Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 73
Chapter 73: You Don’t Look Too Happy
Eloise’s POV:
I stood in front of the apartment I rented, took a deep breath, and pulled the door open.
“Oh, my dear! You’re finally back. I felt that the house has become empty since you were gone.” Chloe welcomed me warmly and held my hand.
“How have you been recently? I thought your boyfriend was here too.” I looked worriedly at the sofa in my house, which was why I had snuck into the apartment. I didn’t want to delay the beginning of their private lives because of my existence.
However, as I was still living here, I had no choice but to come back at this time.
“Of course, it’s not bad, but Alvin’s been busy recently, so he hasn’t been coming by. I’m starting to miss him now that you’ve mentioned it.” Although she looked a little haggard, her eyes still lit up when she mentioned her boyfriend.
I couldn’t help but feel sorry for her. After all, I had seen this before.
I didn’t tell her what I had seen before. After all, I wasn’t sure that it was an affair. But regardless, I still felt sad when I heard her say that.
‘You don’t look too happy. Did you meet Atticus on your vacation?” she asked me curiously.
“How did you know he would go there?” It was my turn to be surprised.
“It’s easy to guess. After all, this is probably the only thing that can make you sad.” She smiled, looked at my shoulder, and hugged me to comfort me.
‘Think about all the experiences we’ve had over the years. Do they look like this?’
I had no way to refute him. It seemed like things between Atticus and I had always been the same. Even though I’d always liked him, it seemed like nothing had changed.
“It’s not good that I like him.” I sighed sincerely.
Moreover, there was no way to cut off the mate connection between us!
“Alright, don’t think about him anymore. YVhile you were away , Soren came to our apartment. He seemed to be here to help you move your things.” In the end, she changed the topic.
“But he left after he read the note you left.”
Yes, in the note, I asked him to wait until I returned before touching my thing. Even though I had already packed them, the place I was moving to wasn’t far from here. However, I was still worried about Chloe. I wouldn’t leave until [ solved her issue.
‘Yes, of course. But I think it’s more likely he was just checking if we’re safe.” I thought about my recent situation and replied her seriously.
“Now that you’re saying that, I feel much more at ease.” Chloe let out a loud sigh.
“Otherwise, I would be even more worried.’
During this period, the public security in this area was not very good. This was also why she had the opportunity to get to know the inspector general. In fact, she and the inspector general got to know each other through because of the multiple patrols. In the end, they got to know each other and got together.
There was something else behind this romantic love story.
For a huge human family like the Cotton, it was hard to imagine something like this would happen in their area unless this incident were targeted at them.
I thought of many possibilities. Every single one of them foretold a lousy outcome. I shook my head and tried to clear these things from my mind.
This wasn’t something I needed to consider now. I’d just returned from my vacation and had to buy everything I needed. That was why I had to go downstairs.
I saw Alvin’s car near the supermarket. The car had a unique accessory I saw in their photo together.
However, the man was nowhere to be seen.
Perhaps he was just working nearby. I looked at the list I made for myself, then turned and went into the shop next door. There he was, just standing there.
But why was there a girl with him? And they were hugging each other but so far away from the car? To be fair, I didn’t trust him. After all, his encounter with Chloe was too dramatic. However, I couldn’t tell her much until I had gathered some solid evidence.
Suddenly, I walked into someones embrace. I was just about to apologize when the watch on the man caught my attention.
This was Atticus’ favorite watch, and his clothes were the kind that Atticus often wore.
It couldn’t be such a coincidence_ .
“So this is what you meant when you said you aren’t approaching me on purpose?” Atticus looked at me with a complicated expression.
I didn’t think I could explain the situation..
