Honestly , she seemed like she really wanted this divorce . I heard some of that call too . Youve already got someone new in your life , so why cling to her ?

He grew used to the way she quietly gave and and she eventually earned a small place in his heart . gave , If Constance hadnt appeared , maybe they couldve lived a simple , peaceful life together , just like many ordinary couples . But he couldnt let go of Evangeline . That was why he kept Constance close . Still , wasnt Elena aware of all this ? Hadnt she tolerated it for years ? Why couldnt she keep going now ? She needed him and Kane . And they needed her just the same . Why couldnt she just stay ? Whatever she wanted if she had just asked they wouldve given it to her . He didnt lack women . He had already lost Evangeline before , so was he now going to lose Elena too ? Robin couldnt understand it . He no longer wanted to see Constance , so he went back home instead . The lights were on at home , but the place felt inexplicably cold and empty without Elena . Robin noticed that the luggage Elena had packed was still sitting exactly where shed left it- not a single thing had been moved . He slowly began to feel at ease . Heh , just as I thought . This whole divorce thing was just one of your tricks . You mustve been hiding somewhere near the state court , waiting to see how wed react , right ? You You didnt take your things . That means youre definitely coming back . Robin spoke with confidence to himself as he stared at the luggage . Then , he picked up the phone and called his assistant , Andrew Hurst . Andrew , cancel all the personnel sent out to look for Elena . No need to search anymore . Shell come back sooner or later . Go buy up all the latest jewelry at the auction house , and make sure the news gets out that Im giving them to my wife . Shell definitely return once she hears this . Andrew hesitated for a long while , then asked doubtfully , Mr. Marsh , are you sure thatll work ? Im sure . Just do it . Elena left all her things at home , so she cant possibly be serious about the divorce . Robin was full of certainty . Andrew wanted to speak up but bit his tongue . Was his boss certain that Elena simply didnt even want her luggage anymore ? If she truly hadnt meant it , wouldnt she have just simply faked it ? Besides , hed already found their flight information . After some hesitation , Andrew simply stayed quiet and did as he was told . The next day , Constance brought Kane back to the house , unable to hide the smile on her face . Andrew coincidentally arrived at the same time to deliver several sets of jewelry . When Constance saw them , her eyes lit up but she quickly hid her excitement . She ran her fingers over one of the necklaces with delight , smiling shyly and sweetly . Robin , are these all for me ? You really shouldnt spend so much . Youve already given me so much . Chapter 10 Theyre not for you . If you like them , ask Andrew to get more . These are for Elena , Robin frowned slightly , not noticing how her smile had frozen on her face . Kanes expression turned dark in an instant . He protested loudly , Dad , that womans already gone ! Why are you still buying her things ? Just give them to Constance ! He grabbed a necklace and tried to help Constance put it on . Constance hesitated slightly , pretending to be embarrassed , but still bent down . After fastening the necklace , Kane beamed . It looks so good on you ! Just take them all- theyre yours now . Constance made a show of hesitating . This isnt really right … These were meant for Elena . Shell definitely get upset if she finds out you gave them to me . Hmph , thats the point I want her to be upset , Kane muttered under his breath . Constance didnt catch that , but Robin did . Perhaps Elena would come back if she got angry ? That thought settled in Robins mind , and he didnt say anything else to stop them , though a strange unease stirred inside him . One day passed . Then two … and then five . Elena just never came back . In "Claimed by the Alpha I Hate" by CrushReel, Daisy Storm grapples with an inexplicable absence of her wolf and inability to shift, enduring rejection from her pack.
