Chapter 39
I was shocked when I heard Blake's words.
My body subconsciously took two steps back however, the plate in my hand made a sound.
Unfortunately, Arthur felt my movements and immediately asked in vigilance, “Who’s there?”
For a moment, I did not know what to do, but since it was harder for me to hide with the things in my
hand, I tried to adjust my emotions, pretending that I had just arrived here.
“It's me!” I announced completely changing my tone as one who had just arrived in the office excitedly. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Forming an innocent smile on my face, I pushed the door and entered the study.
As I saw the two people in the study staring at me intently, I pretended to be relaxed while asking them.
“Why are you staring at me? Did I disturb you with your talk just now?” After asking the question, I put
on a troubled expression to indicate that I kind of feel bad that I interrupted their talk.
Fortunately after hearing my words, Arthur and Blake looked relieved. They seemed to have confirmed
that I did not hear anything in their conversation. This also made me feel relaxed.
Noticing the food tray on my hand, Arthur recovered from his serious expression and asked, “Chloe
what delicious food did you bring us today???”
Then as he asked this, he stretched out his hand and tried to reach one of the eggs benedict on my
tray to snatch it.
I immediately avoided it and hurried to Blake. “This is for Blake not yours…”
“Tsk! Two of you just always bully me!” Arthur sounded jealous and he looked at me and Blake with
grievance in his eyes.
“Huff… I won’t disturb you two… I’ll go and ask the kitchen for a nice meal as well! Humph! I won’t
disturb you two then and enjoy your EGGS Benedict!” Arthur announced like a kid then left the study.
Suddenly left just like that, I brought food to Blake with a smile and said,
“Carrie told me that this is your favorite food. I tried making it and I hope it doesn’t taste that bad.
Blake looked at the food on the plate. He smiled and nodded, indicating that he understood.
But the next moment, his gentle expression looked at me teasingly as he commented, “Hmm… it
seems that it needs some improvement?”
He looked at me, only to see me raise my brow in intrigue.
“Haha…” Blake let out a light feathery chuckle before he took a bit of the food.
I watched his expression and saw the flash of brightness in his eyes, “The taste is good… I can eat this
all day…”
I watched him eating for a little bit, before I sat in front of his desk and took the opportunity to talk about
my wolf again.
Threading very carefully I asked, “Blake, are you upset because of last night? Because I did not tell you
about my wolf the first time?
Surprised by my answer, Blake stopped smiling and shook his head.
My heart skipped a beat, it seems like Blake did not want to tell about their conversation earlier.
Even so, I still probed and asked, “Do you have something to tell me then? I could not help but notice
you acting strangely since our talk last night.
Blake watched me in silence for a while, wanting to see what was on my mind. But after that he shook
his head and said, “You’re thinking too much…”
Then he turned his attention to the food that Chloe brought, boasting that my cooking skills are very
good.
I could only watch Blake eating happily. There was a sense of happiness in me as I watched him eating
the food I made heartily, but my mind is still wondering whether what Blake told Arthur about my wolf
being poisoned was true.
That matter filled my mind until the night time, as I lay in bed, tossing and turning, thinking about what
Blake said today.
‘If my wolf was really poisoned, it would explain why Aurora was listless every time.’
‘If so, someone deliberately didn't want my wolf to wake up,’
My face darkened as I wondered, who might have poisoned Aurora?
Vanessa?
Lisa?
Or... could it be… father?
The moment this thought came to my mind, there was a strong sense of unwillingness in me to believe.
They are still my family members, so how could they cruelly poison my wolf? Especially my father…
The more I thought about it, the more I felt a piercing headache. No matter how I think about it, it could
have not been possible for them to do that.
In the end I choose to deny Blake's statement. Maybe my wolf wasn't poisoned, it was really just weak.
After all, she had been like that for the longest time.
Concluding that to myself, I tried to wake Aurora once again.
“Aurora… are you there?” I called out longingly, wanting to hear her voice to give my anxious heart a
sense of assurance.
“Aurora if you are awake… Please respond to me…” I called out once again.
But she did not reply until I called her for the fourth time.
“Chloe…” Hearing Aurora’s voice, my heart pumped in excitement and joy.
“Aurora! It’s been a long time since I talked with you!”
“Hmm!” Aurora replied, there was even a hint of joy in her voice too.
My heart warmed, seeing that Aurora was reciprocating my affections toward her, it seemed like my
wolf really did want to be with me and it was just that she was just too weak to stay.
Then we chatted about my recent experience and state of mind. I told her about my experience in
going back to the Red Moon pack and how I considered the Silver Pack as my new home.
I even told her about my newfound friends.
“It seems like you have found your own happiness Chloe… I sincerely congratulate you,” Aurora
replied.
“Hmm.. it’s good to be happy, Aurora… All these years, I have been longing for this kind of thing to
happen to me.” I smiled warmly.
I have a new home… I am freed from my adversaries… I have forgiven my father and also found a new
family.
The only thing I was missing was Aurora staying by my side.
With that, I finally asked her, “Aurora… Can I ask you a question?”
“Hmm? What is it?” Aurora’s voice lightly drifted on my mind.
“Aurora… can you tell me… the reason why you are weak and unable to wake up fully…” This time I
hesitated for a moment.
A part of me was unwilling to know the truth. Because if the truth was not what I wanted to hear… then
what now?
However, if it is for Aurora, I have to face it. I have to know the reason why my wolf has been like this.
“Were you perhaps poisoned… Aurora?” I finally asked, with my heart almost stopping as I waited for
her answer.
But after some time, Aurora did not say anything. The next moment, everything became silent, only
hearing the sound of my heavy heartbeat and the fear of hearing the worst.
Eventually, I did not hear any of Aurora’s replies and thought that she went to sleep once more.
‘Sigh… it seems like talking to me has taken her a lot of energy once again…’ I dejectedly sighed in my
heart.
But just as I was about to rest my case, I finally heard Aurora’s answer and it was the kind of answer
that I did not want to hear at the moment.
Aurora’s hesitant voice sounded, “Sorry Chloe, I didn't tell you before, I was indeed poisoned.”
