《Bound To The Wolfe》全部章節：第 51 章 - 第 60 章

DREA “I’m going to marry you when I grow up.” I declared with a huge smile on my face.The boy laughed, writing something in a book.“Focus on the task at hand Drew. Don’t think about marriage.” He replied.“Why? I thought marriage happens when two people love each other.” I explained.He paused for a second before he continued writing.“That’s not always the case.” He mumbled.“But—” His laugh cut me off.“Just focus on what I’m teaching you, Drew! Maybe this is why you’re failing maths” He joked and I scoffed.“Don’t be mean.” I glared at him.His warm eyes stared at me for a second with a huge smile on his face.Those eyes.That smile.I jolted awake, my heart pounding against my chest.I wanted to pull my hair out in frustration. Another memory flash?I was so sick and tired of those.Wait.I looked around and saw that I was in my bedroom.How did I make it here?I clearly remember falling asleep in the living room.August.Where was August?I reached for my phone on the nightsta

DREA“Keep your voice down!” I hissed“You knew each other??!” He whisper-yelled, and I nodded.“You didn’t know?” I asked, my brows furrowed.“How would I know? At this age.” He showed the photo to me and pointed at my little self.“I was already at college when you were at this age.”It’s true.I forgot.I look 12 in that picture.Philip was already at college when this happened.“I have no memory of this,” I told him, collecting the photo.His brows furrowed.“What do you mean?” He asked.“I can’t remember ever knowing him before we met for this marriage.”“And he didn’t tell you?” I looked at Philip.“There’s no way both of you don’t remember meeting in the past.” He clarified.He was right.August knew.He knew about us knowing each other as kids but didn’t say anything.Why?“He can’t be trusted.” I heard Philip say, as if answering the question in my thoughts.“What?”“He keeps a lot of secrets from you Drea. Why can’t he just be honest?” I kept quiet, looking elsewhere.I hate

AUGUST“If you ever do anything to hurt her then I swear to God—”Father rolled his eyes before looking at me.“Not me.” He said.“Some secrets exist for a reason, August. The less you know, the safer you are.” I scoffed, glaring at him.“Oh so now you want to what? Protect me?” I chuckled darkly. “Now you want to be a father?”“August—”“No! You just can’t come in here and act like we have a normal relationship! After all these years? Why now?”! I shouted.•Flashback•I jumped on my feet, excited to show Dad my report card.I slowly pushed his office door open without knocking to see him on the phone, standing next to the window.He glanced at me for a second and gestured for me to leave.I continued to make my way to him, ignoring his signal.I wanted to show him.And I wanted to show him now.“Dad! I got an A in maths.” My little legs ran towards my father, holding on to his trousers.Dad continued to speak on the phone, not even paying attention to me.He was always working.I won

DREAMy legs walked towards the bookshelf in the corner, tracing my fingers along the books.I laughed to myself.This bookshelf was just here for the aesthetics.I doubt if he’s ever touched it.My hand traced the wood of the shelf, my face forming a frown.Why was this—I slightly pushed the shelf with a hand, and I felt it wobble.He should really get this fixed before it falls on someone.I pushed it again but this time, it didn’t just wobble.My breathing stopped.It moved.The sound of an electronic motor sounded in the room as I watched what looked like a bookshelf on the outside move without being touched.My feet remained glued to the floor as my heart pounded.What is this?I stared at the empty space the bookshelf had left which was dark.This was like a scene out of a horror movie.Should I walk in?I was curious.But that’s how everyone dies in a horror movie.Well, this isn’t a horror movie.Or was it?Was my curiosity stronger than my fear?I slowly lifted my leg off th

DREAHe looked unsure for a second before slowly nodding.“Why don’t you like your dad?” He stiffened at my question.He breathed out heavily, none of us saying anything for a while.“He was…emotionally unavailable for any of us.” He mumbled, looking at nothing in particular.“He was forced into marrying my mum and Elena got sent abroad for most of her childhood so it was mostly me and my parents.” He continued.I kept quiet, listening intently.“Imagine finding out you weren’t wanted at 5.” He laughed dryly and my heart broke.“He worked on the principle that men were never allowed to have emotions, should never show any weakness, and should never reveal anything.”I was right.It was his upbringing.He was so secretive because of what he was told as a child.He was closed off because of that.He lacked emotions because of his father.And my heart broke for him.“I wasn’t allowed to laugh, I wasn’t allowed to cry, I wasn’t allowed to be excited, I was just existing.”“Eventually, you
