Iris:
Zoe was looking at me silently, while her mother was signaling to me with her eyes.
"My dear daughter, do not fall for her words," Lady Vivian said, biting her tongue slightly before continuing. "She is a Luna Queen, the wife of an Alpha King."
She lifted her chin.
"That Alpha King is my son. I raised him well. He would give his life for her."
She paused again.
"Your issue is different. Your husband…" she hesitated, then continued, "Your husband is going through many crises right now. He has no job, no stable place to live. Maybe he loves you, but he cannot show it."
I did not know why Lady Vivian was making up stories for herself.
I had never seen Markus express love to Zoe. He only made her work. He treated her like she was nothing.
I had even noticed that in front of Kash, he never spoke to Zoe lovingly. He would barely speak to her at all, just to avoid creating a problem.
