\n**Chapter 296: I Don\u2019t Know**<\/p>\n
**Deanna\u2019s POV:**<\/p>\n
The afternoon sun streamed through the office windows, casting a warm glow over my cluttered desk. I had returned to my work, my mind still buzzing from the earlier phone call with Violet. She had mentioned she was at a nearby luxury store for a ribbon-cutting ceremony, promising to drop by afterward.<\/p>\n
As the minutes ticked by, I focused on my tasks, my fingers flying over the keyboard as I completed my third file. Just as I was about to dive into the next one, the door swung open, and in walked Violet, a radiant smile on her face, two steaming cups of milk tea in hand.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is my first time visiting since your promotion to general manager,\u201d she announced, her eyes sparkling with mischief.<\/p>\n
I pushed myself up from my chair and made my way over to the inviting sofa. \u201cHow\u2019s the office treating you?\u201d I asked, genuinely curious.<\/p>\n
Violet scanned the room, taking in the decor and the view outside. \u201cIt\u2019s not on a high floor, but the location is fantastic, and the view? Absolutely lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n
A smile crept across my face as I accepted one of the drinks from her. I settled onto the sofa, eager for a moment of camaraderie. I stuck the straw into the cup and took a generous sip. The sweetness flooded my senses, and I couldn\u2019t suppress the smile that spread across my lips.<\/p>\n
Violet\u2019s voice cut through my blissful moment. \u201cJust a reminder, you\u2019re pregnant. Don\u2019t overdo it with the tea.\u201d<\/p>\n
I rolled my eyes playfully. \u201cEver since I found out, my diet has been nothing but healthy. I\u2019m so tired of it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
She laughed, shaking her head. \u201cYour mom is treating you like some kind of national treasure. It\u2019s like she\u2019s on a mission to ensure you\u2019re the healthiest pregnant woman on the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but nod in agreement. Kathryn had transformed every meal into a carefully curated selection, each plate laden with at least three types of werewolf herbs, all for the sake of our little one\u2019s development. Even when I was at the office, she arranged for lunch to be delivered, ensuring I adhered to her strict dietary regime.<\/p>\n
\u201cBy the way,\u201d Violet said, tilting her head slightly, \u201cyou haven\u2019t been on set in a while, have you?\u201d<\/p>\n
I leaned back, feeling a twinge of concern. \u201cNo, I haven\u2019t. Is there anything I can do to help with your projects?\u201d<\/p>\n
Violet shrugged, her demeanor relaxed. \u201cIt\u2019s the life of an actress. I even attended a dinner for some high-ranking werewolves last night.\u201d<\/p>\n
A flicker of worry crossed my mind. \u201cAre you sure you\u2019re managing everything alright?\u201d<\/p>\n
I couldn\u2019t help but scoff at the absurdity. \u201cAre you out of your mind? My face flushed with embarrassment as I playfully smacked her arm. That only happens in the movies! In reality, who can just drop everything? Luis is the Alpha of Mooncrown Pack\u2014he has responsibilities. He can\u2019t just walk away from it all.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOkay, okay, I\u2019ll stop joking,\u201d Violet said, her tone shifting as she became serious. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you what to do when it comes to matters of the heart. But whatever choice you make, I\u2019ll stand by you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Her words struck a chord deep within me, and I felt my eyes welling up with emotion. \u201cDon\u2019t say that. I\u2019m about to cry! You have to take responsibility for this!\u201d<\/p>\n
Violet playfully tapped my forehead, a smirk dancing on her lips. \u201cIf that\u2019s enough to make you cry, it\u2019s no wonder Mr. Eaton can sway you so easily with just a few words.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI am not easily swayed!\u201d I protested, my voice tinged with frustration.<\/p>\n
\u201cJust what?\u201d Violet teased, her eyes twinkling as she glanced at my belly. \u201cBaby, what do you think? Should Mommy give Daddy another chance? Your dad\u2019s a pure-blood Alpha from Mooncrown Pack. He can protect both of us.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cViolet!\u201d I shot her a glare, my annoyance bubbling over. \u201cYou\u2019re impossible!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-2378","chapter","type-chapter","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter\/2378","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/chapter"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/chapter"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/icuow.top\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2378"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
