Dusk Snow Hides All Return (Rowan and Adrienne) novel Chapter 40

Jason narrowed his eyes, seeking to assess the truth of

my

words.

“Are you sure you’re not joking

“Not joking. What, do you think I’m a masochist who doesn’t enjoy life?”

I asked rhetorically with a smile.

Jason thought for a moment and agreed. “Not working is good. You can just stay home, and we can try for a puppy. It will be the next Head Warrior of our Pack.”

I smiled, neither confirming nor denying.

Heh, you think so well of yourself. You want me to be your baby–making machine while you continue your nightly rendezvous with Sweetheart? Go ahead and dream on.

“Then I’ll start the resignation process these days. I want to travel to Europe; I’ve made plans with Summer. It’s been a long time since I’ve traveled.”

“Isn’t her law firm busy? Does she have time to travel with you?”

“She’s busy, but she specifically made time for me,” I said cheerfully.

Jason was momentarily speechless, as if realizing something.

After a while, he said again, “It’s good to get away. I’ll arrange your itinerary in advance, you don’t need to worry about anything, just relax and enjoy yourself.”

I still smiled, neither agreeing nor disagreeing. My wolf answered him silently in my head, “WE’LL SAY GOODBYE TO YOU

THEN.”

The wound on my forehead was too noticeable, and I didn’t want to appear in the company in such a tragic state at this crucial moment of resignation, so I took a few more days off.

With the extra time, I slowly and steadily packed my clothes, shoes, bags, and other miscellaneous items, moving them to the new house little by little. A little today, a little tomorrow; the cabinets were obviously empty, anyone paying a little attention could

notice.

But Jason remained completely oblivious,

Even when I burned our bonding ceremony photos in front of him in the yard, he was only focused on his phone, sometimes chuckling, sometimes happily replying to messages.

If only he had spared a second to look at his wife outside the bay window…

I stood in the setting sun’s glow, watching him with a smile, and stared at him quietly for a long time.

Until the lighter burned my fingertip, I reluctantly let go.
