Caleb seemed to have guessed something.
His expression darkened and he held my hand firmly.
âDebra, can you leave the sale of Roz Town alone?â
I was stunned and didnât know what to say.
Caleb looked me affectionately and continued, âWeâve missed five years together, Debra.
Now that weâve finally found each other again, we should enjoy ourselves, donât you think? Donât turn your back on the people who Love you for people you barely know.
â
I suddenly felt cold all over, as though someone had poured a basin of ice-cold water on me.
For his own selfish interests, he always asked me to give up what was important to me.
He never thought about how I felt, nor did he intend to respect me.
I withdrew my hand and asked, âThen why donât you stop?â
âDebra, under Adamâs management, Roz Town has declined.
Only by moving the residents out can the town have a better future.
This deal is a win-win!â
I begged to differ.

I stared into his eyes and said seriously, âCaleb, Roz Town belongs to
Gale and the Xeric Pack.
If it hasnât developed well, then Gale can always hire a new manager to fix things instead of selling it to another pack, rendering the residents of the town homeless.
â
However, Caleb just waved his hand dismissively.
âGale isnât a qualified Alpha at all.
Itâs because she abandoned Roz Town that Adam dared to act recklessly.
How could she possibly have a new manager take over? Donât be so naive, Debra!â
I gritted my teeth and had to secretly tell myself that Gale didnât abandon it.
Even if she was poisoned, she still tasked me with the mission to maintain the peace of the town.
She cared about this town and its people.
But I couldnât tell Caleb that.
Just then, Elena emerged from her room with her schoolbag.
Noticing the serious looks on our faces, she asked curiously, âWhat happened? Did you guys fight?â
Caleb and I replied in unison, âNo! We were just talking about grown-up stuff.
â
âOh, I see.
â
Elena tilted her head and didnât doubt us.
At her age, she wouldnât question the words of an adult.
Caleb and I exchanged tacit glances and stopped arguing.
Then we sent
Elena to the kindergarten together.
âElena, youâre finally back!â
