Amelie’s most troublesome fear was what if someone attacked them or Noah during the welcoming ceremony. Fortunately, everything went well, and the event came to an end on a good note. The tired pup had slept off after getting blessings from so many people. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
As she entered the bedroom, she first changed Noah’s clothes and put him into a comfortable one.
"Noah enjoyed the event. I saw him radiating his smile to everyone," Flora remarked. "It’s good that he has a cheerful personality." She gently moved the cradle and added, "You looked troubled even during the event. Is it because of what’s happening here? The news about Juniper has spread everywhere."
"The palace is usually full of drama. But that doesn’t trouble me. What bothers me is that Ophelia is trying hard to harm me or Gabriel. It scares me seeing her resentment towards us. We both don’t even remember anything, yet the evil witch is pinning everything on us. If not for this ring, I think she would have hurt me by now," Amelie said, lowering her head to look at the ring.
Flora moved closer to Amelie and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. "Everything will be fine," she assured her sister. "Carlos and his grandmother have promised you that they would end the witch. And no one can harm Noah. Did you not hear the divination? Who knows, he will protect you from all of this." Flora’s calm words gradually soothed Amelie’s racing heart.
"Thank you, Flora," Amelie whispered, accepting the comfort. The brief silence ended as a new thought brightened her expression. "By the way, I saw Zander lingering around you. He’s quite adamant about having you as his mate. Are you still refusing his courtship?" she asked with genuine curiosity.
"I’m not refusing it," Flora replied, her gaze becoming distant. "I told you, returning to the Red River Pack will mean the anger from everyone. Whenever I think about what I did, I feel pathetic."
"Hmm. I thought you were fighting well with your past," Amelie said, her expression softening as she squeezed Flora’s hands. "Visit the pack sometimes. You have many beautiful memories there. I know this. You may not speak about them, but you do miss having those old times when everything was well."
"Let’s drop it," Flora urged, the reminder of the past clearly painful.
Amelie didn’t argue, simply nodding and giving a quiet "Hmm." Just then, she sensed a familiar presence. Gabriel’s scent was suddenly too sharp, too close, signaling his return.
"You’ve to go. Gabriel has come," Amelie said quickly, her tone dropping to an urgent whisper. "Goodnight." She gave her sister’s cheek a loving pat. Flora nodded, waved a silent farewell, and swiftly slipped out of the room just moments before Gabriel entered the bedroom.
"You didn’t go to bed yet," Gabriel observed, his voice low with fatigue and concern.
"How could I? I’ve been waiting for your return," Amelie replied, walking toward the dressing table. Gabriel’s eyes went straight to the cradle, checking on their son first before turning his attention to Amelie. She was already beginning to remove her ornaments one by one, the jewels clinking softly as they were placed on the glass surface.
"Everything went well," Gabriel said, offering an assurance about his recent activities as he suddenly appeared right behind her. He placed his large hands gently on her shoulders, his presence a solid comfort. "Want me to remove the gown?" he asked, his voice softening.
