The next afternoon, Gloria received a text message. Her friend told her that many strangers were looking for her.
Gloria panicked and said to herself, "Calm down. Take it easy. Patrick won't be able to find her."
Gloria immediately called her friends in Hawaii and asked them not to reveal her whereabouts.
Ellison was still living here, and Gloria could not drive him away.
"Aren't you going to ask who I am?" On a sunny afternoon, Ellison stopped Gloria in the corner, who had been hiding from him. He said with certainty, "You are avoiding me."
Gloria raised her head and said, "I'm not hiding from you. I'm doing this for your own good."
"Actually, you're doing this for your own good. You're afraid of being in debt of love, and you don't want to owe anyone. Am I right?" Ellison said angrily.
"Is there anything wrong with that?" Gloria glanced at Ellison indifferently. "Is it good for you if I lie to you?"
"I actually hope you can lie to me!" Ellison said angrily, "Do you think you've been living a peaceful life for the past three years? Can't you see that you only have this body left? And you are completely empty inside."
'No! This is not what I want to say!' Ellison thought.
Ellison spoke without thinking. He was clearly calling himself to stop in his heart, but he still couldn't control himself from saying harsh words.
Ellison just wanted to tell Gloria not to lead a lifeless life anymore.
"I'm sorry," Ellison could not help but apologize. He saw sorrow in Gloria's eyes.
"Ellison, it's none of your business." After Gloria finished speaking, she walked past Ellison and walked forward.
Ellison covered his face with his hands. "Damn it!" Ellison thought, 'I shouldn't have said that to her.'
Meanwhile, Stewart and Patrick were together, and Tammy and Derrick stayed in the opposite hotel.
"The other side must have noticed us looking for someone so wantonly." Stewart frowned.
Patrick smoked and said indifferently, "So what?"
Just as they were talking, someone knocked on the door.
"I'll go answer the door." Stewart turned around and opened the door.
Derrick walked in front of Patrick and said, "If you still care about Gloria, then leave her alone."
Patrick, sitting there, looked up at Derrick.
"Gloria is the mate chosen by the Moon Goddess for me. It's our own business and it has nothing to do with you." Patrick pressed the cigarette butt on Derrick's shoulder and twirled it. Then Patrick went on, "Stop messing up, or you'll be in trouble."
Derrick didn't dodge. Then he threw his jacket into the trash can in front of Patrick.
"Well. Let's wait and see." With that, Derrick walked out.
Patrick stood where he was and watched Derrick leave.
"Let's go to Waikiki Beach in the afternoon." Patrick said, "I must find Gloria. I'm sure she is there."
In Hawaii, Patrick was looking for someone, and so was Derrick.
Just when both sides were at loss, Stewart received a call.
"I just remembered that I saw a couple complain about a hotel at Waikiki Beach on Facebook. I saw Gloria in the photo they sent online," Brad said with a trembling voice.
"What's the name of the hotel?" Patrick snatched the phone over and asked.
After getting Brad's answer, Patrick quickly hung up.
"I have a feeling that it's Gloria." Patrick stood up, and Stewart hurriedly followed him out.
Patrick seemed calm along the way, but telling from his clenched fists, he was actually very nervous.
"Alpha Patrick, we're about to arrive." Hank, who was driving in front, reported to Patrick who was sitting in the back seat.
Patrick nodded, but everyone in the car suddenly became silent. Nothing could be heard except for the sound of the car driving on the road.
In the house, Gloria was lying on the reclining chair as usual, but she kept turning over irritably.
"Kate, bring me another blanket." With the wind blowing, Gloria felt a little cold.
A few seconds later, Gloria felt the warmth from someone.
Gloria's body stiffened, and a familiar and long-lost smell lingered in her nose.
Her eyelashes fluttered quickly, and she bit her lip tightly.
Patrick lowered his head and kissed Gloria's lips.
This kiss made up for the emptiness in his heart.
"Finally, I found you," Patrick sighed and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
A familiar fear filled Gloria's heart.
Patrick, who was behind Gloria, sensed she was trembling. His eyes were filled with pity.
The crisp sound of a slap rang out in the wind.
Hank quickly raised his head and looked over. Then he tensed up.
Hank looked at Patrick, who was standing under the eave, and noticed that Patrick had lowered his head and his face had been slapped to the side. This was a hard slap.
Hank was stunned. He could not help but say, "Alpha Patrick."
Patrick waved his hand and stopped Hank.
Patrick raised his head and noticed that Gloria had already stood up. She looked at him nervously, her eyes full of fear.
Patrick wanted to go forward and hug her, but Gloria's expression changed and she shouted, "Don't come over!"
"Gloria," Patrick called out softly.
"I told you not to come over!" Gloria screamed.
"Gloria, don't be afraid." Patrick felt helpless.
"Patrick! Please leave." Gloria said to Patrick in despair, "Why did you come here?"
"Gloria, I'm here to take you home. Come home with me." Patrick took another step forward.
Gloria retreated in panic. She accidentally fell off the steps.
Patrick quickly caught her.
Then, there was another crisp slap.
Patrick looked at the hand that was flung away by Gloria and noticed the back of his hand was red.
"Go away! Leave me alone!" Her mind was all messed up.
"Gloria, calm down," Patrick said, feeling depressed.
"I'm here to take you home," Patrick said.
"No, I'm not going anywhere," Gloria said. Even though she was extremely afraid of Patrick, she forced herself to raise her head and look into his eyes. "Alpha Patrick, I won't go with you. This is my home."
"Gloria, don't be mad at me, OK? Let's go home," Patrick begged.
Gloria could not help but sneer. 'In fact, I can be more rational and calm, just like how I treat Ellison. If I do not love the guy, I can be cold and won't give him a chance at all.'
Gloria was shocked by the thought that suddenly appeared in her mind.
Gloria did not want to admit that. She picked up anything she could reach around her and threw them at Patrick. "Get lost! Patrick! I will not go with you!"
Gloria held back the tears in her eyes. Gloria believed that if a person could live only because of a certain person, it would be pathetic.
This was why Gloria hated herself so much.
'It has been three years. And I think I am at peace now. But why would I feel heartache again at the sight of him?
Can it be that I only live my whole life only for Patrick?
How ironic it is!'
