They Called Me Heartless So Reborn I Watched Them Self Destruct novel Chapter 187

Chapter 187: 187- Losing Her Husband’s Affection

Third-Person POV:

Ten days had passed since Chris signed the papers to become Alpha, and another thirty days remained before the ceremony.

Angela hadn’t brought up Ava again after their conversation that evening. Chris had behaved normally afterward, treating her with the same affection as before, so she tried to convince herself that she had nothing to worry about.

But she couldn’t completely forget what he’d said.

She continued with her Luna duties, attending meetings, and overseeing the household arrangements. She had been trained for these responsibilities since childhood, and taking over after her father’s death hadn’t been particularly difficult.

Chris, meanwhile, was spending longer hours in his office as he adjusted to being Alpha. Some evenings, Angela barely saw him before dinner.

Then, one morning, everything changed.

Angela woke up and reached for her husband, only to find his side of the bed empty. She glanced at the clock. It was still early, and Chris usually woke her before leaving.

Wondering where he’d gone, she slipped on her robe and made her way downstairs. She was halfway down the staircase when she heard someone crying.

At first, she thought a pack member had come to see Chris about an emergency. But when she looked toward the living room, she stopped.

A young woman was standing in her husband’s arms. The girl had buried her face against Chris’s chest, crying as though something terrible had happened. Chris held her close with one arm wrapped around her waist while his other hand gently stroked her hair.

Angela waited for him to pull away, but he didn’t.

Instead, Chris lowered his head and kissed the girl’s hair. A few seconds later, he did it again, murmuring something Angela couldn’t hear.

It was such a familiar gesture that Angela immediately remembered all the mornings Chris had held her exactly that way.

She remained on the staircase, watching her husband comfort another woman with the same tenderness he usually reserved for his wife.

“Chris?”

Her voice made Chris look up immediately. The moment he saw Angela standing on the staircase, he loosened his arms around the girl and gently pushed her away.

The girl seemed equally startled. She quickly straightened, wiping her cheeks with both hands before turning toward Angela.

“Good morning, Luna.” She bowed her head respectfully, although her eyes were still filled with tears. “I’m so sorry for coming here like this. I just wanted to see Chris. That’s all.”

Angela slowly descended the remaining stairs, glancing at her husband before looking back at the girl.

Up close, she could see that the young woman was quite pretty. Her eyes were red from crying, and she seemed to be struggling to keep herself composed.

“I came to give you both my blessings,” the girl continued, attempting a smile. “That’s all. And believe me, you two look wonderful together.” Another tear rolled down her cheek, but she quickly wiped it away.
