I cast a sidelong glance at him and saw that he didnât seem bothered by
Marleyâs so-called injury, so I breathed a sigh of relief.
After thinking for a while, I tried to ask Caleb for help in a roundabout way.
âPoor Riley.
Sheâs getting all the flak for something she didnât do.
Can you just hand Colin over to Marley already?
Otherwise, Iâm afraid that Marley will take advantage of this issue to make things even more difficult for Riley.
â
But he rejected my idea without hesitation.
âNo, we canât just give away our trump card so easily.
Itâs not worth it
For some reason, I felt angry.
âWhy are you so intent on protecting Marley and Collin?â I demanded.
âYou know I hate them, yet you wonât help me deal with them even though you can.
Is this what you think love is?â
âDebra, why do you hate them so much anyway?â Caleb didnât get angry even though I was so hostile.
Instead, he looked at me with a hint of suspicion and curiosity.

âWhat happened between you and them? Debra, maybe I can help you reconcileââ
âNo, Iâll never forgive them.
â
I refused him coldly before he could even finish his sentence.
He would never understand the hatred I had for Marley and Colin.
Otherwise, he never wouldâve asked such a stupid question.
Thinking about how I nearly talked to my father earlier, I felt sad.
He probably forgot that he had a daughter.
My mood suddenly became Low and I Lost my appetite.
After dinner, I headed to the kitchen sink to wash the dishes.
But before I could even turn on the faucet, a pair of powerful hands grabbed me from behind.
âDebra, the wound on your arm hasnât healed yet.
You canât wet it, or else it might get infected.
Let me wash the dishes,â Caleb offered softly.
I pursed my Lips and said nothing.
The next second, he hugged me from behind and said sincerely, âDonât be sad, Debra.
Itâs okay if you donât want to go back to the Silver Ridge
Pack.
Iâll give you a new home-a better one.
Forget about your past with the Silver Ridge Pack.
â
His soft, sincere voice touched me.
But even if he moved me as far away from the Silver Ridge Pack as possible, I would never stop hating Marley and Colin for what they had done.
