. I just sat by the window in silence, looking at the setting sun outside.
At that moment, my phone rang.
I looked at my phone in surprise. Although I wasn’t in the mood to delete Atticus’ phone number, I always thought he wouldn’t call me on his own accord.
Given our current relationship, I answered it. Atticus’ voice came through the phone. He didn’t sound happy.
“What’s wrong?” I casually asked. I didn’t care about his feelings. If anything happened to him, I’d hang up immediately.
“You want me to go on a trip with you?” I could not believe my ears.
“Yes, this is a formal invitation.” Atticus suddenly laughed, but I wasn’t sure if it was real.
“We’re a couple. Isn’t it normal for us to do this?”
Yes, this was very normal. But I was not mentally prepared for this. I still couldn’t accept the fact that he was going to appear by my side.
However, at this moment, it seemed like I had lost to him completely. I couldn’t accept this.
“Of course. I’ll be prepared,” I answered him thoughtfully.
So, according to Atticus, we should go on a trip together.
Before I started choosing my destination, he sent me a message.
He had chosen a beach.
Although I didn’t have any place I wanted to go, I didn’t think this was a good choice.
“You’re still very worried about him,” my wolf said.
“But you must know he’s doing this now because he’s feeling guilty. He won’t hurt you in this situation.”
His pack had some businesses in that area, but it was too far away from my family. I was worried that he might suddenly decide to do something to me when I got there.
Even if he wanted to kill me, I couldn’t resist.
Once this thought appeared, I could no longer look at him calmly. He seemed to be that terrifying.
I could only sigh and hope to communicate with him.
“This isn’t a good choice.” I seriously evaluated it.
“I still hope you can change to a region that both of us can accept. For example, a ski resort.”
I didn’t think appearing in a public place like the beach was good, especially when our relationship hadn’t eased yet. At least our faces wouldn’t be seen when we were skiing.
“I will arrange everything. You don’t have to worry about anything.” Atticus sounded firm.
“And I’ll pay for all the expenses.”
My current financial situation was starting to worsen.
I didn’t work during this time because my physical condition didn’t allow me to go to the office. My income was also very limited.
sounds good, too,” I answered.
“It won’t take too long, so I should treat this as a performance,’ I kept telling myself..
