Guilty
Verlice’s brows arched. “She told you about that?”
I smiled and wrapped my hands around his arm. “Yes, and she still felt guilty and sorry about it. But it’s all because of the issue with Eden, she didn’t want to disappoint you. You don’t have to see Tiara as a bad person. I think Tiara is trying to improve and that’s the most important thing. If we give Tiara a chance, she would be useful to you. Tiara has worked with you in the past. She can help take over one of the pack’s burdens. It is also going to help soften the burden on your shoulder. I am thinking about it all for you, Verlice.”
Verlice sighed and rubbed my head. “You don’t always have to be this soft-hearted, or think about it for me, Elsher. You have to care about your heart first.”
I smiled and nodded, “Okay? Okay, yes, I will listen to you. But you will let her in tonight, won’t you?”
Verlice chuckled and poked my forehead. “You have already let her in. What more did I want to say?”
I smiled and with that, we walked into the mansion. “I am so happy that we settled our differences.”
Verlice’s eyes softened. “You are always happy about this, Elsher.”
“Of course, seeing the way Eden and Tiara’s issue went on made me realize how lucky I was not to lose you. You are more of everything than I would ever want.”
Verlice suddenly stopped in his track and grabbed my shoulder. He looked at me with a serious expression. “Elsher, you are more than what I have ever dreamed of. Even though it had just been a few days, you have already turned my life upside down in a good way. I never regretted the day I set my eyes on you, nor did I regret all that had happened to us. The only thing I ever regretted was not knowing you earlier, and causing you pain.”
My heart skipped a beat and lit up with joy. Verlice and I stepped into the mansion.
Tiara was already waiting in the living room when we arrived. She was currently in a tank top and shorts.
Tiara bowed to Verlice and I while looking pitiful and innocent. “I am so sorry for intruding tonight. I promise that I will leave tomorrow. Thank you for having me.”
Verlice’s eyes were calm and indifferent. He did not even take a glance at Elsher.
I pulled Verlice’s hand. At least he had to acknowledge Tiara’s presence. Tiara has just gone through a lot, and someone like him who is close to her would help put her in a state of calm.
Verlice looked at me with disgruntlement, but he nodded his head.
Tiara’s eyes lit up and she bowed to Verlice. “Can you thank Elsher for me? Verlice, you have truly found a gem. Elsher is more than I will ever be; she is also considerate and soft. I think it is our Red Moon Pack’s luck to have someone like Elsher in the pack. With Elsher, I know our pack will become happier in the future and our pack will grow rapidly.” She sweetly proclaimed.
Verlice’s eyes softened, he nodded to her while holding my hand. “Good night, Tiara.” With that, Verlice led me into the room.
I grinned at him and flicked my hair cockily. “Did you see; you have such a good wife?”
Verlice’s expression softened and he poked my waist. “Yes, it is my luck to have a woman like you.”

I yawned and stretched my body leisurely. Verlice left the room even before I slept off yesterday, so the room only contains me.
After taking my bath and doing the necessities, I walked out of the room.
A sweating Tiara was in sports pyjamas, and when she saw me, she smiled and waved her hand at me like she had seen a friend. “Elsher, you are awake.” She cheerfully spoke, her tone and face better than last night.
My lips curved up and I walked toward her. “Are you fine? Do you feel better?”
Tiara threw her hand around me, surprising me. “Thank you, Elsher, if not for you, I don’t think I would ever get myself out of this situation. I was so hopeless yesterday.”
I nodded, “Tiara, you should have listened to us. You should know that Verlice would never do anything to hurt you. Verlice had taken all the steps just for you…”
Tiara’s eyes flew wide open and she exclaimed, “What? He took all the steps for me?”
“Yes, Verlice knew Eden doesn’t care for you as you did, so he sent him to prison hoping that the time Eden would spend at the prison would help him learn a lesson and help him learn how valuable you are and how to treat you right.”
Tiara’s eyes pooled with tears and she grabbed my hand. “I thought you all didn’t care about me anymore. I thought I was all alone now and Eden is the only one I have. I thought Verlice is tired of me already. I didn’t know all Verlice was doing were meant to show his care.” She sobbed.
I seriously emitted, “Tiara, you should know, regardless of whether you and Verlice are fighting or not, Verlice would always care about you. You should have trusted him.”
“You’re right, Elsher.” Tiara nodded her head. “I am so sorry. I have to apologize to Verlice right now.”
Before I could process, Tiara had already separated from me and ran into the guest room.
I sighed. Perhaps the both of them need this conversation.
I walked towards the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
However, I was yet to take the first step when the maid stepped forward and bowed to me. “Princess, His Highness had already prepared breakfast for you. He also ordered me to inform you that you can come to find him at the office when you are done.”
A smile subconsciously lit up on my face. It is expected of Verlice. He’s always knowing what steps to take beforehand.
