Chapter 31 Eric put the call on speakerphone. "Is my ex-wife with you?" Adrian asked the moment Eric received the call. It was the same way that he always spoke to me in the past; his voice was cold and harsh. Eric gave me a quick glance. Then, in response, I gave him a nod. "Yes, she's right next to me," Eric replied. 1 "Is Natalia really with you?" Again, Adrian questioned him as if he did not trust what he was saying. This time, his voice came out as laced with rage. It sounded like he was quite angry. After hearing him, I was filled with wrath. Did he think Eric was lying to him? Why would he? The only thing I wanted was to find out the reason behind his calling. Instead of Eric, I replied to Adrian, "What else, Alpha Adrian?" Adrian was caught off guard by my abrupt engagement in conversation. He remained quiet for a while before finally breaking his silence and said, "I would advise you two not to be so pushy. We haven't gone through the official rejection ceremony yet." I grabbed the phone from Eric's hand and said, Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the ƒindNoᴠᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. "Reject ceremony? You never marked me, so forget about it." "But unfortunately, my name was merged with yours. So we have to arrange this ceremony for my pack." I immediately clenched my fists as soon as he spoke the word "unfortunately." I pondered over the depth of the affection I had for him, only to have it go unnoticed by him. I did not forget the time when I asked him to refrain from disc How could someone be so ignorant of another person's love that they became completely blind to it? From the very beginning, all he wanted was for me "You are such a scumbag!" I let out in anger. "Stop talking nonsense and come back to the Crystal Blood Pack "Why would I care about any kind of ceremony? After all these years, now you remember about this ceremony?" I asked while shaking my head. He was such a cheap person! As if straight out of a dramatic plot line, just when he thought I had moved on with my life, he suddenly decided to organize "Don't forget that you are still, nominally, the gamma's daughter, so you have to show some respect for your father and our pack." he reminded me, think I laughed at his way of speaking. "You don't have to be concerned about my father, Alpha Adrian. I am going to deal with him in my own way. "Yeah, sure. I am already aware of the way in which you handled the situation." It caused me to scowl when he stated that. "What do you mean?" I asked. Adrian kept quiet for a brief second. I understood that he might be smoking. That man was someone I knew quite well. He was not only the person I had married but also the man I used to love the most. So 1 was aware of his eve "Why did you post that?" He asked a question that left me bewildered. I turned my head toward Eric. "He is talking about the post you wrote about his darling," Eric reminded me. He said it out loud to let Adrian know that he was still there. "Listen, Alpha Adrian. Your girlfriend was the one who initially provoked me by breaking the news of the conversation that took place between me and my "What rubbish! Why would she do that?" I rolled my eyes. "Yeah, how can she do that? She is your moonflower." Eric started to laugh while sitting in my chair. It came to my attention that he was grabbing my coffee mug. He took a few sips of it. "Hey! That's my coffee." I said to Eric. Eric grinned to himself as he glanced at me. "It's okay." I heard Adrian's low growl coming from the phone. "You two are such shameless people!" I had enough of this man. He had destroyed my life. How could he talk so proudly? "You took Lynda to live with us within our marriage. Though I was the papers and signed them first, don't forget who forced me to sign divorce papers. Now you are talking about respect? Did you have any regard for me wh There was a period of silence from Adrian. Inside of me, my heart was pounding really fast. The man was trying to provoke me, but I did not want to talk "It's about the pack, and it's Luna's position." Adrian muttered. "Why should I care about your pack now? After all, I even gave up Luna's position to Lynda!" Eric gave me a thumbs up and took a sip of coffee from the mug again. His satisfaction was evident as he listened to my conversation with Adrian. He looked pleased by the way I was replying to my ex- husband. My voice was equally cold, the same as Adrain's. Adrian's voice breathed a bit of fatigue, "My father is sick, and he is currently in the hospital. He is clamoring to see you. He said he would not take his m My chest became quite tight. Despite the fact that Adrian and I had gone our separate ways, his father had been very kind to me during the years that w In spite of his strict nature, he never failed to show me support and respect. It was always his intention to correct his son for the way he treated me. Just thinking about him lying in the hospital bed caused me to experience a range of emotions. "In your pack hospital, right? I'll be over to visit him as soon as I can." I replied to him and cut the call immediately. D Search the FindNovel.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
