"Patrick, it's not because of her, right?" Sean asked as he tapped the table with his finger.　　Patrick didn't say anything. Stewart leaned forward and asked with a gossipy expression, "Because of her? Who?"　　Since Sean did not speak, Stewart smiled and asked nosily, "Alpha Patrick, have you found your mate? Which pack does she belong to? When can we get to meet her, your future Luna?"　　Sean said gloatingly, "Stewart, I think you will get beaten if you ask more."　　"Go away! I'm asking Patrick. Alpha Patrick, who is the woman?" continued Stewart.　　In the next second, a fist came toward Stewart's curious face. Stewart was shocked. He quickly dodged and then patted his chest. "What the fuck! Patrick, you caught me off guard!"　　Sean smiled and said, "Idiot. What did I say? If you ask more, you will get beaten up. You didn't believe me. You deserve it."　　Stewart looked suspiciously between Sean and Patrick. Suddenly, he realized something. He sa

　　"Yes, I'm waiting for you," Derrick said briskly. "Gloria, you haven't answered me yet. The last time we talked, I wanted you to be my mate. Do you agree?"　　Gloria remembered the thing Derrick mentioned, but as she recalled, she rejected him the last time. Therefore, she was stunned right now.　　"I went to Italy a while ago. I came here as soon as I got back to Gabbs. I knew I'd see you here. Gloria, I want you to be my mate."　　Gloria's heart beat faster. She looked into Derrick's eyes, which were completely different from Patrick's. She gawked at Derrick's handsome face, which was so close to her.　　Gloria's mind went blank. She looked at Derrick in a daze.　　"Gloria, if you keep staring at me like this, I'm gonna..." Suddenly, she heard his voice with a smile.　　Gloria raised her head in a trance. She blinked and asked doubtfully, "What?"　　Derrick was amused by Gloria's reaction. He couldn't help but grin and say, "This." He lowered his head as soon as he finished speaking. Imm

　"Gloria, you don't need to do anything. Just stay there, and I'll come to you and hug you. Leave everything to me. If you don't give it a try, how can you taste the feeling of happiness? I won't make you sad or let you cry again."　　Derrick promised her and he almost convinced Gloria.　　Meanwhile, Patrick's voice echoed in her mind.　　"Gloria, do you think the current you deserve happiness?"　　Patrick's and Derrick's words kept repeating in Gloria's mind, and she had a headache.　　She roared inwardly, 'Happiness? Do I deserve it? I am a wretch! Mica died because of me! However, I am going to get the kind of happiness that everyone desires.　　Absurd!　　If Mica had not died because of me, she would have lived a happy life.'　　Pain, regret, self-denial, self-loathing... emotions overwhelmed her.　　Gloria was almost out of control. She couldn't distinguish the difference between her and Mica's happiness.　　She thought subconsciously tha

　After Derrick finished speaking, he turned a corner on his motorcycle, and they stopped in front of a wall of roses. He got off the motorcycle nimbly and said to Gloria, "We are here. This is the back door. Normally, I go by the front door."　　His words made Gloria reluctant to get off the motorcycle.　　Derrick raised his eyebrows and looked at her childish behavior. "Get off. Staying on the motorcycle won't change anything."　　"No!" She blinked and grabbed the seat under her butt firmly.　　"Are you sure?" Derrick asked.　　"I'm not hungry," Gloria said.　　"But I am," Derrick said.　　"Then you should go in yourself. I can go back on my own," she immediately said.　　"Gloria, you have two choices. You may get off yourself and get in to eat with me, or I will carry you off the motorcycle and carry you in to eat," Derrick offered her two options.　　Gloria pulled a long face. She didn't want to go inside. She thought, 'Derrick comes here all t

　"Mr. Fisher, I think you shouldn't watch romantic dramas from now on," Gloria could only say euphemistically.　　If it was a few years ago, Gloria would have laughed about it, but she now reminded herself every minute of who Derrick was.　　"That's what you think. I don't think I'm wrong," said Derrick indifferently. He continued, "Fine. I want you to look at me with admiration. Keep in mind that I am your customer. You must satisfy all my requests."　　"I refuse," said Gloria. She felt that her mind was a mess. She had no intention of doing such a silly thing with Derrick.　　"Gloria, have you forgotten that I am your customer? If you don't do as I say, I will talk to Emily," said Derrick.　　"Fine. I will do it. Don't go to Emily," Gloria said hurriedly. She didn't want to receive complaints.　　After Gloria finished speaking, she looked at Derrick. Seeing him looking at her expectantly, she had to pretend that she admired him while cupping her face with h
