Derek's POV
The Greenwood Group staged a remarkable comeback, with its stock price skyrocketing overnight and its various industries booming.
Customers would wait at the entrance of the chain supermarket even before dawn. Jewelry stores, clothing stores, even real estate and online shopping, in the past, only had tens of thousands of traffic. Today, online customer service received nothing but demands to put products on the shelves.
The main focus was on a kind of crazy shopping.
Those malicious netizens who attacked us before realized that they had caused such harm to the two of us, that Tabitha was almost disfigured, and that the Greenwood Group was almost bankrupted. Thus, they, along with others spontaneously went to all places related to Greenwood Group to consume.
From childhood to adulthood, the one thing I never lacked was money. The Black Thorn Pack was very wealthy, to the extent that I couldn't even fathom.
Only I knew that the wealth accumulated by generations of the Black Thorn Pack was unmatched by a hundred Greenwood groups combined.
The assets of the Black Thorn Pack involved various industries around the world, both overtly and covertly, with secrets known only to the Alpha of the Black Thorn Pack.
So, on that day, how many billions of dollars the stock price evaporated, and how much money was lost due to the destruction of the shopping mall were never of my concern.
I didn't care about losing money, let alone making money now.
I just glanced at my phone and tossed it aside. All I wanted was to keep Tabitha on my watch.
All the wealth in the world combined was not worth a Tabitha.
My wolf, Leo, also acknowledged my thoughts in his consciousness. It seemed that he also sensed my deep affection for Tabitha.
Perhaps my gaze was too intense. Tabitha slowly woke up from her slumber.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I met hers. "Good morning, Tabitha."
I found her bewildered look very adorable, and I lowered my head to kiss her lips.
Tabitha's POV
I instinctively reached out and wrapped my arms around his neck, deepening the kiss.
After hearing about his past, I felt a sense of inexplicable pity for him.
Although John was not my biological father, I knew from Derek's words that the man loved me very much and gave me a happy childhood.
Unlike Derek, who never knew how it felt like to be loved by parents. For him, I was his only family.
So I didn't push away Derek and deepened this kiss.
Derek let go before losing control. Actually, it had been several months since I gave birth prematurely, so sex was no longer a problem for me.
But he seemed unwilling to take advantage of the situation at this time. He clearly felt that I only had a slight affection for him at most. It was still too far away to talk about love.
"Tabitha, these past few days I might have been a bit busy. I need to handle a lot of businesses in the company. Once I finish them, we can go abroad. What do you think?"
I nodded obediently. "All as you plan."
"The person who wanted to kill you has not been found yet. For your safety, I have arranged a secure place for you to study medicine."
I subconsciously glanced at the back of my hand wrapped in gauze, "I see. Okay."
In short, Derek wouldn't harm me.
My wolf Crystal softly whimpered in my consciousness, as if it had a special longing for Derek.
Crystal could feel a special connection between Derek and me as if we were destined partners.
This feeling made Crystal curious and excited about Derek, and it longed for us to get closer and make this connection even tighter.
Derek got up and went to the bathroom, while I stretched and read the news for a while.
Seeing the news about the Greenwood Group being popular everywhere, I was extremely relaxed. It felt like the weather right now: the sunshine after the rain.
The sun was shining, and the heavy snow had long melted away.
My mood also improved.
With the embrace of a minty fragrance, he held me from behind, and his deep voice whispered in my ear. "What are you thinking about?"
"About my future."
Derek was still wet after the shower, and a few droplets slid down my neck.
He leaned in close to my ear and asked, "Do I exist in your future?"
I could feel Crystal pulsating excitedly in my consciousness as if urging me to give an affirmative answer.
