Alpha's Substitute Bride - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: She Shouldn’t Have Appeared
Atticus’sPOV:
I didn’t know when Page had walked to my side. I was so focused on the phone call that I neglected her.
This was probably the thing I regretted the most. I shouldn’t have answered the phone in such a place.
“Bro, who are you talking to on the phone?” Page looked at me innocently. She would have fooled me if I didn’t know her.
I didn’t believe that she would come to me without any reason. She had always been like this.
What I didn’t understand was, what was there to worry about? After all, she had already gotten what she wanted.
“I’m working.” I didn’t want to reveal any details to her. If she found out that the person on the phone was Eloise, I was sure she’d make something horrible happen.
However, she did not seem to care about that. She only laughed once before looking at me with a gaze full of miracles. I sized her up seriously and saw a warning in her eyes.
She must know I was no longer as popular with my parents as before. If this continued, she might be the Alpha here.
“1 want to win that award. But, in any case, it will be mine. I hope that you can give it to me sincerely.” She sighed as if she was really sad.
I couldn’t bear to say anything more to her, so I turned around and returned to my room.
Jude was in the room, and he had a terrified expression.
He had also been bullied by Page for many years, so when he heard her voice, he even trembled subconsciously.
“But no matter what, Father and Mother will invite Soren and the others to this party. I just don’t know if he’ll attend under such circumstances.” I didn’t know how to comfort him.
“1 think it’ll be scarier if Soren agrees to come,” Jude complained in a low voice.
I could imagine that. Page would stick to him like a piece of tape.
However, I didn’t feel as sorry when I thought about his relationship with
Eloise. He brought this upon himself. He had to attend this.
Although the party was a family dinner to celebrate Page’s return, it was proof of the cooperation between several neighboring packs. Then, of course, there was also the Cotton family that we were currently working with.
Of course, Soren was here. I was worried Eloise would come with him, but she didn’t. Behind him was a very unfamiliar face. It was a very young-looking boy.
The boy looked a little shy and followed behind the others as if he didn’t exist. But from his eyes, I could see that he had a mind of his own.
He was deliberately making contact with some people.
I was curious about him, but it was only for a moment because I didn’t have to know him.
It was rare for Lisa to meet him directly.
This wasn’t very normal because I hadn’t even seen her since I came back this time. I even thought she had been seriously ill because of that trip.
But now, she seemed to be in an excellent state and didn’t seem sad at all. This also made me feel lost.
“1… I just smelled a very familiar scent from that boy, but I can’t put my finger on it.” Jude was by my side. He rubbed his nose and then turned his back completely.
“Alpha, you have to be careful. After all, there are too many people today.”
I knew that even if he didn’t tell me. I wasn’t sure what my parents were thinking, so I’d leave this place soon.
I didn’t know if it was just my imagination, but when Lisa stood next to the boy, I felt she had a rare smile.
However, this passed quickly. She went to the other side to say hello to my parents. She still looked so gentle and weak, making people feel pity for her. This scene looked perfectly normal, but somehow, I felt something was off.
But what? I really couldn’t quite put my finger on it..
