Ferris spoke those harsh words while leaning down to kiss me, as if he could wait to confine me forever in his arms.
Tell me, what will it take for you to withdraw the lawsuit?”
“What do you want? Just tell me. As long as you withdraw the lawsuit, I’ll give you everything!”
He wasn’t afraid of losing this lawsuit, but rather, he felt he couldn’t afford to lose.
If the council ruled for our divorce, he didn’t know what other reason he could use to forcibly keep me by his side.
“Just tell me, whatever I have, I’ll give it all to you.” He repeated over and over like a madman.
I desperately tried to break free from him, not wanting to be pressed by him bymore until I couldn’t breathe.
Seeing that I wasn’t speaking, he suddenly held me even tighter, trapping me firmly in his arms.
“Did Adrian contact you?” he asked in a low voice.
I raised my hand to block him, my voice low but firm: “I don’t want anything.”
But he didn’t believe it.
He just held me like that, unwilling to let go.
The car stopped by the roadside, with heavy snow falling outside, and silence between heaven and earth.
The sky gradually darkened. At my slightest movement, he would tighten his grip again, as if afraid I would suddenly run away.
I lowered my eyes and asked softly: “Ferris, have you fallen in love with me?”
This wasn’t the first time I’d asked, but this time, I seemed more certain of the answer than ever before.
He froze for a moment, lowering his head to meet my gaze directly, his Adam’s apple moving slightly.
I moved a little closer to him, but smiled gently: “You don’t need to answer me
“I don’t hope for you to love me now. I just hope you can let me go.”
“Let’s get divorced, okay?”
“I’m begging you, please…”
My voice was as light as a whisper, but each word cut like a blade across his heart.
His throat felt like it was stuck with sharp thorns, each breath bringing pain.
“No.”
My eyes dimmed, and I stopped talking.
Looking at me, he suddenly missed the old me very much. If possible, he really wanted to return to the past when I still loved him, when I was willing to smile for him and cry for him.
I leaned against him, and gradually, exhaustion swept through my body. Without realizing it, I fell asleep.
He looked down at my peaceful appearance, and for a moment, he really wanted to take me away from this city directly, away from everything. Perhaps that way, he could keep me by his side forever.

er, his phone suddenly rang,
He looked down and saw a text from Simon:
Alpha Ferris, 1 found Colton. He agreed to take the case and said he’s 100% confident he can win this divorce lawsuit.]
Ferris stared at that sentence for a long time, finally deleting the text.
His hand tightened slightly, and when he held me again, his heart actually felt somewhat more at peace.
I was awakened by a slight vibration.
Opening my eyes, I found myself still in his car.
“Can I go back now?”
He glanced at me, said nothing, just took off his coat to cover me, then started the car and drove back.
I was somewhat surprised, not expecting him to be so compliant suddenly.
He drove me back to Cynthia’s place, watching me get out of the car. His gaze followed me until I walked into the house and disappeared from his sight, only then did he slowly drive away.
But just after leaving, he immediately called Simon.
“Tell Colton–if I lose the case, he won’t need to work in this field anymore.”
As soon as I entered the door, Cynthia looked at me with concern.
“Did you get any useful evidence?”
I briefly explained today’s situation.
After listening, she nodded: “It seems Ferris’s emotions are still unstable. This point can be used.”
As we discussed, we had no idea that Cynthia’s first love would soon arrive at Silver Moon Pack.
The days waiting for the divorce case hearing were the longest. I went to my mother’s grave, swept away the surrounding snow, sat down, and looked at my mother’s portrait.
“Mom, long time no see.”
I took a deep breath, looking toward the distant mountains covered in white snow: “I remember you once told me that if I had anything to say, I should tell you. No matter where you are, you would listen patiently.”
“I came today to tell you that I’m preparing to file for divorce.”
“Honestly, I never thought it would come to this.”
“So much has happened in the years since you’ve been gone…”
I said whatever came to mind, not noticing that someone in a black car not far away was watching me.
He coughed lightly from time to time, his face pale, with needle marks all over one slender hand.
“Sir, we should go.”
“Mm.” He withdrew his gaze and slowly closed his eyes.
That person was Dennis.
