Chapter 176



“Oh, my baby, my child, my hope.” My mother held me tightly in her arms. “Your words almost broke my heart. Why do you think so?”

“You’re too harsh on yourself, Selma.” My father sighed softly and said, “I’m even starting to regret the harsh King’s education I gave you. It’s good to uphold justice and to oppose privileges, but love is different. It doesn’t pay attention to this bone-deep red tape.”

“It’s normal for parents to favor their children, lovers to favor their other half, and best friends to favor their best friend. Or rather, these feelings can’t be summed up with the word ‘preference’ in the first place. They don’t matter whether it’s fair or unfair, objective or not, because feelings are very subjective.

“Are we going to make a law to limit the emotional boundaries between people? Just like your mother and I, she is my subject, and I treat her the same as any other subject; But she’s also my only soulmate in this life. I’ll side with her without hesitation in any decision because I love her, and love always has the privilege of not being accused.”

I looked at my father in confusion, finding it difficult to understand.

He gently hugged my mother and me, his broad chest firm and warm.

“You can’t sleep or eat in peace because of this. Could it be because you didn’t put yourself in the role of being loved?” he asked.

“I know he loves me, and I love him too...” I mumbled.

It was always a little embarrassing to reveal one’s love in front of one’s parents. Anyway, I had already said so much, so it didn’t matter if I said a few more words.

“Isn’t that it?” My father ruffled my hair and said affectionately, “Since you are loved, you must have the confidence to be loved. Believe in the ‘privilege’ that love gives you. You don’t have to be ashamed of this because being loved is a lucky and happy thing.

I looked at my father with some uncertainty. “Is that the case?”

“Of course, it’s true. I believe in you, and I believe in him, child.”

“Just like you and us,” my mother said with a chuckle. “Because parents love their child, and the child loves the parents, you can always act spoiled with us without any holdback.”

I snorted shyly, and my mother pinched my face.

“If that’s the case, why can’t you ‘act spoiled’ with Aldrich?”

“Are you and father always ‘acting spoiled’ with each other?” I asked on purpose.

My mother let out a short scream, tickling me. “You bad girl!”

We laughed and fooled around while my father looked at me gently. At this moment, I was thrilled.

I also understood what my parents meant.

Love was such a wonderful thing that no rules could restrain it. Why should I trap myself in those meaningless worries if that was the case?

Tomorrow. Tomorrow I would end this annoying silent war.

I made up my mind.

The following day, I spent time with Tracy and the other werewolf grandmasters. There was still no progress, and Aldrich still didn’t appear.

In the afternoon, when I excitedly ran to the training ground, I heard a piece of big news that surprised and depressed me.

Kara, who prepared towels and other tools for us in advance, told me, “Sir Aldrich has official business to attend to and cannot come to train you today. He just asked a soldier to send a message and his apology: I’m sorry to have made you come here in vain.”

The courage I’d worked so hard to build deflated like a balloon.

What was this? Did he think I didn’t know the working mechanism of the military? In this peaceful era without war, there were very few accidents in the military apart from daily training. Even if Aldrich had an urgent business, he would still have to report to my father.

‘You’re just avoiding me by skipping training without saying a word.’

Before today, I was hiding from him, but now it was him hiding from me. Moon Goddess, this comedy was not funny!

I should have been angry, but at this moment, I unexpectedly resonated with Aldrich’s mood. Perhaps I was not the only one retreating, but Aldrich was doing the same too. It wasn’t that he didn’t send out a signal to ask for peace, but I was hiding like an ostrich and got nothing.

Perhaps my actions made him lose hope.

This reignited my confidence!

‘Come on, Selma. Since you’ve always prided yourself on being responsible, you’ll have to clean up the mess you’ve created!

After asking about Aldrich’s whereabouts, I rushed to Duke Frank’s mansion as if my feet were on fire.

Duke Frank was not surprised by my sudden visit at all. I suspected that he, like my parents, had long seen through the cause and effect of our little couple’s quarrel.

Aldrich was in his room. I didn’t even have to say anything, and he automatically reported Aldrich’s schedule to me, “He didn’t go anywhere today. Perhaps you know whom he’s waiting for, Miss Selma.”

I thanked him briefly and rushed to Aldrich’s room.
