Chapter 149: She Definitely Doesn’t Need Me
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Atticus’ POV:
I was going to have dinner with Eloise. I’d even made a reservation. However, just as I was about to look for her, I realized that she wasn’t in the room.
This wasn’t normal, as she would usually inform me in advance if something happened.
Where could she have gone? And it’d only been a few hours since we were separated. Many possibilities appeared in my mind.
I didn’t think she’d run away in this situation because I believed in the agreement’s effectiveness. She was carrying too much on her shoulders now and would not be so irresponsible.
Was she in danger? Did someone take her away?
I didn’t know her other enemies, but she did cause trouble. I quickly got my subordinates to check her schedule.
“Alpha, we’ve found Eloise.” My subordinate called me.
“The location is…”
Thus, I used the fastest speed I could to get there.
And this was what I’d seen.
She was having dinner with a man.
While our agreement still existed, she should be concerned about our image.
I suddenly felt that Eloise was still her. Nothing had changed. The mate connection between us didn’t have any effect.
She could still do what she wanted without any burden.
“I was worried that the mate connection would make her uncomfortable, muttered to the wolf.
“You couldn’t be sure of… just from one image!” My wolf howled.
“If this goes on, you’ll lose each other.”
What was the big deal? It was an accident that we were together, a mistake.
She sat in front of the young agent, the smile on her face was better than any time she had ever smiled with me on this beach.
I followed the doctor’s advice and brought her here, but how could Eloise do this? I couldn’t understand it at all.
However, I’d already done what I could.
Were the things she said to Lisa fake? I thought she already believed that I was her mate.
To think that I once believed her. It seemed that it was just a way she thought of to escape in a hurry. She was still the woman who wanted to use me.
Besides, what did I do? I didn’t have a candlelight dinner with anyone as she did. I was only confronting Lisa. I didn’t even let her into our suite.
This was completely unfair.
My phone suddenly rang, and I had to pick it up. This made me temporarily withdraw from this matter.
“Regarding that matter, we’ve already made arrangements,” the person on the other end of the phone said. I thought about it and confirmed that it was Brook. The people at the Oak Pack must have arranged those things for me. Otherwise, they would not have contacted me.
“If you have time, you can come at any time. We are delighted to see you.”
“It won’t be long. I do need this,” I quickly replied. “If I could get the acknowledgment of all the packs as soon as possible, then I wouldn’t have to be controlled by my parents.”
As for Eloise, I believed she could continue her vacation here by herself. She didn’t need me anyway. I only had to tell her I had work to do.
“We also need you. This is a good thing for everyone.”
There was a slight noise on the other end of the phone as if the person had changed.
“Of course, we hope you can become Wolf King. At least you have a good relationship with us.” Amos sounded a little tired, but that wasn’t something I should be concerned about.
This was a dangerous compliment. At the very least, I didn’t have such thoughts. I almost didn’t know how I responded to them, but I tried my best to smile. I hung up.
“She’s just working. You have to believe her. After all, no matter what, she is still your mate.” My wolf was howling.
“She has the right to know about this kind of thing! This is too dangerous!” Was it? I thought she had long forgotten that I was still her mate!
Of all the things she did, which one proved that she still thought of me?
