Ethan paused in his steps, his wolf momentarily hesitating. I looked at him with my swollen eyes, but I was met with coldness, his amber eyes devoid of their usual warmth.
"I'll say it one last time, don't call me Daddy again, do you hear me?" Ethan's voice carried the unmistakable command of a dominant wolf rejecting a pack member.
I had only seen Ethan look at Olivia and Lily that way. I never imagined that one day, Ethan would look at me with such eyes.
My small body trembled like a willow catkin in the wind, my wolf pup cowering within me. My lips moved, wanting to call out "Daddy," wanting to continue to act spoiled as before.
But under those cold eyes, I couldn't utter a single word. I could only watch as Ethan turned and strode away, leaving my room, going downstairs, his footsteps fading into the distance.
My body trembled even more violently. Was Daddy really abandoning me, did he not want me anymore? The moment this thought surfaced in my mind, I suddenly shook my head vigorously.
No! Daddy couldn't abandon me! I couldn't lose Daddy!
"Daddy!" I rolled out of bed, not bothering to put on clothes or shoes, and ran out.
By the time I reached the door, Ethan was already out of the iron gate, opening the door to his Shadow Ghost and getting in. The car started, ready to drive away.
I was a clever child. If I wasn't clever, I wouldn't have been able to cooperate with Mommy and act so well in front of Ethan, never raising his suspicions over the years.
So, I knew very well that Daddy was truly angry this time, and if I didn't soften his heart today, I would really lose this Daddy.
At this moment, I realized that even if Ethan couldn't give me a luxurious life, couldn't satisfy my vanity, as long as Daddy was mine, I would be willing.
"Daddy!" I ran out barefoot. In the cold winter night, the wind was biting.
Wearing only a thin nightgown, I was immediately struck by a shiver as I stepped out of the door, my wolf pup whimpering from the cold. I flinched. But I didn't retreat.
