When the Wolves Attacked My Cousin and Me

It was Jennifer who did that. I was not surprised to hear that it was him. And it's not surprising that she could attract Michael's attention and protection several times in just one month. She must be someone extraordinary.

I'm just curious, why me? Just because of Michael?

I laughed and said nothing, comforted Joseline Nelson, and went back home without waiting for Jennifer to ride in the carriage with me.

I believe she wouldn't come back on her own.

I came back and took a bath before Jennifer stepped into the Hawk’s House late in the evening. Sure enough, it was Michael who brought her back, as I expected

I didn't bother with these two people and went back to my boudoir. It's almost time for the autumn hunt, so I needed to prepare.

Early the next morning, Michael came without an invitation.

I allowed him to come in, just to assess whether this marriage contract still needed to continue.

"Yvonne, you've gone too far. Yesterday, Jennifer was worried about you. It's ok when you humiliated her in public, but why didn't you wait for her when you returned home?"

Very well, he came up and started questioning and accusing me. In this way, our childhood friendship of more than ten years has truly been in vain.

"I've gone too far? I humiliated her in public? Do you know who helped her when everyone made fun of her at the Chrysanthemum Banquet? Did you care where I was when there was fire? Without me, would she be unable to return to the mansion?"

"Yes, I admit that you helped her, but why didn't you respond when she cared about you? What if a woman encounters danger on the road without me accompanying her back to the mansion?"

"But why do you know that I was trapped in a big fire yesterday?" I looked calmly at Michael.

Michael was shocked: "You?! Isn’t..."

"You see, Michael, our years of friendship can't compare to the fact that you've only known her for a month and yet you know everything about her. But what about me, your fiancée? You can leave, let's find a time to cancel the engagement, and I won't bother you two."

"Jennifer, you're angry now, so I won't argue with you. I won't cancel this engagement either. I wonder why do you always have to oppose Jennifer?" Michael frowned.

"You should ask her that." I dismissed him and didn't plan to see him for the next few days. I needed to prepare for the autumn hunt.

Every day after that, Michael would come to my courtyard in the name of visiting me and then go to Jennifer's courtyard to enjoy.

The servants in the mansion reported to me, but I just smiled and let them be.

My parents were furious and wanted to drive Jennifer away. I stopped them. Because she would surely leave one day, but she couldn't tarnish the reputation of my Hawk family.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the autumn hunt. Everyone participating in the hunt wore equestrian shooting attire, looking heroic.

The shooting range for women was in the Purple Bamboo Forest, where there were mostly gentle creatures like rabbits and foxes. Men could go to the Black Bamboo Forest, where there were many ferocious beasts.

"Yvonne, I'll hunt a fox for you and make a cloak, okay?" Michael rode towards me on a horse.

"No, thank you, I'll hunt it myself." I took a few steps back and said calmly.

"It's been so many days, are you still angry with me?"

I remained silent and rode into the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Michael glanced at my back and rode towards the Black Bamboo Forest.

Out of sight, out of mind. After entering the woods, I automatically distanced myself from Jennifer.

Unexpectedly, when I was chasing after a fox, I ran into her again.

I felt so unlucky.

"Hello, Yvonne, what a coincidence! Are you also interested in this fox? I'll give it to you!" She put on a weak appearance.

I really couldn't stand it anymore. Why is she everywhere?

"No thank you, let's rely on our own abilities."

I pulled the bow and was about to shoot when a pair of green eyes appeared. The forest was dense and the light was dim. Before I could see clearly, Jennifer ran towards me and said, "Yvonne, run! It's a wolf!'

What! Wolves are only in the Black Bamboo Forest. How could there be wolves in the Purple Bamboo Forest?"

I realized that Jennifer was at the boundary between the two bamboo forests.

I was about to run on my horse, but I was forcefully pulled down. The horse got scared and ran away. I turned around and it was Jennifer.

I caught a glimpse of her smug smile and understood everything that it was her doing again.

The wolf pack was getting closer.
