Albaugh Arnold was often cold to Nork, he was not a rude or impolite man, on the contrary, he was courteous and patient with elders and people he respected

Listening to the ennversation just now, it was clear he had done Clark a favor

Nota tugged the corners of her mouth into a bitter smile as she recalled Arnold's unceremonious refusal when the had begged him to help her uncle.

She wouldn't delude herself into thinking Arnold had helped Clark because of her.

In fact, Clark would now only publicly acknowledge Linda as his daughter after his divorce from Nora's mother.

Almost no one knew that Nora was also his daughter.

And now, Nora wasn't even considered worthy of meeting Clark in

Sure enough, Clark continued:

I must also ask you

ask you to look after this mischievous daughter

Linda loves the Silvermoon Pack, and not only has she mentioned wanting to stay here, but I must

of mine in the future.

A dull ache passed through Nora's heart at those words.

Clark knew full well that Arnold was her husband, yet he shamelessly acted as a matchmaker between Linda and Arnold.

It was as though she, his own daughter, didn't exist in his

seyes

"Well, I will." Arnold replied indifferently.

The two men exchanged a few more pleasantries, discussing trade dealings between their packs, until a servant arrived to inform Arnold it was nearly time for Grandmother's meal. Clark excused himself shortly after.

Arnold instructed the chauffeur in the limousine to ensure Clark was dropped off at his residence and watched his retreating figure

The scene reminded Nors of the cold, disdainful expression Arnold had worn during his first meetings with her grandmother and family.

It was a stark contrast to the gentle, courteous demeanor he now displayed.

Lena, her wolf, sighed in her mind:

"Nora, you made the right decision to leave. He's like two different people when dealing with your family and Linda's."

Nora smiled batterly.

"After all, he doesn't love me."

"I felt his desire for us once, back in Lorne. That's why I used to think Arnold wasn't entirely emotionless toward us, he simply didn't know how to

love."

Lena licked Nora's consciousness gently, trying to console her.

"Now it seems he just never wanted to invest his heart in us. Thankfully, we didn't wake up too late." Nora nodded

"Mm"

After a while, Arnold left as well.

Nora stayed in the garden a moment longer to collect herself, then entered the castle with her prepared gifts.

Even before stepping inside, she could hear Alex's cheerful laughter.

As she entered the rooms, the lively atmosphere in the

seemed to freeze for

At the same time, the similes vanished from her mother in law and Josiale's face.

The only one who greeted her warmly was Arnold's grandmother, who beamed and said, "Nora, there you aret Come close and let me see-have you but wright?"

Nora paid no mind to the subtle looks directed at her as she walked over to her grandmother "Grandmother, I've come to see you

The old lady's Een it up! a warm smile. She pulled Nora down to sit beside her, then frowned. "Why have you lost so much weight? Is Arnold treating you poorly? Tell me, and I'll make sure he gets an earful!" Nova maintained her composed sunile, slipping into the familiar role she hund played countless times before. "No, Grandmother, I've just been busy lately"

The truth was, after deciding to separate from Arnold, there had been a period when her mood had been so low she could barely eat.

More recently, she had been immersing herself in learning about jewelry design, spending late nights poring over materials and notes,

is her focus, she often forgot to eat.

Just then, a sharp, mocking voice interrupted.

"Dusy with work? For those who don't know, you still think you have such a key role in the pack" Jostal's mother, Victoria, sat nearby, radiating the air of a noblewoman.

She took a delicate sip of her tea before continuing, her tone cold. "If managing the pack's affairs is too burdensome for you, I'd be happy to take over. After all, your only real responsibilities should be raising your child and thinking about how to win Arnold's favor."

Josiah quickly chimed in with a grin. "Exactly! Not that it matters much-most of Silvermoon doesn't see her as the Luna anyway."

The old lady bristled at their words, her expression darkening as she prepared to rebuke them,

But before she could, Nora seized the moment to speak

"I've already forwarded all the information I have regarding Silvermoon. Once the handover is complete, I won't be involved in the pack's affairs any longer.

Her calm yet resolute declaration left both Josiah and Victoria visibly stunned...

Nora was taken aback. These days, Alex load never been this affectionate toward her, his sudden enthusiasm feir unfamiliar..

Behind Alex. Arnold entered the room as well.

Upon entering, he greeted the old lady and Victor in first. Then, his gaze briefly fell on Nors before he looked away, taking a seat in one of the chairs furthest from her.

Alex quickly left Nora's arms and ran over to him. "Daddy!"

"Well, sit down" Arnold sand, placing Alex in a side chair.

Arnold glanced around and was about to speak a handsome young man arrived.

The youth smiled at everyone. "Were you all expecting me?"

Josiah jokingly patted him on the head. "Yes, we've all been waiting for you hungrily!"

Harrison, the youngest son of the family, was still in school and significantly younger than his siblings Arnold and Josiah.

Unlike Arnold's aloofness and Josial's sharpness. Harrison had a sunny, cheerful demeanor that brought joy to the entire family

Everyone adored him.

Seeing him arrive, Victoria's usual stern expression softened into a smile. Since everyone's here, let's begin dining

The servants quickly served the meal, filling the long table with exquisite dishes

Alex approached the old lady with a gift box in his hands and said sweetly, "Great-grandmother, this is the gift I prepared for you."

The old lady lovingly stroked Alex's head. "Thank you, dear."

Victoria took a sip of her red wine, feigning a casual tone as she said, "Alex certainly knows how to behave. But Nora, you didn't come back this time without a present for the old lady, did you?"

"Mem, what do you expect a commoner born she wolf to pick out? Josiah chuckled. "Even if she did prepare something, it probably wouldn't be

worth mentioning."

"Enough, you two," the old lady said sternly. "Today is a day for family reunion. Whether Nora has prepared a gift or not, I'm just happy she's here."

Nora was so accustomed to their criticism that her expression didn't waver in the slightest.

She calmly retrieved a small gift box from her bag and handed it to the old lady. "Grandmother, this is the gift I chose for you. I hope you like it."

"What's this-jewelry?"

The old lady curiously opened the box

Inside was a perdare crafted from moonlight-colored natural diamonds, its brilliance captivating everyone in the room.

Diamonds were rare in the werewolf world as they had to be imported from the human realm.

A necklace with natural diamonds glowing with a light golden hue, reminiscent of moonlight, was a true treasure.
