64 The Blind Date
Aldrich’s POV:
I felt unprecedented happiness. This happiness was brought to by Selma.
When I was still a high school student, I had once scoffed at the concept of ‘love’ and treated the love drama girls were talking about as trash. Such soft and disheartening emotions would only beco a burden to the soldiers.
However, when I got to my age, though young and still rebellious, I tasted how easy it was for a person to willingly fall into depravity like a tiny electric current running through my heart.
I couldn’t help but fantasize about everything I had with Selma. Her smile, anger, and anything related to the word ‘Selma’ fascinated .
I’d thought about the gift of the moonlight since it snowed the first day.
Perfus or costics were too plain, the beautiful dresses were a bit superficial, and the gorgeous jewelry was very vulgar. I thought hard, but I was not satisfied with any of them.
The moon that had fallen to the mortal world, what exactly was worthy of its pure moonlight?
One day, I was flying to Australia for a mission where an old friend was. He graciously invited to visit his mine. There, I personally excavated a dazzling black opal.
Almost in an instant, I thought of Selma’s eyes.
Her eyes were as mysterious as the night, and every bit of starlight that flickered in them could easily tug at my heartstrings.
Her moves, frowns, and smiles filled her eyes with more moving emotions than fireworks.
This black opal was like a treasure the Moon Goddess had given . It dispelled the fog and comforted my lover’s heart.
After returning to the pack, I personally polished and embedded this raw stone into a necklace, making it into a pendant. Then, I secretly lengthened the silver chain so the pendant could hang over Selma’s chest.
My moon liked this gem very much. Her features were even more moving than the gem.
My heart felt like it was soaking in 38°C honey water, gradually lting.
I felt like I was walking on cotton when I returned to the camp. My expression must be very strange because I was smiling like a child who’d received a large pile of soft candy during the Moonlight Festival.
The next day, I received a call from my father. He wanted to go ho and discuss so things.
My first thought was that King and my father had discussed the matter of the southern Duke and his daughter. Did my father have a mission for ?
“But on second thought, Selma said that this had to be kept a secret. Of course, she wouldn’t have told if it wasn’t for the Moonlight Festival incident.
“Good evening, Son.” My father was reading a travel book leisurely. Then, he looked up at and asked, ‘”How was the Moonlight Festival? Did you et the girl you like?”
“About that, I don’t think the Moon Goddess rembers about my marriage.”
I said calmly, praying in my heart that the Moon Goddess would forgive for lying.
I thought my father was just casually concerned, but he sat up straight seriously and motioned for to sit down.
Wow, this was not good.
“I know you young people are not like us old bones back in the day, where we value our feelings more than fate.” My father said that so kindly that I felt a little creeped out. “Feelings have to be developed. If you stay in the military camp daily, you won’t have ti to fall in love.”
“That’s true, but I’m not in a hurry to find my true love,” I replied uneasily.
No, that was a lie. I couldn’t wait to marry Selma, if possible, tomorrow.
My father said, “Of course not. You’re still young and have a lot of ti, but this doesn’t stop you from looking for potential partners, right?”
The ominous premonition grew stronger, and I didn’t want to continue this topic. “In fact, I’d rather start a career before starting a family. You know, Father, I’m a soldier and spend most of my ti in the camp. Half of the ti I have left is spent on missions, so I can’t accompany my girlfriend like other boys. No girl can stand this.”
“I understand, I understand.” My father didn’t seem like he was going to give up. “But friends don’t have to stick together all the ti. Friendship can also be the foundation of love. You can find a girl with the sa goal and develop a strong friendship first.”
I vaguely felt that there was a hidden aning in my father’s words. “What are you trying to say?”
My father smiled and passed the phone to .
A picture of the southern Duke’s daughter, Carolyn, was on the screen.
“This is... ?” I raised my head in disbelief. “So you called back just to have go on a blind date?”
“I’m just introducing you to a friend.” My father shook his head in disagreent.
I didn’t believe his excuses!
“However, Carolyn is only sixteen years old, so this is illegal! Besides, I’m not even close to her, so it’s impossible that sothing would develop between us.”
“The law doesn’t say you can’t get engaged at sixteen, right?”
My father took the phone back and said, “Yesterday, you t Lennon and Carolyn. They both like you. Lennon’s objective for coming to the Lycan Pack is to help his daughter find a suitable fiancé.”
“This is impossible.” I shook my head firmly. “I will never date a high school girl. I don’t want to be in the news for molesting an underage girl.”
Besides, there was already a bright moon in my heart, so how could I let others disrupt the pure moonlight?
