My heart sank heavilyb. /b

bHe /bwas the one bwho /bcame here with Ashleyb, /bbyet /bhe was questioning me first.

b“/bbSo /bwhat bif /bbwe /bdidb?/b”

I deliberately didn’t deny it: b“/bbIt /bhas nothing to do with you anyway.”

The smile on Ferris’s bface /b/divpletely cooled. He pressed his thin lips together tightlyb, /bhis gaze locked deadly on me, as if trying to see through all the fluctuations in my heart.

b“/bWhere have you been these past bfew /bbdays/bb?/bb” /bHis bvoice /bwas hoarse with a hint of irritation, “Why haven’t youe backb?/bb” /b

I couldn’t be bothered with him and lifted my foot to walk around him toward the building, back to my room.

bI /bknew he had been having people follow me.

bAs /blong as I was in the ck Mountain pack, it would be very difficult to escape his surveince.

But bjust /bas I took a step, he suddenly blocked my path.

I looked up, my expression indifferent: “Work, duh. What about you? You always said that alphas don’t have private time, why are you here?”

Ferris froze.

Yes, wasn’t that exactly what he always said when he refused my requests before?

I looked at him with some confusion–what exactly was he trying to expressb? /b

Why did he now seem like a neglected child?

My gaze was too frank, which instead made him panic. He had wanted to get angry, but in that instant, all his fight left him.

He suddenly reached out and gripped my arm.

I frowned and was about to break free when I heard him grit his teeth and warn in a low voice: “Don’t move around, there are so many people here… if you try

bto /bleave again, I don’t mind carrying you back right now.”

I was stunned, and before I could react, he had already lifted me up horizontally.

“Ferris, are you nuts?” I lowered my voice, shocked and angry, struggling desperately.

But he didn’t give me any chance to refuse. His steps were steady and determined as he carried me toward the elevator.

My strength waspletely insufficient to break free from this alpha’s embrace. He brought me back to where he was staying–this hot spring hotel also had a vi area.

bOnce /bbwe /breached the room, before I could speak, he had already handed me an exquisitely packaged gift box.

b“/bFrom a business partner.” bHis /btone was light, but it hid a probing quality.

I looked at the gift box and was stunned for a moment, feeling a bitter pang in my chest, but I didn’t reach out to take it.

The air seemed bto /bbfreeze /bfor a bfew /bseconds.

Every time Ferris had done something wrong before, he would casually give me something that others had given him.

One time, I was conspiratorially pushed into a swimming pool by several of Ferris’s friends who looked down on me, nearly drowning. My eardrums swelled and I almost lost my hearing.

In the end, he casually gave me a ne and said: “Don’t go to those ces in the future, and nothing will happen.”

At that time, it was the first gift I had ever received from Ferris, and I was happy for a very long time…

Later, whenever I was hurt, no matter what it was, he would always brush me off with gifts.

And his friends said in front of me; “Women like Aurora can be happy for a long time with just a few worthless gifts.”

“she’s obsessed with money and very easy to appease.”

At that time, after hearing this, I cried and returned all the gifts Ferris had ever given me, right in front of him.

That day, Ferris was very angry, gripping my hand: “What are you making a fuss about! If you don’t want them, there won’t be any more in the future!”

From then on, Ferris really stopped even going through the motions.

No matter if I was injured or humiliated, he never had a word offort, nor would he give gifts anymore.

Recent interactions with Ferris brought memories flooding back like water, and I couldn’t forget them even if I wanted to.

1 withdrew from my thoughts: “I don’t want it.”
