Kayla's POVGazing at his cold face, I instinctively shielded Daisy behind me. "Yes.""You got married in Europe?""Her father and I have separated.""Huh," Harrison sneered, his gaze turned icily toward me. "So, changing mates is so simple for you, huh?What?"Did you once again approach him, claiming to be his mate?""I..." Harrison's mockery left me feeling unfairly targeted. My blood seemed to be congealing in my body, leaving me frozen in place, unaware that Daisy had moved to Harrison's side."Daisy, come back!"I wanted to stop my daughter, but I was too late. Daisy reached out and tugged at the hem of Harrison's clothing."Hi, you smell really nice, like the scent of daisies."Harrison froze, repeating Daisy's words in a low voice,"Daisies?"Daisy nodded. "Yeah, my favorite scent."I stood aside, my heart pounding. I feared Harrison might erupt in anger towards Daisy or redirect his hatred for me towards her. Yet, the next second, I caught a fleeting glimpse of a smile on Har
Kayla's POV"Goodbye, Nurse Echo! Farewell, Doctor Lee! I'll miss you!""Goodbye, Daisy! Let's not have another encounter at the hospital next time!"I brought Daisy to the hospital today for a final check-up.Even though Daisy stayed in the hospital for three days, she had formed a strong bond with the medical staff. After completing the checking, she insisted on bidding farewell to each person individually, holding my hand as we walked out. On our way back to the hotel, she remained quiet, her gaze fixed on the passing scenery beyond the car window.But my attention was elsewhere, preoccupied with our current situation.I glanced at the hospital bill, the number leaving me sighing quietly to myself. It was high time for me to start looking for a job.To ensure I was fully focused during upcoming interviews, I decided to first find a suitable daycare center nearby. Luckily, the hotel we were staying at was adjacent to a large residential community. This made it relatively easy for me
Kayla's POVThe sudden appearance of Luisa and Rebecca completely threw a wrench into my plans. I rushed to print out new resumes so as not to miss my afternoon interviews. I almost missed the fourth interview.Yet, these interviews ran over the expected schedule by more than two hours.Consequently, when I finally reached the daycare to pick up Daisy, my fatigue-laden body was dragging behind me. The place was practically deserted except for Daisy herself, sitting alone in the classroom. She was still engrossed in building blocks, but her companion had shifted from the earlier little girl to a stuffed bunny.Cough, cough.A day full of hustle and bustle, combined with the chilly evening, led to an involuntary bout of coughing on my part."Mommy!"Daisy immediately recognized my voice. Without a second thought, she dropped her toys and rushed over to where I stood by the door."Sorry, Daisy. Mommy got here later today."I reached out to pat her head, gazing at her little face with a s
Kayla's POVAfter finding a satisfactory job, my top priority became searching for a suitable apartment to move out of the hotel. However, as I traversed more than a dozen blocks and finally settled on a few convenient locations with decent daycare facilities, the rental prices left me speechless. The apartments within my budget were either in remote areas or lacked community security.I hesitated, unable to make up my mind. The agent who had accompanied us throughout the day seemed to sense my dilemma, and impatience was written all over his face. In response, I could only offer an apologetic smile and softly ask, "Excuse me, are there any other options?"As expected, the agent ruthlessly dismissed my request, adding a mocking tone, "You don't even have money. Why are you bothering to look for a place? You might as well sleep on the streets!"Because of this comment, Daisy, who had initially been excited, returned to the hotel with a glum expression. "Mommy, are we not moving anymore
Harrison's POVOn a night with a full moon, I returned to my old home according to the rules and had dinner with my mother, Blair.Although I had been dependent on my mother, Blair, before coming of age, our relationship had become distant since I took over The Dark Night Pack by violent means, slaying the elder council leader, imprisoning other important members, and establishing myself as the Alpha through forceful methods.I was well aware that my mother, Blair, as the former Luna of The Dark Night Pack, always upheld the traditions of the pack.She considered the overthrow of the elder council through violence and the creation of a new rule to be against tradition.Even though I was her own son, her heart was still filled with disapproval. Especially when it came to my years of being Alpha without announcing a Luna candidate, she was very discontent.This not only went against the customs of The Dark Night Pack but was also quite irregular in the entire werewolf world.As expected
Kayla's POV"So, this is why you came back?" Harrison squeezed out a cold laugh from his throat, "Because you found a wealthier man?"Harrison's icy gaze felt like an invisible blade, piercing into my flesh. I instinctively took a few steps back, my weak hands bracing against the stone wall behind me to steady myself.When did I become a gold digger in Harrison's eyes?With that thought, I straightened my posture, forcing myself to appear composed. But as I spoke, my voice trembled uncontrollably."Harrison, I know I was wrong six years ago. I came back because there was something important I needed to do. Once I've taken care of it, I'll explain everything to you..."Perhaps triggered by my mention of six years ago, Harrison interrupted me with anger."Something important? Like selling yourself?"Harrison's deep eyes, in the midst of this night's darkness, seemed to be burning with two clusters of dark green flames."No wonder you refused to be Kelowna's mistress. After all, with his
Kayla's POVBased on the business card Harrison provided, I started searching online for information about Charlin Children’s Cross Hospital and the specialist, Joshua Ferrera.It turned out to be a private hospital dedicated to treating pediatric illnesses. The facility was equipped with state-of-the-art diagnostic equipment and treatment tools, and almost every doctor there was a top-notch expert in their field. They not only boasted extensive clinical experience but also had their own research teams and laboratories.And this Dr. Joshua Ferrera was a medical doctor specializing in congenital heart diseases, having successfully treated numerous cases like Daisy's.As I perused the information about Joshua Ferrera, seeing his success stories in treating children's heart conditions, my hands trembled with excitement. However, before my joy could fully blossom, the exorbitant fees and the stringent appointment process of the hospital poured a bucket of cold water on the tiny flame of h
Kayla's POVTwo days later, it was my first day at work. I deliberately woke up early, dropped my daughter off at a nearby daycare, and then took a bus to the downtown magazine office.This magazine's headquarters were based in Europe, and this branch in Gorden City was established to tap into the American market.Therefore, the number of employees in the magazine was not substantial. Including me, there were about twenty people in total.At nine in the morning, the editor-in-chief of the magazine, Lilian, appeared punctually. With her striking short red hair, she briskly urged all the staff members to gather in the company's meeting room for the first meeting."After multiple discussions within the board of directors, we've decided to use the name 'Dawn,' leveraging the international influence of Dawn Magazine to boost the recognition of our magazine and quickly become a prominent name in Gorden City," Lilian said, shifting from her brief self-introduction to discussing the new compa
