The Despised Luna's Comeback

Chapter 391 Never Disappoint Rosie

Caden's POV: In the car, Grandpa and I were seated in the back. "Grandpa, we're almost home," I said, turning to look at him, lively as ever. He had been unwell lately, and I had spent nights restless, fearing I might lose him. Now, he was better, and the weight in my heart lifted. "We're finally back," Richard observed the familiar sights outside, getting emotional. "This time we owe a lot to Rosie. Without her, I might not have made it back." "Grandpa, don't say that. You've always been blessed. You'll be okay," I reassured him quickly. "So, what were you and Rosie scheming?" he asked, eyeing me. "Were you putting on a show for the reporters?" I smiled and nodded, admitting, "Grandpa, nothing gets past you." The Alpha of the Eclipse Pack stroked his beard, chuckled, and remarked, "I'm still the Alpha here. I've been around longer than you've been walking." He paused then added, "I try not to meddle in young people's affairs. But remember one thing—never disappoint Rosie." "I understand, Grandpa," I promised. Soon after, we arrived at the old mansion, and the driver announced, "Alpha, Mr. Caden, we're here." Leslie was already at the gate with the other werewolves, ready to greet Richard. "Alpha, glad you're out of the hospital," Leslie said with a smile, offering a hand to help him. Richard gave Leslie's shoulder a grateful pat, "You've really stepped up during my illness, Leslie." Leslie quickly responded, "It's the least I could do. Without you, I wouldn't have ... " "Let's not dwell on the past," Grandpa cut him off, looking over at me, "Caden, I know you're busy, you can head back." "I'd rather stay a bit longer, Grandpa," I replied. Since Grandpa got sick, I have been filled with regrets.I was too caught up in work and did not spend enough time with him. Thankfully, Grandpa is better now, and I am determined to make more time for him in the future. Seeing my concern seemed to lift his spirits; he held my hand, smiled, and said, "Of course." Queenie's POV: "Aunt Eleanor, look, it seems like Caden has had a falling out with that woman." I was on my phone and saw the news about Caden going to the hospital to pick up Richard, with Rosaline and Heidi having a confrontation, and eventually, getting driven away by Caden. "Really?" Eleanor looked surprised, "I thought Caden likes that Omega, how did they suddenly fall out?" "It's true!" I handed her the phone excitedly. "Aunt Eleanor, look, today Grandpa was discharged, and Caden drove Rosaline away." Eleanor quickly grabbed the phone and saw the close-up of Rosaline being escorted away by the werewolf guards. "It must be because of Heidi ... that Tessa," Eleanor murmured, squinting. "Aunt Eleanor, now that Caden and Rosaline have fallen out, do you think he'll let us out?" I asked, hopeful. Could this be my chance? I adore him, but he barely notices me. The heir of the Eclipse Pack has always been so aloof towards me. If it were not for that, why would I have risked poisoning Richard to frame Rosaline? Sadly, my plan backfired. Instead of getting rid of Rosaline, Caden locked me up because of it! Eleanor shook her head, looking resigned, "Silly girl, Caden is keeping us here because of Mr. Crawford." "What should we do now? Maybe we could ask Grandpa? Now that he's better, perhaps he'll convince Caden to let us go," I suggested, biting my lip tentatively. Lately, I have been stuck at home and unable to leave, and it is really getting to me.I cannot stand being cooped up like this indefinitely. "Ask him?" Eleanor gave a bitter laugh. "Even if we beg and grovel, he won't free us." "What do we do then?" I asked, feeling desperate. I had assumed Caden was just upset and would eventually release us out of familial obligation, especially since Eleanor is his biological mother. However, as days pass, Caden shows no signs of letting us go. I see no light at the end of this tunnel. "I have a plan," said Eleanor, her expression hardening. "Aunt Eleanor, what can we do?" My eyes brightened with a glimmer of hope. Eleanor patted my shoulder, "Let me think it through." "Please, Aunt Eleanor, hurry and get Caden to let us out," I pleaded, growing more anxious by the minute. "I'll lose my mind if this goes on much longer." "Queenie, don't worry, we'll be out soon," she assured me, her eyes gleaming with resolve.
