Her heart had already been carried away by Thomas Shannon the wolf.
Lucifer turned his head away angrily, no longer looking at her.
Sophie Sullivan reached out her hand, wanting to touch Gabby’s head, but Gabby raised her head, staring at her with those big tiger eyes.
It looked like rejection.
"Hey, Gabby, I’m your master." Saying this, she reached out her hand stubbornly wanting to touch.
Gabby swiftly evaded her hand, got up, moved to the side, and lay down to sleep.
Sophie: "..."
Betrayed!
Gabby had betrayed her!
...
Country A.
Their reunion occurred at a banquet two weeks later.
Autumn Johnson’s legs were already almost fully recovered, thanks to the doctor’s excellent medical skills and her good physical condition, allowing her recovery to exceed the doctor’s expectations.
She could now abandon the crutch and walk gradually on her own.
This night, she attended the banquet on behalf of her father.
At the banquet, she unexpectedly encountered William Guillen.
Since their last parting, he had said he would consider, yet two weeks had passed, and Autumn had not contacted him, nor had he actively reached out to her.
Autumn Johnson had already prepared herself for his rejection, but unexpectedly, upon seeing him at the banquet.
That feeling of reluctance to give up reemerged once again.
Wearing an impeccable three-piece suit, he looked tall and elegant like an orchid tree, gentle and charming like a gentleman.
As expected, there was a slender lotus-like arm holding onto him.
The woman was in a black formal dress, with her long hair pulled up, leaving a curl near her cheeks, adding a playful touch.
Their clothes were perfectly matched in terms of color.
Even the smiles at the corners of their mouths seemed identical.
Jim Jones was also here tonight, as Mrs. Zane had asked him to take care of Autumn Johnson; her legs were just healing, so there were bound to be inconveniences that Jim could help with.
"Fluffy, have some snacks to fill your stomach first." Jim Jones handed over a plate on which delicate dim sum was arranged.
Autumn Johnson retracted her gaze and smiled, nodding, "Okay."
Jim followed the direction of her earlier gaze and, sure enough, saw William Guillen; wherever William was, Autumn seemed always able to see him instantly.
Perhaps this was a special skill she had gained over the past eight years.
Where William Guillen was, became the entire focus of her sight.
"Fluffy, let’s sit over there on the sofa." Jim supported her and wanted to lead her away.
A male voice sounded behind them——
"Fluffy."
Autumn Johnson stiffened. She slowly turned around, forcing a smile more difficult than crying, "What a coincidence."
William Guillen hooked a smile, his gaze brushing over Jim Jones’ face with its official look. Smiling, he said to Autumn Johnson: "Leaving without saying hello when you see me?"
"No... Saying hello later is the same, isn’t it?"
William looked at his female companion beside him and softly said, "Go find something to eat yourself, I’ll join you in a while."
"Okay, Young Master Guillen." The woman smiled sweetly, not clingy at all, instead obediently agreeing.
Autumn Johnson once again felt that suffocating sensation in her heart, as if even the oxygen in the air had thinned.
"Young Master Guillen, I don’t know what you need to talk about with Fluffy. If there’s nothing much, we’ll leave first." Jim Jones took on a protective stance, standing by Autumn Johnson’s side.
