Chapter 64 

Chapter 64 

I could feel my face flush slightly, not sure how to respond to her teasing. Before I could come up with something clever, Vesta continued, “You’re both single, so how 

about…?” 

I forced a smile, trying to laugh it off. “Carlos has a fiancée,” I said, hoping that would put an end to the conversation. 

Vesta’s eyes widened, clearly shocked. “What? I had no idea! He never talks about his private life.” 

I nodded, suddenly feeling uncomfortable. The last thing I wanted was to start 

rumors about Carlos, but it seemed like Vesta was already putting the pieces 

together. I regretted saying anything, and as the minutes passed, I could sense that 

word was spreading. By the time I left the nursery, I could already hear whispers 

circulating throughout the organization. 

As I walked through the company later that day, I felt the weight of my mistake 

pressing down on me. Everywhere I turned, I could feel people glancing my way, 

their hushed voices just barely out of earshot. I knew they were talking about 

Carlos and his fiancée, and the knowledge that I had been the one to let it slip 

made me feel sick. 

The guilt followed me through the halls. I didn’t want to face Carlos again, especially now that his private life had become the topic of conversation. I tried to avoid him, but as I turned a corner, I found myself walking straight toward him. 

There was no escaping now. 

He spotted me immediately, his tall figure commanding the hallway. “Why did you leave without saying hello?” he asked, his voice steady, though there was a hint of curiosity behind it.

I hesitated, my stomach churning. “I–I’m sorry,” I stammered, struggling to find the right words. “I didn’t mean to… Everyone knows now. I told them about your fiancée, and I’m sorry for revealing your privacy.”

I braced myself for anger, for frustration, but instead, Carlos remained calm. His 

expression didn’t change. 

“It’s not a big deal,” he said, his voice even and composed. “It’s true. It’s not really a secret. It’s just that the lab technicians here didn’t know. You don’t have to beat yourself up about it.‘ 

” 

His calm demeanor took me by surprise. I had expected something more–perhaps disappointment, or even there was none of that. He seemed almost indifferent, as though this was nothing more than a passing moment. 

– 

Relief washed over me, but there was something else underneath it—a faint ache in my chest that I hadn’t anticipated. Hearing him confirm the reality of his fiancée, seeing how little it affected him, left me feeling more unsettled than I wanted to admit. 

“Thank you,” I managed to say, forcing a small smile. “I didn’t mean to cause any trouble.” 

“You didn’t,” Carlos replied, giving me a final nod before turning to leave., 

I stood there for a moment, watching him walk away. My heart was lighter knowing that he didn’t blame me, but at the same time, there was a small part of me that ached. I hadn’t realized how much the news of his fiancée had affected me until now. I pushed the feeling down, knowing there was nothing I could do about it. 

Just as I started to move, a sharp cry rang out from within me–Tina, my inner wolf, stirring in discomfort. I closed my eyes for a brief moment, trying to steady myself. Her emotions were a mirror of my own, and I knew I couldn’t ignore her any longer.
