This unexpected turn confused me. I thought I would be harshly ridiculed and humiliated. I expected a blade, but he offered me a

sweet grape.

Crystal clear, emitting a faint fruity aroma.

Xander: Try this grape for me. Is it sour? I don’t like sour grapes. This matter is important to me; it’s enough repayment.”

I quickly ate it.

I was ready for a sweet explosion. But… it was incredibly sour.

WHAT KIND OF GRAPES WERE THESE?!” My wolf was caught off guard by the sudden bitterness, making her forget all about the guilt.

‘Sweet?” he asked seriously.

My head ached from the sourness.

…Sweet! Very sweet! I’m not lying!”

Very sweet? Then they’re all yours.” Xander pushed the entire plate of grapes towards me, wiping his fingers.”Ask Liam to pack some for you later. He planted them himself. He says they’re effective in treating facial paralysis.”

It was probably the sourness that caused it.

I forced myself to eat the sour grapes. Even though the process was excruciatingly sour, at least they were naturally grown, pesticide-free grapes.

Liam brought two bowls of ice cream.

Seeing the grape skins on the round table, he was delighted.”Secretary Wells, you like them?”

…Uh-

I couldn’t bear to dampen his enthusiasm, fearing more grapes. I quickly changed the subject to the ice cream. “This ice cream looks delicious!”

Try it. I made it with the finest milk.” Liam handed me a bowl.

I ate it, praising him. “Delicious, really delicious.”

‘More delicious than the very sweet grapes?” A calm question came from the side.

Me:…

My wolf was caught off guard by his words.

“Secretary Wells has good taste. I’ll pack some for you. Take them home. They’re a bit sour, but grapes need that touch of sourness

to be delicious.”

Liam happily started packing grapes for me.

I looked at the grapes on the table and quickly took a bite of ice cream.

Xander also scooped some of his ice cream and ate it.

‘SO HE LIKES ICE CREAM… My wolf murmured.

I ate slowly, watching him, thinking that I was bold enough to risk everything today.

The morphere was good, so I might as well resolve the other issue.

Then I could finally rest easy,

“Mr. Shaw… “I bit into my spoon, taking a deep breath. “Can we just forget what happened? Please don’t hold it against me. I was impulsive, and I also have poor hearing. I feel very guilty. Let’s just forget about it, okay?”

Xander put down his spoon.

When he looked up at me, my heart pounded. I braced myself for a scathing rebuke, but he simply replied lightly, “Okay.”

“OKAY? REALLY? My wolf was stunned, her voice dripping with disbelief.”HE WASN’T JOKING?”

I felt a strange sense of disorientation from the too-quick resolution.

Xander smiled playfully. “Let’s put the past behind us. We should look forward and embrace a new Chapter, strouldn’t we?”

I blinked.

The words were perfectly fine, but I sensed a hidden meaning.

‘Why aren’t you speaking?” he asked.

Yes, yes. You’re right. We need to put the past behind us.”
