Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 388

Chapter 363.

Thomas was in his study.

Linda was enjoying the evening air in the rooftop garden on the third floor.

Seeing her son arrive, she stood up happily. “What brings you here? Did your father tell you they’re bringing Anna back, and you’re

thrilled?”

Xander’s expression was impassive, though not angry, his quiet intensity was still intimidating.

“Xander, why are you looking at me like that?” Linda touched her face.

Xander gestured politely.”Please, sit.”

Linda sat.

Xander sat beside her.

“Have you had dinner? Would you like some cantaloupe?” She offered him a piece from a fruit bowl.

“Mom, I’m in love. You probably know already,” Xander said unexpectedly.

Linda’s hand froze.

Mother and son stared at each other.

They were silent, but more emotions had already been fully conveyed through their family bond.

After a few seconds, Linda nodded, smiling.”Your father told me. You and Sophia are dating. I told him to keep quiet.

Sophia just severed her bond; such rumors would be bad for her reputation.”

“That’s right. Loving her, pursuing her, then not taking responsibility wouldn’t be right. So, as you often say, as a responsible future alpha, I will bond with her.” Xander stated, not as a question, but as a confirmation.

He leaned back, his eyes dark and still.

Linda froze, feeling her blood run cold.

After a long moment, she spoke. “Xander, I’m happy you’re in love. But I have some thoughts. Sophia is beautiful and capable, according to your father. Her family background is… ordinary.

But we shouldn’t be too picky. If we must point out a flaw, it’s her bonding severance history.”

“Xander, I can’t honestly say I don’t mind this. You should understand.”

“You represent the Shaw Family. Soon, you will become the alpha of MoonCloud Pack. Many eyes are on you, and your father and I have to consider these things.”

Xander listened.

He leaned over, picked up a piece of cantaloupe with a fork, and offered it to his mother. “So, you disapprove?”

Linda took the fork and slowly ate the fruit.”I know you won’t listen to me if I disapprove. You’ve always been firm in your decisions, and that’s why you’re going to be the future alpha.”

“So?” Xander patiently asked.

“So, there’s nothing I can do,” Linda sighed.

“Before

you came, I didn’t know you truly liked Sophia. I thought it was a pretense. You’ve presented me with a big problem, and I need time to process it.”

“You only found out just now? Then why did you call Anna back?” Xander’s eyes sharpened.

“Of course not! Anna wanted to return, we can’t chain her. Besides, you’re in love with Sophia, Anna means nothing to you anymore. You don’t like her, so what are you afraid of?”

Xander chuckled softly “You’re right.”

He stood and stretched, saying casually, “Now that we’ve talked, let me express my thoughts. Please convey this to her; give her warning” He turned.
