The moment Gabriel inentioned a late–night snack, my internal alarm bells went off. Seeing him subtly signal someone, I was even more certain. My wolf was frantic, That supper must not be eaten!”

I approached Xander, my heart pounding but my demeanor composed. I stood beside him. “Mr. Shaw, your nutritionist strictly forbids you from eating anything after 9:30 PM. Let’s skip the late–night snack.”

A gentle light shone in Xander’s deep eyes.“I’ll listen to you.”

Gabriel’s face darkened. “Sophia, you’re quite overbearing, aren’t you?”

I smiled politely.“Gabriel, you’re joking. How would I dare control our Mr. Shaw? The Chairman’s wife asked me to supervise on her behalf. The nutritionist is her appointee, and she’s very strict. She requires daily data records, no falsifications allowed. I’m just an employee, I’m also in a difficult position.”

Gabriel snorted. “You’re using the Chairman’s wife to pressure me.”

Me:“I wouldn’t dare.”

‘So, as long as the Chairman’s wife agrees, we can have this late–night snack”

Gabriel pretended to call someone on his phone. His wolf sneered internally, “SHE THINKS I DON’T KNOW THESE WORDS ARE FABRICATED BY THIS LITTLE VIXEN. WHAT NUTRITIONIST? WHAT Chairman’S WIFE ASKING HER TO

SUPERVISE? SHE JUST MAKES IT UP AS SHE GOES ALONG.”

He intended to scare her, forcing Xander to stop her from going to have a late–night snack. Unexpectedly, neither of them reacted. They waited expectantly as he pretended to find the number.

Gabriel continued feigning a search for the number.

Me: Go ahead and call.*

My wolf snorted, “I BET HE DOESN’T DARE!” A chaotic elder calling a child’s mother late at night to ask if they could take her child for a late–night snack? Which mother wouldn’t be furious? The Chairman’s wife would likely rush over to kill him.

That’s why I mentioned the Chairman’s wife instead of the Chairman. The father would care about face and business, but the mother wouldn’t care about that. Whoever touches her child, she’ll fight to the death.

Gabriel’s expression became increasingly uncomfortable. He cleared his throat, “Oh, it’s just a late–night snack; it’s not a big deal. Let’s not bother the Chairman’s wife. Let’s have a little something; we can’t refuse Uncle Fox’s offer with so many people here.”

Xander smiled at me, “Is it okay?”

୮

Usually, he maintained a cool demeanor, his eyes veiled in a layer of cold mist, making him difficult to approach. Even when he smiled, it didn’t reach his eyes, wasting a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes. Moreover, his Alpha aura was overwhelming; nobody in the Pack dared to look at his appearance closely.

Unlike now, the cold mist dissipated, like a fairyland.

I looked at him, almost falling into the ‘peach blossom enchantment.”

I pinched my hand to regain my composure, then shook my head in agreement, “No! Absolutely not!”

Xander looked at Gabriel regretfully, “Did you hear that? She’s very strict. If I disobey, I’ll face her wrath.”

His tone, his words, his expression…

Even knowing he was acting, I was still apprehensive. My wolf was even more anxious, “HE’S OVERDOING IT! HE’S OVERDOING IT! IF HE KEEPS GOING, WE REALLY WON’T BE ABLE TO CLEAR OUR NAMES, EVEN IF WE JUMP

INTO THE COLORADO RIVER!”
