The Despised Luna's Comeback
Rosaline's POV: Caden really does understand me. I nodded and dialed Grandpa's number. "Grandpa, it's me. It should be noon over there now, right?" I asked with a smile. Hearing my voice, Grandpa was very happy. "Yes, it's noon. I just got back from going out. I'll probably stay here in Dumeirah for a few more days." Knowing Grandpa was having fun, I felt relieved. "Grandpa, Caden and I have set our engagement ceremony for next weekend. When will you be back?" I brought up the main topic. On the most important day of my life, the former Alpha of the Shadow Pack must be present. Grandpa said happily, "I'll return to Rivemon in a few days. How could I miss my granddaughter's engagement ceremony? I've prepared a gift for you and Caden. You two will definitely like it ... " "Really?" My heart warmed at his words. Since I was little, Grandpa had spoiled me endlessly, as if he wanted to pluck the stars from the sky for me. As for the gift, I didn't really care. As long as I could see Grandpa and receive his blessing, I'd be happy. "It's already late over there, right? Get some rest." Grandpa's kind voice came through the call. "Okay." I nodded. After hanging up, my thoughts wandered. In my memory, it has always been just Grandpa. I've never seen my parents. Grandpa only told me that my parents died in an accident back then. But even if they did, shouldn't I at least have some memory of them? Why don't I remember anything at all? Only occasionally do fragments of memories flash through my mind.I once tried hard to remember what those fragments were. I tried to piece them together, but I could never recall them clearly. And also, who exactly is Sal? What is the relationship between Hughie and Sal? Why does Hughie always avoid the question whenever I mention Sal, as if he's hiding many things from me, not wanting to tell me? Why? I remember Hughie once said that Sal is my aunt. Then where is Sal now? The way Hughie acted, he must have loved Sal deeply. If Sal is still well, why would Hughie live alone in such a remote, icy place like Keardes Hill? Why wouldn't he go look for Sal? Could it be that ... There are many things I don't understand. I've tried everything to investigate, but I couldn't find anything. "Rosaline, what's wrong?" After I finished the call and fell into deep thought, Caden asked with concern. I came back to my senses and looked up, meeting Caden's deep, caring gaze, which warmed my heart. "Nothing. It's already late. Let's get some rest," I said. Just as I finished speaking, Caden suddenly scooped me up. "What are you doing?" I exclaimed as my whole body was lifted into the air. "Didn't you say it's time to rest?" Caden lowered his head and looked at me with a half-smile. He carried me directly into his room and carefully placed me on the king-size bed in the center. "I want to go back to my room," I protested. I'm not sharing a bed with this man. "Don't move." Caden firmly held me down as I tried to get up, wrapping his arms tightly around my waist, restraining me.We were so close, the position extremely intimate, making me hold my breath. "Don't be afraid, I just want to hug you," Caden said in a low, deep voice, as if he knew what I was worried about. "I said I'd respect you." With that promise, I finally felt at ease. The two of us slept in each other's arms, peacefully through the night. The next morning, I woke up early, still worried about the situation with Jasper and Naomi. After breakfast, I headed straight to Starplay Entertainment. On the way, I scrolled through my phone—topics about Jasper were still trending high, filled with negative comments. I rubbed my forehead in frustration. If this kept up, it might affect the release of The Call of the Wild. When I arrived at Starplay Entertainment, I went straight to Jasper's office. "Rosaline." Jasper's eyes lit up when he saw me push the door open. I stepped inside and said calmly, "Jasper, I've thought it over carefully. It's best if you clarify this matter yourself. Otherwise, public opinion will hurt Starplay Entertainment." Jasper's gaze slowly dropped, but he didn't say a word. He just stared at my face, like he was trying to see through me completely. I let out a deep breath, turning my head to the side to calm myself. After a long moment, Jasper finally asked, "Are you really going to get engaged to Caden?" Seriously? With everything going on, he's still thinking about that! Sometimes I really didn't know what to do with Jasper. I had been turning him down from the start. Why was he still so persistent? "Yes, I'm getting engaged to him. Next weekend." Upon hearing this, Jasper lowered his eyes, dimness washing over them. Seeing him like this, I couldn't help but sigh. I tried to gently persuade him. "Jasper, I've told you so many times—I like Caden, and he likes me too. Why keep wasting your time on me? It'd be better to cherish the person right in front of you. Stop thinking about me."
