Chapter 99 New Scheme
A deep male voice cut through the tension.
“Ms. Crawford, so you really don’t trust me?!”
Snowball bolted upright. Yes! They were finally selling!

He crept to the doorway and peeked around the frame. The peacock stood rigid and cold.
“Ms. Crawford, if I’d known you were still like this, I would’ve stayed with Holly and never come back!”
Anneliese snapped back with force.
“Still like what?!
“If you’re my mate, then everything should revolve around me.
“Looks like I spoiled you too much. Now you’ve got the nerve to bring up other women to my face.
“And if you didn’t do anything, then why do you look so guilty?”
Evan stopped in his tracks. He turned and locke eyes with her. His sharp, dignified eyes were glistening.
His lips trembled.
“You think I feel guilty?”
Anneliese faltered for a beat. Wow, okay. He’s really going for it, she thought.
And now he’s crying? Come on, it’s just acting.
Hudson had been prepped earlier that morning He more or less understood what was going on. When he saw Evan’s tears, he stepped in. “Evan, Ms. Crawford didn’t mean it like that.”
“She didn’t- She absolutely did. I’m not an idio. Why waste words on someone who already made up her mind?”
Evan let out a dry laugh and turned away.
Hudson hugged his egg tighter and shouted, “Ean! Evan! Don’t go!”
Evan told him to stay out of it.

If he didn’t walk away now, something would happen to his egg, and he wouldn’t even know.
Snowball figured it was time to step in. He couldn’t just lurk forever.
Things had escalated too far. He moved into the doorway. “You hurt the kid, and now you’re playing victim?”
He stepped right in front of Evan, waiting to watch him crash and burn.
The idea of it gave him a disgusting sense of satisfaction.
Evan didn’t even flinch. He bumped his shoulder and kept walking.
Snowball turned and glared at his back. His eyes darkened with menace.
Annelise called out, “Snowball.”
He turned fast and put on his best gentle smile.
“Don’t be mad, Anneliese. I’ve seen guys like that. All bark, no brain. Nothing good ever comes out of their mouths.”
Annelise slowly shook her head.
She turned, still fuming, and walked
I into her room.
She had a pretty good idea
I who Snowb
would aim for next. But he wouldn’t make his move just yet. She had to give him the chance.
While Snowball was distracted, A slipped out to the backyard and grabbed a chicken
egg.
Shifter eggs were smaller. She sorted through several, half-boiled one, and polished it until it looked just right.
She passed it to Hudson while pretending to check on the baby. She leaned in and whispered, “Don’t mix them up. Later, leave the chicken egg on the stone table. Make it look like you just forgot. Got it?”
Hudson used his tail to separate the two eggs.
His real egg stayed in his arms. The fake one stayed wrapped in his tail.
One of his fox ears tilted sideways. “What does make it look natural’ mean?
“Ms. Crawford… what if I mess it up? What if Evan and Adrian don’t come back?”

Anneliese looked up at him with a soft smile.
Right now, Hudson just looked dumb and sweet
Truth was, “natural” meant simple.

And Hudson was always simple. He just wanted home. He just wanted love. Even when he lost it, he only dug at the dirt. He never hurt anyone.
Even when Snowball attacked him and clawed his shoulder, he thought it was his own fault.
He never blamed Snowball. He just thought his red fur was useless.
And after having a baby, he didn’t want anything else anymore.
Anneliese sighed. “Just be your usual self. That’s natural enough. Go.”
Hudson’s other ear drooped the opposite way.
Now both ears tilted down like little airplane wings.
Anneliese had to resist the urge to pet him.
By noon, Hudson sat at the stone table outside. He finished his meal and stood. His tail brushed against the table and left the chicken egg behind.
Anneliese watched everything through the window.
Snowball didn’t notice at first. Then he spotted the egg but didn’t react.
