Helen had taken care of Snowshade Territory for over a thousand days, raising Desmond on her own and taking care of everything for him.
Helen calmly handled a number of unexpected crises in the territory, impressing even Jalen.
She’d made far too many sacrifices.
However, he could not forgive her for drugging him and giving birth to another man’s son, and all he wanted to do was punish her further.
Was it because his feelings for her grew stronger?
It felt like there was a large, airy hole in his chest with wind blowing through it.
He experienced pain for the first time.
It was also the first time he experienced regret.
He couldn’t stop thinking about Helen and Desmond, and he wanted to see them right away.
When Jalen heard laughter, he raised his head in delight.
However, it was Nyra and Celina.
“Daddy! Come hug your little Princess!”
Celina had always been spoilt, and he used to think it was adorable, but now he just felt annoyed.
He couldn’t stop thinking about Desmond; whenever he saw him, he was always in a hurry and berating him.
The young boy’s eyes were filled with hope; he hoped Jalen would hug him or praise him, but what did Jalen say? “Desmond, Helen, I’m sorry.”
He was full of regret.
“I need to go to Silverhowl Pack right now and ask for your forgiveness before bringing you home!”
Nyra cried and tried to stop him. “What about me and Celina, Jalen?”
“Celina is your daughter, too. She needs her father. I really love you. Do you truly want me to share your love with Helen?”
Previously, Jalen would give in whenever Nyra cried.
“Nyra, Desmond is my son. How many lies did you tell me?”
“The love you express for me… Is it true, or is it just a way to get what you want?”
“Don’t go anywhere with Celina.” Wait for my return. I have some questions for you.
Nyra collapsed, sitting on the ground, terrified.
Jalen left without hesitation for Silverhowl Pack.
“Helen and Desmond, wait for me!”
Jalen appeared unexpectedly in front of me and Desmond one afternoon.
What a surprise.
His chin was stubbled, he had dark rings beneath his eyes, and his normally tidy collar was a shambles. He appeared to have not slept in days.
When Jalen spoke, his voice sounded hoarse.
“Helen, I apologise. “I was wrong.”
“Desmond, may I hug you?””
He reached out to Desmond.
However, Desmond, who had received so much love at this time, quickly hid behind me.
“I don’t like you.”
Jalen’s eyes dimmed, and he knelt in front of me.
“Could you please give me another chance, Helen?” I know I’ve hurt you before and thought Desmond was someone else’s child. I was incredibly stupid!”
“It’s only recently that I’ve realised I’ve always loved you. I can’t bear the thought of you having a child with someone else because I love you so much.”
“If you agree to come home, I promise to love you properly. “The three of us can spend our days happily.”
Jalen humbly said nice things to me, as he had done in previous dreams.
If this had happened half a month ago, his words would have moved me to tears.
However, even the most brilliant purple violet would eventually wilt.
