Chapter 60
Ferris laughed coldly, his tone wrapped in fury and sarcasm: “Did you use couple’s tickets?”
My heart sank heavily.
He was the one who came here with Ashley, yet he was questioning me first.
“So what if we did?”
I deliberately didn’t deny it: “It has nothing to do with you anyway.”
The smile on Ferris’s face completely cooled. He pressed his thin lips together tightly, his gaze locked deadly on me, as if trying to see through all the fluctuations in my heart.
“Where have you been these past few days?” His voice was hoarse with a hint of irritation, “Why haven’t you come back?”
I couldn’t be bothered with him and lifted my foot to walk around him toward the building, back to my room.
I knew he had been having people follow me.
As long as I was in the Black Mountain pack, it would be very difficult to escape his surveillance.
But just as I took a step, he suddenly blocked my path.
I looked up, my expression indifferent: “Work, duh. What about you? You always said that alphas don’t have private time, why are you here?”
Ferris froze.
Yes, wasn’t that exactly what he always said when he refused my requests before?
I looked at him with some confusion–what exactly was he trying to express?
Why did he now seem like a neglected child?
My gaze was too frank, which instead made him panic. He had wanted to get angry, but in that instant, all his fight left him.
He suddenly reached out and gripped my arm.
I frowned and was about to break free when I heard him grit his teeth and warn in a low voice: “Don’t move around, there are so many people here… if you try
to leave again, I don’t mind carrying you back right now.”
I was stunned, and before I could react, he had already lifted me up horizontally.
“Ferris, are you nuts?” I lowered my voice, shocked and angry, struggling desperately.
But he didn’t give me any chance to refuse. His steps were steady and determined as he carried me toward the elevator.
My strength was completely insufficient to break free from this alpha’s embrace. He brought me back to where he was staying–this hot spring hotel also had a villa area.
Once we reached the room, before I could speak, he had already handed me an exquisitely packaged gift box.
“From a business partner.” His tone was light, but it hid a probing quality.
I looked at the gift box and was stunned for a moment, feeling a bitter pang in my chest, but I didn’t reach out to take it.
The air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
Every time Ferris had done something wrong before, he would casually give me something that others had given him.
Chapter 50
One time, I was conspiratorially pushed into a swimming pool by several of Ferris’s friends who looked down on me, nearly drowning. My eardrums swelled and I almost lost my hearing.
In the end, he casually gave me a necklace and said: “Don’t go to those places in the future, and nothing will happen.”
At that time, it was the first gift I had ever received from Ferris, and I was happy for a very long time…
Later, whenever I was hurt, no matter what it was, he would always brush me off with gifts.
And his friends said in front of me; “Women like Aurora can be happy for a long time with just a few worthless gifts.”
“she’s obsessed with money and very easy to appease.”
At that time, after hearing this, I cried and returned all the gifts Ferris had ever given me, right in front of him.
That day, Ferris was very angry, gripping my hand: “What are you making a fuss about! If you don’t want them, there won’t be any more in the future!”
From then on, Ferris really stopped even going through the motions.
No matter if I was injured or humiliated, he never had a word of comfort, nor would he give gifts anymore.
Recent interactions with Ferris brought memories flooding back like water, and I couldn’t forget them even if I wanted to.
1 withdrew from my thoughts: “I don’t want it.”
