Betrayed By My Two Possessive Warrior Wolves
Chapter 7
“Mr. Harold, can you take care of the house while I'm gone? I need to visit my grandfather.” I asked my father's colleague whom I had sold the house to, Mr. Baker.
“Yes, don't worry.” Mr. Baker replied as his lips tugged up into a smile.
I felt relieved that I have found a reliable person to entrust the house to.
He has always been there for my father and when my father passed away, he was there for me.
He was just like our Alpha except that Alpha Ryan helped me even more before and after my father passed away.
I nodded at Mr. Baker and turned around to make my way out towards the front door.
As soon as I was out of the house, I walked to the side of the road and raised my hand, making an incoming taxi stop.
I took the taxi to the nursing home where my grandfather lived.
He was the Alpha before my father took over and he ruled the pack fairly.
For the past two years, he has regularly sent me money, taught me how to manage my father's company and guided me in design.
So we were close and I missed him. Besides, I needed to say goodbye to him before I left.
Soon, I arrived at the nursing home and paid the taxi driver before climbing out.
I walked into the nursing home as Quinn murmured in my head, “I miss grandfather too.”
I chuckled in my head and replied, “Well, you'll see him now.”
I walked over to the front desk and glanced at the lady sitting behind it as I said, “I'm here to visit Victor Rowland.”
She glanced at me then nodded as she recognised me and gave me a small smile, “Okay. Go right in, sweetie.
“Sure.” I replied and I turned around to make my way down the long hallway.
It felt familiar as I walked past the ward room doors, looking for room A22 since I usually regularly visited my grandfather in the nursing home.
A22.
My eyes caught the number and I stopped in front of the ward room.
I knocked on the door and I heard a gruff, “Come in.”
I walked in to see my grandfather lying on his bed as he read a book with his glasses on.
When he saw me, he kept the book aside on the bedside table and sat up.
His lips tugged up into a smile as he opened his arms wide and exclaimed, “Ariel!”
“Grandpa!” I exclaimed as I ran over to hug him.
He squeezed me tightly and I hugged him back just as tight.
After a few moments, I pulled back.
“You haven't come to see me in a while, Ariel, and I was starting to get worried.” He murmured as he placed his hand on my shoulder and caressed it.
I smiled at him politely as I replied, “Don't worry, grandpa. I was just so busy that I didn't get to see you.”
“Well, you're here now and that's all that matters now.” He muttered as he smiled back at me.
“Yes, you're right!” I exclaimed excitedly, feeling happy to see him again.
However, sadness tugged at my heart as I remembered how I would be leaving soon.
I felt my heart break as I tried to explain to him, “But the thing is… I wanted to tell you that I'll be leaving this country to go live with my mother.”
His smile dropped and a sad expression showed on his face as he asked, “Why?”
“Mom has been diagnosed with leukemia and she has very little time to live, so she wants me to visit her.
Seeing that Dad's gone and I've given his studio away, I realized that it's better that I move to Germany to live with Mom instead of only visiting her and returning here.” I answered him as I took his hand in mine and gave him a comforting squeeze.
He squeezed my hand back as he smiled at me faintly, “I believe that you've made the right choice.”
“Me too. I've even filled out the pack transfer form after I requested it from Alpha Ryan. I've sent it to my mother's Alpha.” I said as excitement showed in my eyes.
“When will you be leaving?” He asked me, looking curious.
“Today.” I answered him as I gave him a comforting smile.
He looked sad again as tears welled up in his eyes, “I'll miss you, Ariel.”
“I'll miss you too, grandpa! Goodbye.” I said as tears welled up in my eyes too and I hugged him again.
He hugged me back and then I pulled back as he whispered, “Goodbye, Ariel.”
I turned around and he watched me go with tears in his eyes, but then I was stopped when Morgan and Nate walked into the room along with Demi.
When they noticed the redness in my eyes and grandpa's eyes, Nate asked me, “Why were the two of you crying?”
I rubbed my eyes and sniffed as I answered him, “It's just that we were talking about my traveling to London for the jewelry show and started saying our goodbyes.”
I didn't want them to suspect that I was living, that was why I had to lie again even though I hate lying.
My grandfather didn't bother explaining anything to them, so he didn't deny my fake reason.
I felt sadness grip me at seeing Demi with them. I had hoped for a quiet private reunion with my grandfather.
“Ahh, I see. Traveling and leaving family behind can be quite dreadful.” Nate replied to me as his expression softened.
Morgan's expression softened too and he nodded as he added, “Exactly.”
“Yeah, I'm glad you understand.” I replied as I gave them a tight smile.
I turned around to walk out of the room and go home, but Morgan grabbed my arm as he said, “Wait!”
I turned back around and pulled my arm out of his grip as I asked, “What?”
