Daddy’s Best Friend: My Alpha Mate의 모든 챕터: 챕터 141 - 챕터 150

Corinne POVThe phone kept ringing urgently. The screen showed my mother’s name, but I didn’t dare answer. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to understand where I was, then memories of last night flooded back, and I realized I was in Glacier’s room.I slowly got out of bed, my bare feet touching the cold floor, and walked to the bathroom. When I saw my reflection in the mirror, I gasped softly. My eyes were slightly swollen from crying, and my messy hair showed how restless my sleep had been. I leaned over the sink, turned on the cold water, and washed my face hard, as if I could erase every trace of the stupidity that led me here.I walked out wiping my face with a cotton towel, mutteringDamn it… I am like a magnet for trouble.My eyes wandered around the place with curious attention. The room was elegant, but it had a strange feeling. At the edge of the bed, I noticed a long string with small shiny shells hanging from it. I stepped closer slowly and touched the smooth surface.

Corinne POVI opened the door and walked out, ignoring Glacier’s orders. I barely took a few seconds before he followed me, his hand gripping my wrist so hard I stopped instantly. His face was close enough that I could feel his heavy breathing."I said… you are not going alone."Without giving me a choice, he led me to his car, opened the door, and pushed me inside. Then he walked around and got into the driver’s seat, starting the engine.The car stopped in front of the house gate. The garden lights reflected on my face, and I was boiling with anger. I opened the door quickly and got out without looking back at him, walking fast like the ground itself couldn’t handle my rage. If I had a gun, I would have shot Glacier right then without hesitation.At the gate, my father was waiting, his calm smile contrasting the tension in the air. He opened his arms warmly toward Glacier."Welcome, Glacier."But his eyes followed me as I passed by, my face dark, eyebrows tightly furrowed, lips pres

Corinne POVGlacier’s car stopped in front of the house. He turned off the engine slowly, his eyes never leaving my face, where a small innocent smile lingered. He leaned toward me before I could open the door, kissed my lips slowly, as if marking me as his possession, then whispered in a rough voice“I’ll see you tomorrow, my little one.”I laughed softly and replied“Don’t forget tomorrow is my birthday… will you come?”He raised an eyebrow with a mysterious smile“My beauty… how could I ever miss it?”I opened the door and got out lightly, giving him a small victorious look before closing it, leaving him watching me as I walked toward the house.Inside, my mother was waiting for me in the palace hall. She wasn’t asleep this time. She stood at the entrance, her face filled with worry mixed with anger.The moment I stepped in, she came toward me quickly, her voice sharp“Where were you?”I sighed, trying to hide my shaking nerves, then answered coldly“I was with Glacier… there’s no

Corinne POVI was sitting by my wide window, watching the moon reflect against the glass as the white curtains swayed softly in the night breeze. Everything around me looked calm, but inside, I hadn’t known peace for a long time. I placed my hand over my chest, listening to my racing heartbeat, and every single beat carried only one name. Glacier. I couldn’t understand what I was feeling anymore. Was it real love, or just a painful attachment?Did he see me the way I saw him, or was I just a passing moment in his life? The thought of being temporary in his world was enough to slowly suffocate me. I closed my eyes, but his image didn’t fade. The way he held me, his whispers, his mysterious gaze. They all chased me without mercy.I whispered with a trembling voice, "If he leaves me… I won’t survive it." My tears gathered despite my effort to stay strong.Suddenly, the silence shattered with a loud noise coming from my mother’s wing. My whole body jolted, and I lifted my head quickly, li

Glacier POVI sat on the edge of the bed, watching her pale face under the dim light. I slowly reached out and touched her cheek with trembling fingers. Her skin was warm… reminding me she was still here, still alive. Her soft breathing filled the room like a kind of peace, but the slight tremble of her lips made my heart restless.I whispered her name in a rough voice, like it was too heavy to speak. “Corinne…”She didn’t answer, but her chest rose and fell steadily, her heartbeat still strong. I closed my eyes for a second, like I was praying, then leaned closer and said in a tired whisper, “I can’t keep you… I’m really at your father’s age.”I placed my hand gently on her head.The night felt heavier. The sea outside was still. I stood by the balcony, gripping the metal railing hard until my veins trembled. Vanessa’s voice kept echoing in my head, sharp and cutting.“Corinne is just starting her life… and you? Have you seen your face in the mirror? You’re old, Glacier.”I pressed m
