Emmanuel smiled again. “Of course, you’re someone very important to me.”
“How important?” udette suddenly asked, catching him off guard.
Emmanuel hesitated, momentarily stunned. Before udette regained
consciousness, he could easily speak his mind. But now, he found himself
unsure of what to say.
“Hehe, just kidding. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to,” udette
said with a lighthearted smile. “I know you just became a father; you must
love your missus dearly. So, you should maintain boundaries and keep your
distance from other women.”
If anyone else had said those words, Emmanuel wouldn’t have given it much
thought. But hearing them from udette gave him a strange sense of
mncholy, as if the world had changed overnight.
“You should rest,” Emmanuel said after a moment, unsure of how to engage
with this version of udette. The woman in front of him no longer seemed

like the udette he once knew.
“Goodnight!” udette smiled warmly, her expression soft and endearing. But
once Emmanuel left, her smile gradually faded, and she let out a soft sigh.
“Even if I’ve forgotten my past, you’re still my type. Six feet, strong, gentle yet
tough, powerful, respected by all–what’s not to like about him?
“Sigh, just go to sleep, udette. He’s married with a kid now. Maybe I’ll stop
having silly thoughts after we don’t see each other anymore.”
At that, udettey down, pulling the covers over her head like a child,
trying to push away the lingering feelings.
The next morning, Emmanuel prepared to lead the de Battalion toward
Eldoria.
“Emmanuel, when you find Roselynn, make sure to let me know right away. I’ll
take good care of Caden while you’re gone,” Mackenzie said softly, holding
his hand as they said their goodbyes.

“I will. If anything happens, make sure you tell me right away too,” Emmanuel
responded seriously. With his mother gone, his wife and child were now his
entire world.
“Don’t worry, the Wolf Warrior Unit you left behind isn’t here just for show, and
your wife isn’t helpless either! Once I’ve recovered, I’ll take charge of the
Quillen family again, purge Yeringham and all of Nuthana of any remaining
threats and turn the Quillen family into an unbreakable fortress!” Mackenzie
dered with her usual confidence and authority.
Emmanuel smiled, knowing his wife’s capabilities. Plus, with Rhett ensuring
her safety, he feltfortable leaving for a while.
Meanwhile, deep within the forests of Eldoria, Ashton led the way while
Roselynn helped Julian, whogged behind.
“I can’t go on anymore!” Julian said, panting, but still took the opportunity to
snap a photo. The scenery was beautiful, and with his fiancee nearby, he
couldn’t resist.

“You’re so weak! And you call yourself a man?” Roselynn teased, realizing why N?velDrama.Org holds ? this.
Julian hadn’t been able to win a fight even against Jaxton.
“Hehe, sorry! I’ll hit the gym when we get back,” Julian said, chuckling
awkwardly. Losing to his police officer sister was one thing, but being outdone
by his civilian fiancee? That was embarrassing.
“Let’s rest for a bit,” Ashton said, ncing around the area before throwing
her brother a look of disapproval. “It’s pretty embarrassing for a man to be
outdone by women.”
Julian grinned, unfazed by the criticism. “But Roselynn is Emmanuel’s sister.
It’s normal for me to lose to her, and I heard she’s beaten him 17 times
without losing once! Could you do that?”
“You!” Ashton huffed, clearly annoyed. “You’re good at nothing but arguing!”
“At least it’s better than beingpletely useless. And I can take photos,
can’t I?” Julian grinned as he snapped a shot of his sister’s irritated
expression. But after the click, his face turned serious as he stared ahead.

“What’s wrong?” Roselynn noticed the sudden change in his demeanor.
“I think I just caught a shadow of someone in my photo,” Julian said with a
frown, quickly checking his camera.
Though no person appeared in the photo, the movement of the tree
branches suggested that something–or someone–had indeed been there.
The three of them had ventured into the Ancient Woods of Eldoria to escape
being hunted…
