Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 82

I set my computer and various drawing equipment before me. I was ready to start practicing. I had to improve my skills constantly. But before that, I needed to get some sun.

I walked to the window and subconsciously looked down. However, I saw a familiar person on the street.

That was the detective boyfriend of Chloe’s. But this time, he was holding a woman and walking into the alley.

No, I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t tolerate him betraying my friend like this. So I rushed to the elevator. When the elevator showed that we had reached the first floor, I didn’t even have the time to greet the bellboy because I only wanted to rush out as soon as possible.

However, at the entrance of the hotel, I ran into Chloe. I didn’t know what to say to her at this moment.

“Didn’t you have something to tell him? You can tell me now.” Atticus appeared again. From the direction he came from, he seemed to have just returned from the business street, or perhaps he had already finished lunch.

‘Damn it, why do I have to bother myself with that? Do I still have to care whether he’s eaten as I did before?

I didn ^rt know why, but I seemed to agree with his opinion completely. However, it was rare for me to appear on such an occasion.

I turned around to look at Chloe and told her what I saw with a voice almost like a scream.

“Your man! I saw him with a woman. They walked into the alley over there…’

She instantly understood what I meant. Her eyes widened as she dragged me along with her toward the alley.

In the dark corner, the man was lying on top of the woman and sucking her blood. The unique smell of blood, like rust, filled the air, making me feel nauseated.

She kicked the man in his back. Then, she threw the bag in her hand and used it as a hammer to smash him.

He let out a blood-curdling screech and turned around to pounce on us. It was at this moment that he finally realized who we were.

“No, Chloe, you have to listen to me!” Blood was still on his mouth, but his expression was sincere and pitiful.

“1 liked you, but I can’t trust you. You’re a vampire, and you’re even drinking their blood… Is this girl still alive?” The second half of her sentence was directed at the doctor who had just arrived. She heaved a sigh of relief when she saw the doctor’s affirmative look.

“That’s great,” she said softly. At the same time, the vampire hunters with silver bullets had arrived. They pinned the man to the ground and cuffed him up, ignoring his wailing.

Everything was over.

I supported her and was about to bring her back to my room to rest. But she insisted on being left alone for now. I couldn’t resist her, so I let her go.

I had nothing to do, but if I were to head in the direction of the hotel, I would not be able to miss Atticus, who was standing right there.

I could only walk toward him.

He was looking at the ground in a daze. I looked over curiously. It was a sign of someone being dragged.

The girl must have tried her best to escape, but she was no match for the vampire.

“What are you looking at?”

“No, I’m just wondering why he’S here. And… ” Attimus mumbled as if he were talking to himself. Then, he seemed to have thought of something and looked up at me.

“He even became the chief inspector here. It’s as if someone is helping him. This is too uncanny.”

It had been a long time since he wore this expression. I recalled that before I fell in love with him, he would look at me like I was his companion, but later on, there were no more beautiful feelings in his eyes.

Right now, I didn’t want to be friends with him at all. Not at all.

‘Well then. I’ll inform Soren and the others. This is something they should handle,” I replied as calmly as possible.

But I could hardly restrain myself from touching him..
