Atticus’ POV:
I looked at Lisa. I didn’t know what she was trying to say, but my instinct told me it was better to stay away from her.
She was a very smart girl, and I didn’t want to be tricked by her because of my carelessness.
“There’s nothing to talk about between us.” I insisted on my opinion. There was no longer any relationship between us. I knew what she was thinking when she agreed to release the news. She wanted too much, and I didn’t want to give it to her.
However, she blocked the door with force. If she didn’t let go, I’d hurt her if I forcefully closed the door.
I could call the bodyguards, but I’d rather give her some face and hear what she wanted to say.
So I just stood there and watched her quietly.
“Our relationship shouldn’t end like this,” she spoke in a gentle tone and looked very sad.
However, this kind of story could no longer move me.
“I don’t think we’ve ever had a beginning or end.” I tried my best to make my voice sound calm enough.
But I believed it was hard for us to have a proper ending, at least in the current situation.
“No, I just wanted to say that I can help you. For our pack, our cooperation is a good thing.”
She looked up at me pitifully.
“You know, I’m telling the truth. The matter between us should never have ended here. I’m not the only one standing in front of you now. I’m someone who wants to work with you.”
I couldn’t deny that.
She could get my parents ‘approval’ because they needed an Alpha heir. Lisa’s identity was suitable for this.
However, I’d already decided not to listen to them.
I realized that Lisa was not the kind of person I thought she was. Or rather, she’d always been different from how she appeared in front of me.
She swayed and fell in my direction. I subconsciously supported her.
She looked so fragile as if she would be hurt easily. She should not have come here.
“You should go back to the hospital.” I tried to sound serious. Then, I pushed her out of the door.
“You shouldn’t stay here. No matter what, your body’s condition should be your top priority.”
“But, I’m… ” she looked at me hesitantly.
I realized that closing the door now wouldn’t affect her, so I quickly did it. I hoped that this wouldn’t have any negative impact.
A few hours later, I walked out the door. I didn’t know where Lisa had gone, but I believed this crisis had been resolved. Right now, I wanted to go out and swim to improve my mood.
However, I heard girls arguing when I reached the first floor.
I realized that it was Eloise and Lisa’s voices.
I stood behind the potted plant and used it to shield my body. I wanted to know what the two of them would say.
“Do you think he’d allow you to stay by his side for a long time?” Lisa looked at Eloise and said with a pitiful expression.
“I think you should understand that in our family, nothing lasts long, even more so for love.
“So, don’t expect to win Atticus’ heart just because of this.”
Lisa acted as if she was very worried about Eloise.
“I was worried about you and got hurt because of it. My dear sister, you’re naive…”
Was I such a person? I began to feel suspicious. However, it seemed like Lisa was worried about Eloise. At the very least, I shouldn’t have doubted the relationship between the two sisters.
Eloise looked at her as if Lisa was saying something funny.
“This is just a rumor. In other words, you care so much because you’re also putting pressure on your parents?” she asked in a relaxed tone. Then, she also showed the same sympathetic expression.
Lisa’s expression suddenly froze. I knew she was right.
From what I could remember, Eloise was never a woman who would talk to people like that.
She had changed a little during this time, but it might not be enough. She was still too far away from being ‘powerful’..
