When Eisner arrived at the hospital, the little werewolf cub had already woken up. The four - year - old child couldn't speak clearly yet and just kept crying in pain. Isabella also started to cry. "Eisner, I'm sorry. I've delayed you and Miss Lucy again. I don't know what's wrong with this child. He wasn't so clingy to his father before. Now it seems like he can't be separated from you for a single moment. Maybe he's just fated to be close to you."
Eisner felt an indescribable sense of unease. Before going upstairs from the hospital parking lot, he had just received a call from his assistant. A hidden camera in the Atlant family had captured Isabella deliberately pushing the crying little werewolf cub down the stairs.
Eisner didn't understand why Isabella had done this, but a chill ran down his spine. Had he always underestimated her?
Isabella leaned over and tried to hold his hand, but he dodged. Suppressing the faint disgust in his heart, he said, "The little werewolf cub is the bloodline left by my elder brother. It must be hard for you to take care of him alone."
"From today on, I'll arrange a nanny to take care of his daily life. You can also have an easier time."
Isabella wanted to refuse at first, but when she met Eisner's deep - set eyes, she felt a bit guilty and could only agree for the time being.
After the person assigned to protect the little werewolf cub arrived, Eisner was about to leave. Seeing this, Isabella immediately grabbed his sleeve tightly.
"Eisner, where are you going? Won't you stay and accompany me and the little werewolf cub?"
Eisner gently pulled his sleeve free. "Isabella, I can only give you three months. You have to gradually let the little werewolf cub accept the reality of living without his father."
Isabella's eyes turned red, and tears rolled down her cheeks. "I thought you still felt the same way about me as before."
Eisner's face darkened. "Isabella, since you chose to marry my elder brother, there's no possibility between us. The person I love is Lucy. She's angry with me now, and I have to go and coax her. So, please don't say such things in the future."
Watching Eisner turn around resolutely, Isabella's face was clouded with gloom. After the plot deviated from the original track, it seemed that Eisner was becoming more and more out of her control. She suddenly felt a bit scared. The scene of being tortured mercilessly by Eisner in her previous life was still vivid in her mind. This time, she couldn't make the same mistake again. She was the will of this world, and she had to regain her sovereignty.
Eisner knew nothing about all this. He followed an old friend to a high - class banquet in the territory. Only when the banquet started did he realize that the host was Victor. Standing among the guests, he watched as Victor thanked everyone for coming and then led Lucy's hand forward.
He announced to everyone, "This is my wife and the only love of my life, Lucy."
Eisner's friend was stunned on the spot. She looked at him in surprise and asked, "Eisner, didn't Lucy always chase after you? Why has she suddenly married someone else?"
Eisner didn't know how to explain. He had come to the banquet thinking of making some connections to strengthen the werewolf clan's status. But now, he seemed to have no interest in it.
All night, his eyes never left Lucy. He knew she had seen him, but she ignored him as if he didn't exist. Victor put his arm around Lucy's shoulder and accompanied her around the venue, chatting and socializing with the guests. If someone who didn't know the situation came to toast Lucy, he would block it.
He took good care of Lucy, always holding her hand and closely following her. Even a little bit of jam on Lucy's lips, he would gently wipe it off with a tissue.
When the banquet was half over, he somehow managed to get a pair of flat - soled shoes and personally bent down to change them for Lucy.
Lucy pouted and said, "These shoes are too low. I don't want to change them."
"Be good. Those high - heeled shoes must be uncomfortable. You're already tall enough. I don't see any other ladies here taller than you."
"What about Mrs. Ka? She's taller than me."
"But you're prettier." Victor's eyes sparkled like a starry sea.
While Victor was holding Lucy's foot to change her shoes, Eisner couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned around and fled.
