Chapter 0354 Dad ? I heard Irene saying as she approached .
It was 9:30 now .
When I looked at her , I saw that her eyes were puffy , and her bottom lip was quivering .
I stood from my seat and walked towards her .
She had her luggage in hand , and Matt was standing behind her with his own luggage .
Whoever hurt her my little girl was going to die .
What happened ? I asked her as she wrapped herself in my arms , moisture from her tears soaking into my shirt .
Can we talk on the way to the resort , she sniffled .
I nodded , reeling in my temper .
Matt smiled at me as I rubbed his hair with my hand .
Do I get to see Judy in action ? He asked , his eyes filled with excitement .
I chuckled .
Yes , I told him .
He fist pumped in the air , excitement consuming him .
He went on and on about how hes been watching her on TV through the streaming service and hes excited to see it in person .
The entire time , Irene was lost in thought staring out the window as we drove towards the resort .
So , tell me whats going on ? I asked after a long wait , and once Matt finally started to drift off to sleep in the backseat .
I was trying to keep myself calm , but my worry and frustrations were evident .
My engagement ended , she whispered .
What ? I asked , my fists clenched around the steering wheel , my knuckles growing white .
The last thing I expected was for her to say that ; she was head over heels in love with Ethan .
I still remember when they met and I refused to let her date him , she was devasted and threatened her own life .
I had no choice but to let her be with him despite my own dislike of the guy .
I could see right through him ; he only wanted the title of Alpha for the Redmoon pack and he thought if he got close to my daughter , he would get close to me .
I deal with guys like that all the time ; I mean , he cheated on his own fated mate with my daughter so he could become an Alpha .
The only reason I allowed him to date Irene was because she threatened her own life .
I couldnt let anything happen to my daughter .
He was using me , she continued as tears spilled down her cheeks .
He cheated on me … or hes been cheating on me .
I reached over and grabbed a hold of her hand , squeezing it tightly .
Im sorry , was all I could think to say to her .
But really , I was plotting the many ways I was going to kill Ethan .
I really loved him , and I thought he loved me .
I thought … her voice trailed off as her eyes wandered out the window again .
