Third person's POV

Before Tabitha could even comprehend, Andrea had already left, leaving behind a graceful figure for Tabitha.

Tabitha blinked at Derek and lowered her voice as she asked, "What exactly is your mother's attitude?"

"Try the authentic cuisine. Let's go," Derek didn't answer her question and led her to the restaurant.

Andrea had already taken a seat, her gaze fixed on the intertwined fingers of Derek and Tabitha, freezing for a moment.

Kelsey came over with a bowl of soup and saw Derek pulling out a chair for Tabitha. He sat down only after Tabitha had sat down.

He placed the appetizers in front of Tabitha, who was sitting far away.

If he indulged Tabitha outside, it was highly likely that it was just a facade to please his wife. But today, there is no one else here, so who is he putting on a show for?

There was only one explanation, and that was the way they interacted, just like an ordinary couple.

    Derek's POVTabitha's behavior was somewhat peculiar as she slightly lowered her head.I noticed that her ears seemed to have turned red.After all, her recent demeanor suggested a hint of shyness or emotional unrest.She ordered a bunch of dishes, but she just picked at them and didn't really eat much.She had a small appetite and got full quickly.

    Derek's POVI glanced at her with some surprise and said, "I thought you weren't interested in us, but I didn't expect you to be well-informed."Andrea had to tilt her head up slightly to meet my gaze, and after hearing my words, she seemed to have a lot on her mind.In my memory, she was still an unfamiliar presence to me, but I never expected that so many years would pass in the blink of an eye.She lifted her hand as if to touch my face, but stopped just short of making contact.Her feelings toward me seemed to have always been complicated.I knew from the start that she had hoped my birth would make that man change his mind, but instead, she received his heartlessness, which in turn made Andrea harbor resentment toward me.She had never fulfilled the responsibilities of being a mother, to the extent that now, standing in front of her, I felt like she was a stranger.Andrea reluctantly withdrew her hand, her expression somewhat crestfallen. "I suppose Elena and you must have a low

    Derek's POVIf this statement were spoken by someone else, it might seem a bit heartless, but for a heartless mother who once threw a three-year-old child from upstairs, it was all too typical.She didn't even care about her own child, let alone other people's children.From a certain perspective, Andrea and Ambrose were the same kind of people.They were both extreme egoists. In their world, there was no existence of others except for love.Andrea elegantly brushed a strand of hair away from her ear."She's been coming around here since two years ago, sometimes to keep me company, sometimes to give me a leg massage. I didn't stop her because I saw she was bored."I said helplessly, "I think it was because you were bored."My mom was never known for being the epitome of a virtuous wife and mother. Instead, she was more like an antagonist straight out of a story.In order to make Ambrose change his mind, she did a lot of things that hurt his crush back then.In the end, she pushed Ambr

    Andrea's POVDerek's gaze became sharper. "What else do you know?"I looked at him and said earnestly, "Given your reaction, it seems I've hit the nail on the head. I didn't mean anything by it. I was just purely to see you this time. But I have to tell you something. Our family has many flaws, such as being obsessive and single-minded. Once we fall in love with someone, it's for life. It's a double-edged sword. Your father and I never taught you how to love. I don't want you to repeat our mistakes. Love is never one-sided wishful thinking. The thing I regret most in my life is what I did to your father, which caused you irreparable pain."I looked at Derek, with a whirlwind of emotions in my heart. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would one day say such words to him."I will take good care of her," Derek paused and spoke again. "Since you know Madam Rose, can you help me find out about Tabitha's background?""Oh?" I was somewhat surprised."She was not John's daughter, and th

    Tabitha's POVBefore meeting Andrea, I had imagined her in my mind as a crazy woman like a devil.After we actually met, I realized that I was wrong.Andrea was a sorrowful woman who had never experienced love throughout her life."You are too persistent." I might have forgotten the past, but I could empathize with Andrea as if I had also done similar things before.Andrea said, "The meaning is similar. The past me was not really a qualified mother. At this stage in life, I've gained some insights. You are happier than me as you have received his complete love. You are the one that deserves to wear this bracelet the most."I looked at her in surprise and asked, "So you don't oppose us being together?""Why oppose it? You two are such a good match. Nevertheless, I feel compelled to offer you a word of caution. While Derek is undoubtedly gifted, being raised in a family like ours has imprinted some significant flaws in his personality. Ordinary people may not notice it, but it's evident

    Tabitha's POVThe encounter with my mother-in-law went unexpectedly smoothly.After sending Andrea away, I kept staring at that beautiful bracelet.Witnessing the passage of time, it became more beautiful.I did not wear it on my hand. Instead, I just examined it closely. Deep down, I had a faint feeling that it should not be mine."Do you like it?" Derek's voice suddenly came from behind, startling me.I was so engrossed that I didn't even hear his footsteps."Well, it looks pretty good," I replied.Derek picked up the bracelet and gently said, "Let me put it on for you."I instinctively avoided it. "Maybe next time. Such precious items are usually worn on important occasions, and I'm not used to wearing jewelry in daily life. It just feels so inconvenient."Derek hesitated for a moment. In the end, he didn't say anything."Alright, it's your call.."Although I spent every day with Derek, I only had a good impression of him. I didn't have feelings for him at all.I even felt like I w

    Tabitha's POVA new day dawned, and I was awakened by the sound of birds outside.The warm sunlight streamed onto the soft bed, and I rubbed my eyes. Several colorful birds were perched on the terrace pillars outside.Some were chirping with their mouths open; some were preening their feathers. Their presence set off the distant blue sky and white clouds, and the whole world became very gentle.I rubbed my eyes and for a few seconds, my mind was in a daze. It was only then that I realized I had already been in another country.The climate here was mild, characterized by year-round humidity and lush vegetation, in contrast to Seattle's typically dry and chilly weather.I quite liked it here, getting up from the bed to wash up. Every time I faced this mansion, I always had a feeling that I was living like a princess in a castle. Thunder Pack was indeed wealthy.As I walked out of the room, I opened the door and was greeted by many smiling faces. "Good morning, Luna Tabitha."I was start

    Derek's POVI came to my grandfather Elliott's yard and found him holding Tabitha and saying something."Grandpa, what are you talking about?" I approached.Tabitha looked surprised and said, "So, you are Alpha Elliott."Tabitha continued to explain, "Alpha Elliott, please wake up. I am Tabitha, not Shana."Elliott stared at her for a while, his fingers tightening around her wrist."It's impossible. You are clearly Shana. You can't deceive me. What are you talking about?"Tabitha was a little helpless.Just when Tabitha didn't know what to do, I took a few steps forward and pulled Elliott's hand, "Grandpa, this is my wife. You have mistaken.""It's pure nonsense. How can Shana be your wife? And you, you little brat, why are you calling me grandpa? I don't even have a son, let alone a grandson!"I looked at Elliott, feeling sorry for him. After all, from my childhood to adulthood, despite his strictness, he always gave me enough love.Elliott was the most important person to me. It was

    Misha's eyes welled up the moment she saw Derek awake. She lunged toward him, crying, "I've been so worried!"Derek sidestepped her embrace instinctively and said coolly, "I'm fine. I've delayed you long enough. I need to stay for treatment; you should head back."Misha's jaw dropped in shock.Misha had traveled so far and gone through so much, only to hear Derek tell her to leave as soon as he woke up."I need to care for you—your eyesight's impaired. I've already taken leave," she pleaded."You'll be fine. Rolf and Alvin are here. It's not convenient for you, a young woman, to stay," Derek insisted.Misha stamped her foot in frustration. "What's inconvenient about it? You're not married, and neither am I. Remember when we were on missions together? We took care of each other then, didn't we?"Alma happened to pass by and overhear the conversation, finally realizing that Misha had been the one making advances all along.

    Derek jolted awake after an hour of sleep.In a daze, sensing someone beside him, he instinctively pulled them into his arms, exclaiming, "Tabitha, you came for me."Alvin sighed, "Alpha Derek, it's me."Derek fumbled blindly in the air, urgency lacing his voice, "Where's Tabitha? Where did she go?""You were dreaming again," Alvin explained patiently."A dream?" Derek frowned, confusion washing over him.But why did the dream feel so real? So real that he could almost feel the give of Tabitha's skin, recall the touch of her body, and even remember the warmth of her flesh. Her voice still seemed to linger in his ears."Tabitha's probably miles away. She couldn't be here," Alvin added.Derek's heart sank, the joy from moments ago replaced by emptiness. It felt as though he'd found his most precious treasure, only to realize it was just a dream.He bowed his head, a bitter smile tugging at his lips. "Right, how could I rea

    At Derek's words, Tabitha was suddenly reminded of his words from years ago, when he had said the person in his dreams was her.She couldn't help but wonder what exactly this scoundrel had done to her in his dreams."Tabitha, hold me," Derek pleaded like a petulant child.Tabitha recalled the early days of their marriage. Back then, Derek was reticent and self-absorbed in bed, rarely showing any emotion or expressing his feelings.She often doubted whether he even liked her, if not for the fact that his actions left her bedridden the next day.Derek had locked all his emotions in an airtight box, allowing no one to peek inside.But over the years, their dynamics had done a complete turnaround.Now, Tabitha buried her feelings deep within, becoming cold and distant, while Derek had transformed into someone unrecognizably vulnerable and open.At this moment, Derek was like an overly affectionate, enthusiastic dog, intimately fami

    Tabitha was deeply focused on listening to Derek's heartbeat. Irritated by his question, she simply hushed him with a "Shh" and said, "Don't talk." Her attention was entirely on his heart rate. She had no intention of being distracted by others.After finishing with his heartbeat, Tabitha gently pried open Derek's eyelids for a closer look.His pupils were dull and lifeless, making it impossible to assess the internal damage with the naked eye.It seemed that only after administering the antidote and conducting a professional examination outside could they determine the extent of the eye damage.Tabitha silently resolved that if they could just detoxify him, there would be hope for the gradual recovery of his other organs.At Tabitha's "Shh," Derek obediently fell silent.Despite feeling as though he were in a dream, he cherished this fleeting moment, thinking that even an extra minute with Tabitha would give him more memories to hold onto i

    Derek clung to Tabitha like a koala to a tree trunk, refusing to let go.His voice was urgent and filled with longing as he declared, "Tabitha, you have no idea how long I've been searching for you! Every day, every night, your image haunted my thoughts. I was such a fool. If I had known you would vanish completely, I never would have let you go."Tabitha's heart skipped a beat at his words.Recalling her departure, she realized how strange it had been—how smoothly she had left.Back then, Tabitha had barely left when someone came chasing after her. Had Derek known of her plan from the start?If he had wanted to stop her, he could have nipped her plan in the bud."Why did you let me go, then?" she asked.Derek, lost in the joy of their reunion, poured out his feelings unreservedly. "I've always felt guilty for the wrongs I did you. I wanted to make amends."Tabitha gazed into Derek's eyes, noticing the red marks on his face.Despite his usual handsomeness, these marks added an air of

    Third person's POVThis was why Tabitha had chosen Alvin over Rolf.She adjusted her waterlogged mask, now nearly peeling off, and swiftly exited the scene.Rolf muttered behind her, "Alpha Derek, don't go around hugging people. What if she gets clingy? Tabitha's still out there—what if she sees this and makes you wait another decade?"Derek remained silent."But seriously," Rolf continued, "the doctor's build and height are identical to Tabitha's. Just the face is different."Derek seized on this. "What did you say?""I said she looks like Tabitha, except for the face. Alpha Derek, don't get carried away—it's not like Tabitha to pop up just because you're poisoned. You've looked for her for three and a half years with no luck."Derek rubbed his temples, chalking it up to longing-induced hallucinations.Tabitha retreated to her room, exhausted from the sleepless night of brewing and changing medicines.

    Third person's POVDerek loosened his grip slightly, allowing her to breathe. "Sorry, I can't see. No idea what's going on," he muttered."You're in a tub. No dialysis here—just using heat to sweat out the wolfsbane. I was checking your condition," Tabitha explained, her tone flat.Derek realized his mistake. "Apologies.""Now that you're more lucid, let's do a quick check-up. How do you feel?""Body's burning. Blind as a bat. Hearing's there but muffled, ringing in the ears. Headache, chest tightness, shortness of breath, weak limbs...""Your entire body's under toxin attack. Recovery will take time. Don't stress. You're in good shape—should bounce back faster. Can you stand? Let me see your condition."The tub's dark liquid hid Derek's nudity, so Tabitha didn't push him to move.Derek suddenly realized something. "Wait, I'm naked?""Yep."Silence.His face twisted in discomfort."I'm a

    Third person's POV"Are you serious?" Tabitha frowned. "This is life or death. Do you want him to die?""You don't get it," Alvin said quickly. "That woman isn't really Alpha Derek's fiancée. She made it up to convince Mrs. Atkinson to help. Derek's got someone else—someone he loves. If he finds out she fed him the medicine, he'll lose it.""So what? It's just medicine. I can't exactly summon his 'someone else' here," Tabitha muttered."Everything else is negotiable, but Alpha Derek's stubborn about this. He's loved Tabitha his whole life. He won't let another woman touch him intimately. I can't make that call for him. Any other ideas?"Tabitha froze. Tabitha? She hadn't heard that name in years."Since he loves Tabitha so much, where is she? Why isn't she here?""Tabitha left over three years ago. Derek's searched everywhere but couldn't find her. This time, he got distracted because someone hired a Tabitha look-alike. T

    Third person's POVAlvin froze, panic rising. "Sorry, Alpha Derek's delirious," he blurted, terrified of offending Doctor Venessa."Get his clothes off and put him in the tub," Tabitha instructed, turning away to sort herbs."Fully?" Alvin asked, unsure."Fully," Tabitha confirmed, her voice flat.Alvin hesitated, then stripped Derek bare.Tabitha's mind flashed with memories of Derek's body—the same one she'd once known intimately.Compared to when she'd left, Derek's physique was more muscular.When she'd gripped his waist earlier, she'd distinctly felt the elasticity and definition of his muscles.Now, with his clothes removed, several new scars were visible across his chest.She'd watched him from afar over the years, always avoiding contact, always ensuring she remained invisible to him.Several times over the years, Derek had nearly crossed paths with Tabitha during missions.
