Chapter 128: On His Behalf

Meredith.

"You look very beautiful, my lady," Deidra commented with a big smile on her lips.

I narrowed my gaze. "You mean I wasn’t beautiful, that I was ugly with the scar?"

"I—I... I..." Panic flashed across her eyes. "Now, my lady. That’s not what I meant."

The others held their breath. But then, a hearty laughter tore through my lips.

"Hahaha..." I laughed. "I was just joking."

They finally relaxed and joined me in laughing.

"You almost had me, my lady." Deidra patted her chest with a smile, looking like she had just run a marathon.

Kira said to me, "My lady, someone will come and fix the mirrors before you return after breakfast."

I nodded approvingly.

Breakfast was substantial, consisting of chicken wraps, coleslaw, sausage rolls, and tropical fruit juice.

All eyes had been on me the moment I walked into the dining hall.

Knowing I didn’t have a wolf, it was a shock to them that my scar was completely gone. It felt like magic to them.

Wanda kept glaring daggers at me, her gaze following me until I settled in my seat.

She was either still mad at me for last night or curious about my fast healing, as she hadn’t seen much of it in the dim hallway last night—or both.

Draven was the only one who didn’t give me any reaction when he finally arrived to join us at the table. I bet he saw and knew about my healing and hadn’t said anything about it.

As I bit into my chicken wrap, I caught Wanda’s gaze moving between me and Draven. Then it stayed on Draven a little longer before it returned to the food before her.

I bet she was dying to know more about our relationship.

Right there, I imagined a scene of breaking the news to Wanda about sleeping with Drave and saw her go crazy, breaking things, and even grabbing me by my neck.

I laughed, only to realize that I had done it in reality because now, every eye was on me.

Draven was the first to finish his breakfast. He had cleared his plate. After all, he had worked hard last night.

As soon as he got to his feet, Wanda asked him, "Are you going to the training grounds?"

"I’m going to see Xamira," he replied.

Instantly, I got interested.

"Can I..."

Draven cut me off before I could finish my request, like he already knew what I was going to ask for.

"No, you can’t."

My face fell.

He walked away, like we hadn’t been with each other from the middle of the night until early this morning.

As I withdrew my gaze, I caught the smirk rising on Wanda’s face and rolled my eyes at her.

It’s been so long since I saw that little girl.

I never knew that Draven actually meant that punishment. And then I realized that it wasn’t good to cross him because he could be petty and cruel to anybody. Even children weren’t exempt.

As soon as it clocked 4 in the evening, I changed into another outfit Kira laid out for me. It was a fitted jean trousers and dirty-green top.

I felt weird inside them as I stared at myself in the mirror.

Deidra had convinced me to get clothes like this back then, when we went to Duskmoor shopping mall. It was my first time in an outfit like this.

Azul saw the way I watched myself in the mirror and convinced me that there was nothing wrong with my looks.

"Are you sure?" I asked for the second time. She nodded.

Then my gaze moved to Kira and Deidra, who nodded in approval.

I knew they just wanted me to try something different and shift away from my comfort zone. But I also knew they wouldn’t deceive me.

I left for my driving lessons after Azul put my hair in a braided ponytail.

Dennis was already waiting at our usual meeting point. I asked Deidra to return to the house once I saw Dennis.

There was a big smile on his lips as I approached him.

"Well, well, well." He leaned away from his car. "Who am I seeing?"

"I can go back inside the house to change out of these clothes if I look horrible in them," I said, stopping in front of my as his gaze ogled me.

Dennis ignored my remark and asked instead, "Has my brother seen you in these hot jeans?"

He looked completely astonished as he shifted his gaze back to my face.

I shook my head even though I didn’t consider the jeans hot.

"Then, he is missing a lot," he finished and then went ahead to compliment me.

He said I looked better in casual fits like this than in those dresses that made me look like a royal from the medieval era.

I didn’t know whether to take that as a compliment or not, so I kept quiet.

"I have a gift for you," Dennis suddenly announced and then turned his back on me.

"A gift?" I repeated, surprise flashing across my eyes as I stepped closer, curious as to what it was.

Dennis opened the passenger door of his car and brought out a small fancy bag. Then he took out a small rectangular box from it and passed it to me.

I took it, raising a curious brow.

Then, my eyes fell on the drawing and the obvious writing on the box and realized what his gift was.

My curiosity turned to shock as I moved my gaze back to his face.

"Y—you got me a phone?" My lips quivered.

"Yes," he replied, enjoying the look of obvious surprise on my face.

"I’ve always wanted one of these," I said, looking at the item in my hands. I didn’t even know what to feel. "How... why did you get it?"

Dennis shrugged. "Yesterday, you said you wanted to contact me but didn’t have a phone to do it, so I decided to get you one."

My eyes turned teary, but he continued.

"I think my brother forgot to get you one since he hasn’t tried to reach you while away and realized it’s impossible. So, I’m doing this on his behalf."
