Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 72

But my journey would not be affected by him. No matter what, I’d already spent the money on my plane ticket, and the hotel reservation would not change because of this. So, I wanted to spend my vacation well.

I sighed and tried to return to the water.

However, the image of Atticus appeared in my mind. I hated him even more than before.

I picked up my blanket and helplessly got up. These things were beyond my expectations, and I couldn’t control them. At the very least, I was no longer in the mood to bask in the sun.

‘Wait a minute, look over there!” My wolf suddenly screamed in my mind.

I looked up. Not far away was a man who looked similar to Chloe’s detective boyfriend. However, when I looked closely, another girl was next to him. I suspected my eyes were playing tricks on me, but when I heard the woman say his name, I believed I was seeing it right. But should I tell Chloe?

While I was hesitating, the group of people disappeared from my sight. I thought about it and decided to keep it quiet for now. After all, if I wronged a good person, it would hurt their relationship, and her relationship with me would not be as good as it was.

I thought about it and kept this matter in mind. I would continue to pay attention to this in the future. If it were true what I suspected, I would tell her.

“How was your holiday?” It was like deja vu! I received a message from Chloe right then. Immediately after, she sent a video call request.

What else could I do? I hesitated about whether to tell her about this. However, looking at her excitement on the other side of the video call, I decided to keep it a secret for the time being. I only nodded at her in response.

She showed me the medal she received and said it was her honor. I felt even happier than she was.

Her career had become so successful, so perhaps love was not that important. [ nodded at her and hung up.

After returning to the hotel, I tried lying on the bed. However, the truth was that I couldn’t ignore these things like I used to. After all, Atticus still messed up my life.

‘ISO, what should we do? Do you want to go back early?” My wolf asked in confusion.

“No, I don’t think that’s a good idea. I should go somewhere else and continue my vacation. That’s how my vacation should go , ” I answered while carrying my luggage.

Even though I was trying my best to avoid being affected by him, the truth was that I couldn’t ignore this influence anymore.

“Eloise, take it easy. If you don’t see him, it won’t bring any inconvenience to your life. On the contrary, if he rejects you, the days in the hospital will be the most difficult,” my wolf reminded me.

Although my wolf was right, it had forgotten one detail.

The mate connection originated from the attraction of the soul. The reason I was able to endure this before was that I maintained my absolute rationality Under such circumstances, no one could get close to me.

However, there was another problem. If I saw Atticus again and in an irrational situation, I would be a time bomb.

I didn’t want anything to do with him anymore, ever.

“1t would be great if I could solve this forever.” I sighed.

But I knew that was impossible.

As long as Atticus didn’t want to, I would never be able to get close to him. By then, it would be impossible to solve the problem..
