Chapter 51 Go away! You're not my daddy! I hate you!
Gerald looked a little panicked and signalled to John.
John immediately headed for the door of Gerald's office before it swung open wide. John opened it slightly.
"Yes, Mrs Ross? Can I help you?" John opened the door just a crack and poked his head out.
Jennifer, who was standing in front of the door, could only frown.
"Ah, no. I just want to ask, when will Gerald be back? And why did he leave? I'm sure you know! Don't lie to me!" said Jennifer again.
Gerald, who was hiding behind the door, held his breath for a moment.
"In that case, let's talk outside, Mrs Ross," said John, trying to remain calm as he opened the door just wide enough for himself. Jennifer tried to look inside, but couldn't because John was blocking the view.
John went outside and closed the door again.
"Are you alone in there, Mr Martin? I thought I heard voices earlier!" said Jennifer, still curious.
"Ah, that... some of my men were discussing something!" John exclaimed, trying to sound relaxed.
"Oh... I see! So, when will Gerald be home?" Jennifer asked again.
"I don't know yet, Mrs Ross. Yesterday, Mr Williams rushed out of the house because he had some important work to take care of, it seems! He only instructed us to look after you and Alex! Please be patient, Mrs Ross, I'm sure Mr Williams will be back soon! It's better if you rest in your room, Mrs Ross, so you can recover!" John said again.
Jennifer could only take a deep breath. "All right! I just feel that if Gerald isn't here, wouldn't it be better for us to move out of here, Mr Martin? I mean, find an apartment..."
"No! I'm sorry, Mrs Ross, Mr Williams instructed that you must not go anywhere until he returns, so I'm afraid we cannot allow Mrs Ross to leave this house, no matter what the reason! I'm sorry, Mrs Ross, but this is for your own good!" John exclaimed again.
"Our good, you say? Don't you see, yesterday I was almost killed by what was that? A wolf? In this luxurious and spacious flat?" said Jennifer angrily.
John sighed again, "Forgive our negligence, Mrs Ross, but we will make sure it doesn't happen again! It was actually our pet that strayed... that's all I can say!"
"Please tell Mr. Williams to contact me. I have something serious to discuss with him! Besides, why is he keeping us here? After all, as he said, I'm just his employee and Alex isn't his son! So we have no relationship with him, right? So, let us leave here! Please, Mr Martin!" Jennifer exclaimed, a little emotionally.
"I think you misunderstood, Mrs Ross, Mr Williams didn't mean to say that to you. Mr Williams just wants to protect you both from the elders! So they don't bother you, so please don't misunderstand him. Wait until Mr Williams returns, he will explain everything to you later!" John tried to persuade Jennifer again.
"Fine! Just this once, we'll wait for a week, if he doesn't come back, then I'll leave this house whether you like it or not! Please tell him that!" said Jennifer, looking annoyed, and walked away.
Jennifer stopped a few steps later and spoke again without turning back, “And what you said about us being safe here? I don’t think so! Proof of that is that I nearly lost my life yesterday if you hadn’t acted quickly!”
After saying that, Jennifer returned to her room and slammed the door shut.
John took another deep breath and exhaled heavily. Then he remembered something and went back into Alpha Gerald's office.
“Alpha? Did you hear our entire conversation? Please don't take it personally, Mrs Jenny is just upset, I'm sure she'll be fine again, so you…” John tried to explain to Alpha Gerald, who was sitting pensively with a sad expression on his face at his desk.
"No! Jenny is right, Beta John! I almost killed her! I'm evil! I'm a monster!" Alpha Gerald exclaimed with a sad look.
"But... you didn't do it on purpose, Alpha Gerald. I'm sure if you explain it to Mrs. Jenny, she will understand! Please don't be like this, Alpha!" John looked worried about Gerald, who seemed very sad.
"She won't believe me, Beta John! Besides, what can I say? That I'm a werewolf who is also her husband, but I almost killed her? And that it was all an accident? I can't say anything as long as Jenny can't remember who she is! No! That will make her condition worse! So no! I can't do it. According to Doctor Moore's advice, I have to let her slowly remember who she is! But how can I? I've already hurt her!" Alpha Gerald sighed heavily.
"Then what is your plan, Alpha Gerald?" John asked again.
Gerald looked at Beta John, "As I said earlier, I will leave here for a while until Jenny's condition recovers! I will continue to monitor her! This may seem unfair to her, but I beg you to take care of them! And don't let them leave this penthouse for any reason! And please report all activities in this house to me, do you understand, Beta John?" Gerald exclaimed again.
"I understand, Alpha Gerald!" said Beta John, who also looked sad.
‘Poor Alpha Gerald, after meeting his family, he has to part ways again!’
Gerald walked slowly, followed by Beta John, “Please find and buy an apartment below this penthouse! It doesn’t have to be too big, it’s fine!”
“Yes, Alpha Gerald!” Beta John exclaimed.
“I’ll check on Alex’s condition before I leave!”
“Yes, Alpha!”
Gerald walked slowly and entered Alex's room before pausing for a moment to look at the room occupied by Jennifer, 'Wait, Jenny, I will definitely explain it to you when you have recovered! And forgive me!'
Gerald then slowly entered and opened the door to Alex's room, his son's.
"Hi, Alex!" Gerald said with a cheerful face.
“Go away! You’re not my Daddy! I hate you!”
