“Well, yesterday we did have a big fight, even filled with misunderstandings, but today is past midnight and it was our wedding day three years ago.”
I mumbled, “Oh, sorry. It slipped my mind.”
Dominic was stunned for a moment before replying, “But you used to care about this the most before? How could you forget?”
He was right.
In the past, whether it was our wedding anniversary or his birthday, I never forgot.
Even though we didn’t celebrate it, I would be the first one who expressed it and gave a small gift, not a big celebration as before.
However, I totally forgot that time.
Suddenly, he came closer to hug me and said, “These days problems must make you upset, right? I’m sorry. I promise you will come first. I will keep my distance from Courtney, okay?
“So, how about we try the cake and open the present? I promise you will like it.”
I just nodded.
Even though my heart was still not sure if he would put me first before Courtney's needs, I was tired of arguing about the same thing, so I just followed his wish that time.
However, when I was about to open the present, his phone rang.
It was Courtney’s call.
Dominic tried to ignore it and asked me to continue.
But the call didn’t stop, she even sent him a message repeatedly.
“That’s fine, Dominic. You better answer it first, I think it's an important call,” I said in a low tone.
“Alright,” he answered. But when he was about to take his phone, Dominic said and kissed my forehead, “Thank you.”
After a moment, Dominic said again in panic, "Fever? Do you have any medicine?
"I can't take you to the hospital today, you know that I have something to do.”
He was lowering her tone when saying that, but it was useless for my werewolf’s hearing. My wolf in my mind was also said, “He better not leave again this time, or we will be the ones out of his life forever”
I was shocked to hear my wolf threat.
It was not that she was never angry with Dominic or his wolf, but my wolf really loved his mate and felt that they would be together forever.
So, her attitude at that time made me very confused.
When I was wondering, Dominic’s voice came again to my ear. He said, “What? That high? Okay, wait for me. I'll be right over."
Dominic ended the call and turned to me, his eyes reflecting a blend of awkwardness and an unreadable emotion.
He told me with a feeling of guilt, "Lucinda, it is about Courtney’s son. He has a fever. I need to...."
