Liam sighed.“The young master is just…reserved, especially in matters of the heart.” My wolf doubted,“IS THAT SO? WHAT ABOUT ANNA?” Right, Anna, with her love–hate relationship and tumultuous past with him? Although Xander himself said he doesn’t like females (and possibly likes males), I don’t believe nothing happened between them. Anna wouldn’t act that way. The most likely scenario is that they were in love, but due to some unspeakable reason, Xander unilaterally ended things, while Anna was still deeply in love with him. Of course, perhaps Xander still cares deep down, but he likes to torment her, watching her suffer before he’s satisfied…
safe I silently mused in my heart, refraining from saying anything aloud, and
gave a answer.“Don’t worry. bonding is destined. Maybe the next eligible lady he meets will capture his heart at first sight, will be his destined mate.”
“I’ll take your word for it.”
As soon as I finished speaking, a low, clear voice came from the doorway.
I jumped, turning around to see Xander standing at the kitchen entrance. My wolf’s tone was tinged with guilt, “OH MY GOD, HOW LONG HAD HE BEEN THERE? WHEN DID HE ARRIVE? FROM WHERE DID HE START LISTENING? AND THE MOST IMPORTANT ONE, WHY DIDN’T I SENSE ANYTHING?!” My wolf kept asking, while I didn’t know
the answers.
Liam also didn’t dare look at him. He rarely gossiped; this rare occurrence was caught red–handed. The two people who had been whispering about their boss were now terribly embarrassed.

Xander’s gaze swept over us coldly.“Stop cooking. Get a stool and buy some sunflower seeds. Let’s go sit and chat by the complex entrance.”
I was speechless. So was Liam. He understood the sarcasm.
Xander turned away and left the kitchen.
I thought for a moment and followed him, all the way to the study. He went inside, then came out a moment later with a few items in his hand. He walked directly toward the entrance, with no intention of staying… He clearly only came to get something from the study.
As he was about to leave the foyer, I opened my mouth, intending to apologize. But I was

I was speechless.
Xander left without looking back.
I deflated. Was he really this petty? I mentally replayed every word I had said, all polite and well–meaning.

Liam came out.“It’s okay. The young master isn’t that petty. He’ll forget about it tomorrow. Come and eat.”
I wasn’t as optimistic as him. But there was nothing I could do.
I found that offending him was as easy as breathing… slightly caseless and I offended him.
I had little appetite for dinner. Midway through, my phone rang. This call was unexpected–it was my father–in–law.
I could hang up on Vera’s calls and infinitely block Jason’s. But Henry’s…
Perhaps it was because his attitude towards me had always been relatively kind and appropriate for an elder. And because he was the former Head Warrior of the Pack and the chairman of Horizon Group, I still had some respect for him.
After hesitating for a few seconds, I put down my chopsticks and answered.“Hello, Chairman.” Previously, whether I was outside or at the Winter family home, I always addressed him this way–respectful yet distant. I wasn’t going to debase myself by calling him “Dad“.
“Sophia, you and Jason still need to sit down and talk things out calmly. Avoiding each other isn’t a solution. Come home tomorrow night,” Henry said, his tone amiable yet firm.
