Now that the family couldn’t protect me anymore, I was very clear about that.

Mr. Cotton was already sick, and he might not be able to last much longer. When that time came, my situation would worsen.

I didn’t want to face that, but it would happen.

“I said I’m here to work. It’s more like a vacation.” He looked at the scenery outside the window.

It was already evening, and the scenery was like a beautiful oil painting.

“Since that’s the case, you should also enjoy life,” I said seriously. He looked so haggard, as if he had not slept for months.

“Yes, of course, I know. However, I still have to complete what I’ve been told to do. I can’t break my promise.” He looked at me and scratched his head in embarrassment. Then, he handed me a bag.

There was a letter and a hard disk inside.

I knew about him and Soren. When he was in trouble, Soren saved him. Because of this, he also helped Soren with many things.

I raised my head and was about to speak when I suddenly felt a shadow cast over me from the window.

That was…

Atticus!

I looked at him through the glass and saw my shocked expression in the reflection.

I couldn’t imagine why he was here now. This was not the person I knew. I think he should at least still be working.

By the time I was done thinking about this, he was already in the room. He stood there and looked down at Chasel and me.

“Hello, sir. I am…” Chasel was rummaging through his backpack and was about to take out his identification.

“Look at what you’re doing now, Eloise.” Atticus ignored Chasel. This kind of disregard made Chasel very embarrassed. I tried to help him, but there was nothing I could do.

“Don’t you want to talk to me about this?” Atticus just looked at me, and then a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face.

“I don’t need to report my schedule to you.” I mustered up my courage and answered him with the same expression as him.

“Alright then, I don’t think I should react like this.” He turned around and left without even saying goodbye to us. This was not in line with his upbringing.

It was too strange.

“He’s your boyfriend? He looks very angry.” Chasel continued to drink his coffee, his face full of confusion. But suddenly, his expression seemed to freeze, and his eyes widened.

“I remember this person! He is…”

“I guess so. I’m really sorry for letting him disturb you,” I said guiltily.

But I didn’t understand why he was behaving like this. He had also met Lisa alone. I thought we were just doing the same thing.

“It’s nothing. I’m very happy to be able to help you. After all, you’ve helped us a lot before.” He waved his hand, then turned his tablet over.

“You look better than before but still a little terrible. I hope you’ll be happy…

Humans can’t feel the pressure of Alpha werewolves, this made me feel relieved. However, this did not mean that Chasel could not feel the atmosphere. I could already see he was sad.

But why was Atticus angry about this? I didn’t get it. He was just my colleague, nothing happened between us. He had that kind of contact with Lisa before, so he shouldn’t be angry about it.

I only spoke a little more with my friend. He wasn’t like this in the past. He never participated too much in my life.

Atticus was acting weirder..
