Chapter 23: He’s Here

Eloise’s POV:

Atticus still came. I heard this very unfortunate news in the company elevator.

“That Alpha is very handsome.” I heard the people around me discussing.

“I wonder if he is married? If not, I think…” They were even more enthusiastic in their discussion.

“This is normal. Being separated for too long will make you increasingly anxious when you’re already mates. Even if he was simply nearby, it would make you feel a little more at ease,” my wolf explained.

“Oh, alright then.” I just pretended I didn’t hear that.

I knew his coming here had nothing to do with me as long as no one in my company wanted to get me out of here.

I lowered my head and tried my best to focus on my phone. But the truth was that I couldn’t ignore what they were talking about.

“By the way, Eloise, didn’t you come from that pack? What do you know about him?”

When my name was called, I awkwardly looked up.

Looking at their eager gazes, I was momentarily at a loss for words.

That was right. What did I know about Atticus? I knew that he loved Lisa and what he liked, hated, and even his allergies.

Those things of his were like imprints carved into my life, but now I was about to forget him.

“I only know some rumors that could be found on the internet, but if you want to hear about it, I can still tell you some.” I tried my best to explain as calmly as possible and hid the parts related to me.

As for the other details, I didn’t think it was big enough of a deal to disclose. After all, we went to school together back then. So anyone in that school would understand this.

“So, does he have a girlfriend or not?” Hanna looked at me curiously.

“He has someone he likes,” I said firmly.

“But that girl is in poor health, so she rarely leaves the pack.”

“This is the worst news I’ve heard today!” They screamed. I simply shook my head and slowly walked to my desk.

I didn’t think I’d see him. He should be on the sightseeing route the leader had arranged for him.

The probability of him appearing on the beach was higher than beside me.

My phone rang when it was almost lunchtime. Chloe hurt her arm, and I had to go to the hospital to care for her. I handled the company’s affairs as fast as possible and rushed over.

“What… ?” I almost couldn’t believe my eyes. In the emergency room, Lisa was lying there, breathing in oxygen.

Why would someone like her be in a hospital like this? I felt like my brain was utterly unable to function.

“Ah, Sister.” She looked at me as if surprised that I would be here.

Why was she here? Did Atticus bring her here to announce her status as the future Luna?

Looking at her expression, I knew that must be it.

“Alpha told us to take good care of you,” Jude mumbled not far away.

“He’s busy right now… Wait a minute. It’s you? How are you?”

Obviously, he saw me. Although he sounded very surprised, his expression completely betrayed him.

At the very least, he wasn’t surprised to see me here.

“Hello. Goodbye,” I said calmly, then turned around and walked out. Since Chloe was not in this room, there was no need for me to stay.

I lowered the brim of my hat, and Atticus, who was walking toward me, didn’t notice me.

“Are you alright?” he asked Lisa gently.

I heard a group of little girls screaming crazily not far away.

To them, the matter of a werewolf and a werewolfs mate was too far away, so their minds were filled with this. But to me, this was no different from a warning.

Although he hadn’t completely cut off our spousal relationship for some reason, I knew that this relationship wouldn’t last long..
