บททั้งหมดของ My Mate Spent Honeymoon With Mistress After I Lost Pup: บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

I had a low fever.I spent the entire night shivering in and out of sleep.When I woke, Gavin was outside the door, hauling luggage back and forth."Erin, why do you look so awful?"Mia held a hot water bottle, watching me with concern."Did you get too cold last night? Gavin, please find her some medicine, quickly."Gavin turned at her words."Erin hardly ever gets sick. Her wolf has always been strong. Mia's the one we need to worry about."He pulled open the passenger door."Mia, sit up front. We can't let the old injury act up again."I stood beside the car."Didn't we agree to go to the pass today?""Next time." Gavin helped Mia into the car. "The pack healer said she can't stay this high any longer. We need to get her to a lower altitude now."Mia immediately reached for her seatbelt to unbuckle it."Gavin, don't let me hold Erin back. If she wants to go, you two go ahead. I can manage."Gavin pressed her hand down."Stop moving. Don't you know your own condition? Don't push your

The phone rang almost right away."Erin, you've finally made up your mind?""Do you know how many times you've turned this down? With your experience, you'd go in as the project lead at the International Pack Council's Geneva office. Double the salary, plus a neutral-zone stipend."She paused."But the minimum posting is two years. Are you sure?""I'm sure."Not a trace of hesitation."Does the paperwork spell out the position?""Every detail. International Pack Council, Geneva Neutral Zone Field Office. Project Lead for Cross-Border Territory Agreements.""Good."I hung up and put my clothes in the suitcase.The moment the zipper closed, a lightness I'd never felt before settled over me.Just then, the lock clicked.Leah came running in by herself.She held a roasted lamb chop in her hand, her lips shiny with grease."Mama Erin, I bet you're only grumpy because you're hungry, right? Look, I saved the biggest, tastiest lamb chop for you."She walked up to me and pushed the lamb chop in

Geneva was colder than I'd imagined.My first week on the job, I worked until two in the morning almost every night.Not because I was busy.Because every time I closed my eyes, I saw that bowl of broth.I remembered that night. The pain so bad I rolled off the bed, blood soaking through my nightgown.Gavin drove me to the pack healer, gripping my hand the entire way and telling me over and over that I would be okay.And he had already known.He knew Mia had done it.He chose to keep it from me.For three months, every time I blamed myself.Every time I thought I was the one who hadn't protected the baby.Every time I lay in the dark with a hand over my empty belly, crying until my whole body shook.He saw all of it.And didn't say a single word.In the second week, my lawyer sent a message."Ms. Bennett, Gavin Hayes has refused to sign. His attorney filed a formal response contesting the divorce, and Grey Ridge has refused to submit the mate-bond release to the Elder Council.""File t

After the Grey Ridge work review, I met up with former colleagues for dinner.Someone brought up Gavin."Did you hear? Prosecutors charged Gavin, and a judge ordered him held pending trial.""What about Mia?""Gone. She took the money her brother had moved and fled the country. Every asset in her name has been liquidated or transferred.""So Gavin lost everything?""Worse. He can't even afford private counsel. His house and car are frozen, and Grey Ridge won't cover his legal bills. I heard he called every friend he has. Nobody would help.""Serves him right. Erin treated him so well, and he just had to put his ex-mate on a pedestal.""Exactly. Look at Erin now. She went from project lead in Geneva to an appointment overseeing the entire Eastern District."On the way back to the hotel after dinner, my assistant handed me an envelope."Erin, someone came to the front desk looking for you today. Couldn't find you, so they left this."I opened the envelope.Inside was a handwritten letter

In autumn, Mrs. Hayes's condition deteriorated.The doctor said three months, at most.I brought Leah to stay at my place for the time being.She'd matured so much more than a year before.No crying, no fussing.Every day she carried her backpack to school on her own and came home to do her homework by herself.Only occasionally would she jolt awake from a nightmare, calling for her mother.One afternoon in late October, my assistant pushed open the door."Erin, Mrs. Hayes passed away."I stood up, grabbed my coat, and headed out.By the time I reached the hospital, her body had already been covered with a white sheet.Leah sat on the bench outside the room.She hugged her knees without making a sound.I walked over and sat beside her.She leaned into me, burying her face in my arm.She didn't cry out loud.But her whole body was shaking.I held her and patted her back gently."Leah, Grandma isn't in pain anymore."She asked, her voice muffled."Mama Erin, is it just going to be me fro
