Caleb didnât answer me directly, but instead asked, âWhy do you ask that?â
âI want to know how long it will take for the residents to relocate there.
â
Caleb fell silent.
It was obvious that I wanted to leave.
He pressed his Lips into a thin line and Lowered his eyes, looking highly disappointed.
I didnât know what to say.
I was having a hard time in the Thorn Edge Pack and wasnât able to let down my guard for one moment.
I couldnât consider this place as home.
The Thorn Edge Pack felt more like a training ground where I was only faced with successive challenges.
I was forced to constantly think about my survival and the protection of my daughter.
I had completely lost the joy of living in Roz Town.
âWho is there?â A sudden voice startled us.
It was the voice of a patrol guard.
Calebâs face darkened and he immediately hid me with him behind the big tree to protect me.
âItâs strange.
Why is someone making noise at midnight?â
âm sure one of the maids must be having an affair with a man.
â
âd like to see which maid has the guts.
Maybe it will be my turn next time.
â
The two guards exchanged lewd banter as they approached us.
The flashlight was about to illuminate us.
âWhy arenât you guarding the gate? What are you doing there?â
A familiar voice at the gate caught the guardsâ attention.

âItâs Carlos!â
Both the security guards instantly became alert and hastened towards the gate.
They obviously had a great deal of respect for Carlos.
âSir, whatâs the matter?â
âSomething important, of course,â Carlos replied with a smile.
He acted as if he was going to break in.
âI want to enter the villa.
Please let me in!â
The guards hurriedly stopped Carlos.
