Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 202

Chapter176.

At this point, I couldn’t speak for Xander. The resort was a joint venture; whether we made a scene or not wasn’t something a secretary could handle the consequences of.

I looked at Xander.

Uncle Fox is about to cry. Fine, let’s just sit.”

Xander said cheerfully.

Gabriel’s wolf was furious, “THIS LITTLE BRAT ALWAYS HAS THE UPPER HAND

I nodded obediently, “Okay.” I stepped aside.

I don’t know if it was my imagination, but he seemed in a good mood. He wasn’t worried about Gabriel’s tricks? He doesn’t seem so unguarded.

After a back–and–forth, we agreed to go without eating.

In the dining room, a long table was filled with people. Various dishes were laid out, including barbeque and seafood porridge, Filling the room with aroma.

Gabriel sat at the head of the table. Xander sat in the first seat on the right I and Secretary Chou didn’t sit down, standing in a

corner of the dining room.

Gabriel arranged for Susan to sit next to Xander. My wolf was excited, ‘HE STILL HASN’T GIVEN UP!*

I couldn’t pay attention to them and focused on the person Gabriel had signaled. The person wasn’t one of the four VIPs or Secretary Chou. It was a beautiful woman with delicate features, a glamorous face, clearly the product of plastic surgery.

She sat next to Susan.

Everyone started eating.

‘Mr. Shaw, a little porridge is fine; porridge is the healthiest.”

The woman stood up, scooping a bowl of porridge, her long nails seemingly trembling above the bowl’s rim. Without any conspiracy theory, it might be because she felt the porridge was hot. But considering Gabriel’s subtle signal, it was different. Poision in her nails?

I pondered.

୮

Xander politely thanked her.

But he didn’t touch the porridge. No matter how much Gabriel and the others praised the porridge, he just wouldn’t eat it.

Everyone: There’s no one more difficult to persuade than this!”

Gabriel seemed to give up. Susan tried several times to get Xander’s attention, but failed. They gradually quieted down.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, I saw the woman next to Susan get up and leave the table. She walked toward the exit, passing by me with a scent of cherry liqueur. My wolf smelled again, confirming it was cherry liqueur.

She didn’t return until the late–night snack was over.

Xander got up to leave. Gabriel walked him to the door, followed by the others like a trail of tails.

At the door, I glanced outside and saw that the woman, who hadn’t returned, was now strolling along a path outside the villa, seemingly carrying a bottle of water, her walk unsteady. Did she fail her task and go to relax?
