As I descended the stairs, my eyes immediately landed on Alpha Mike seated at the dining table.
He was clad in a perfectly tailored dark gray shirt, the cuffs casually rolled up, revealing his strong and muscular forearms
I pulled out the chair to sit down.
“Uncle, you said you were busy today. You didn’t have to come back specially to cook.”
Alpha Mike’s lips curved upward into a doting smile.
He placed a freshly filled bowl of soup in front of me and said in a gentle tone, “No matter how busy I am, I have to cook for my

precious girl!”
During the meal, I casually looked up and met Alpha Mike’s gaze.
His eyes were fixed intently on me, and his stare seemed to carry a palpable warmth.
I lowered my head and silently picked up some food and put it in my mouth.
Suddenly, Alpha Mike stood up and reached for the condiment plate in front of me.
Our hands accidentally brushed against each other.
I jerked my hand back as if I had been electrocuted, and my heart began to race wildly.
Alpha Mike, however, wore a half – smile and

remained silent.
He walked around behind me and leaned in slightly, his hands braced on the armrests of my chair.
In an instant, the distance between us
closed, and I could even feel his warm breath on my neck. “Darling, do you like the food today?”
I nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Ye… yes. The food tastes great.”
I looked up, and my eyes met Alpha Mike’s.
In that split second, I froze.
It didn’t look like the gaze of an uncle towards his niece.

“It must be because I haven’t seen Uncle foror a long time. How could I think such a thing?? This is clearly just an uncle’s doting on his niece.”
But Alpha Mike didn’t leave immediately.
His fingers gently brushed across my cheek, “What’s wrong? Your face is so red.”
I stammered in response, “N… nothing.”
Then he asked, “How are things going with your boyfriend?”
I fell silent.
I knew Alpha Mike was worried about me.
But I couldn’t utter Alpha Frank’s name, nor could I let him know about those disgraceful past events.

It was all over, and I didn’t want to burden Alpha Mike with my troubles.
So, I fabricated a story on the spot.
“We broke up amicably.”
Alpha Mike didn’t say a word.
“Breaking up might be for the best.“”
Alpha Mike ruffled my hair.
“There, there. You just got back. Uncle just wants you to rest and be in a good mood. After you’ve had enough rest, I’ll take you to climb the snow–capped mountains.”
“Really? Can I go right away?”
Alpha Mike nodded. “Yes, but before that,

there’s one more thing to do.”
I was taken aback. “What thing?”
Alpha Mike looked at me. “You forgot I said I’d introduce you to your fiancé?”
