The maid quickly nodded.

“Yes, ma’am.”
Jenifer’s expression had softened a lot. Obviously, she was in a good mood.
Caleb and I both breathed a sigh of relief.

It seemed that the problem was solved. Who would’ve thought that our five-year-old daughter would help us out of this tough situation?
“Ahem!”
Suddenly, Jenifer cleared her throat.
I was so startled that I lost my balance and almost fell down to the floor. Luckily, Caleb caught me in time.
He immediately pulled me back into the corner. We exchanged amused glances and tried to hold back our laughter.
“Elena’s going to sleep in my room tonight
Jenifer’s authoritative voice sounded again
She seemed to raise her voice intentionally, as though to address everyone in the house. “ALL of you can leave. Don’t idle in front of my door, or else I’ll get angry.”

was almost too much for me to handle.
I coughed and tried to calm down before saying flatly, “You don’t need to worry about me. Our marriage is just contractual, and I’d never let anyone make things difficult for me.”
After a slight pause, I added grimly, “And I’m keenly aware that besides the Barton family, there are others that are unwilling to accept me as the future Luna. Your mother risked losing face, yet she still defended me. That’s good enough for me.”
Caleb sighed. “I just don’t want you to get hurt, okay? I want to protect you.”
I fell silent.
He might’ve been sincere now, but that still didn’t change my mind about eventually leaving the Thorn Edge Pack
