Monica POV:

He held me in his arms again, but I still couldn’t accept it.

“No, even if I’m your destined mate, you don’t like me. You like Isabella, don’t you?” Thinking of their close relationship all the time, I tried to refute him, “You dance with him and take her everywhere. How could you...”

“No!” Norman interrupted me loudly and gazed at me carefully. “Of course, I like you. You pushed me to Isabella every time!”

Norman’s hurt showed in his eyes. “Or do you hate me all the time?”

“No! That’s impossible!” I could not lie to hurt Norman.

However, as soon as I gave in, Norman immediately asked, “Since you don’t hate me, why did you push me to Isabella? Do you know I am eager to be with you, but you always hurt me! I like you very much!”

Is that real?

Am I dreaming?

Did Norman just say he liked me and want to be with me?

Why should I be sad because of him in the past? I’m so stupid!

I couldn’t help looking back at Martin behind me. He looked into my blank eyes and smiled, as if to say, “See. I’m not lying.”

I never thought it would happen one day. What should I do now?

“Norman,” I winced, “Isabella will be hurt. I can’t accept you. Can you pretend not to smell my scent? She loves you very much. She can’t live without you.”

“I can’t live without you!” Norman grabbed my hand and didn’t give me a chance to retreat. “I love you. If I married Isabella, it would hurt three people. We can’t go against the fate that Moon Goddess gave us. You are my destined mate. We must be together!”

Norman showed a heartbroken look.

“If you don’t accept me, I won’t marry Isabella.” He seemed to have made up his mind, “Don’t you like me? Moni, I know you like me too, right? Why do you push me away? Then all three of us will get hurt!”

When I was at a loss, Norman suddenly knelt on one knee, held my hand, and kissed me gently on the back of my hand.

“Monica, would you like to marry me?”

I stepped back and looked at Martin again.

However, this time he didn’t hint at me but smiled at me.

“Moni, this is your own business. It will decide whether you will be happy for the rest of your life. You can only make your own decisions. Sorry, I can’t help you.”

I looked down at Norman. He showed an extremely sincere look. It seemed that he would kneel on the ground here until I said yes.

There were two Moni in my heart, an angel and a devil.

“Moni, how can you steal your sister’s lover? She must be sad!” The angel Moni said.

The devil Moni retorted, “You are not stealing. You will get what you want. Norman likes you and you deserve it. Isabella always prevents you from getting along with Norman! She is the one who steals your lover!”

The angel and the devil began to fight. I became more and more confused. Therefore I had to close my eyes and escape.

“Monica, even if you don’t say yes, Norman won’t marry Isabella. Why do you hesitate?”

I suddenly opened my eyes and saw Norman’s expectant eyes. I swung.

“If I promise you, can you handle your relationship with Isabella?” I still hesitated. “She is innocent. I don’t want her to be hurt. She is my sister.”

“Yes! Of course!” Norman stood up excitedly and hugged me. “I’ll go and make it clear to Isabella! Wait for my good news!”

After that, he kissed me hard on my face and then ran away like the wind.

When Norman left, my heart still beats fast.

“Congratulations, Moni.” Martin walked behind me, “You finally got what you want. You can be with the man you like.”

I haven’t recovered from it until I heard Martin’s steady voice, so I could confirm that what just happened is true.

“Thank you.” I sniffed and gave a sob.

Martin fondled my hair and suggested me, “Come on, we don’t need to waste our time here. I can drive you home, so you can solve all this with Norman.”

He took me home.

As soon as I got off the car, I felt the atmosphere of growing tension at home. My palms were sweating.

“Don’t be afraid.”

When I stood in front of my house and dared not move forward, Martin beside me shook my hand and smiled at me.

“I will be with you. You don’t need to be afraid.”

I suddenly gained great courage, pushed the door hard, and saw Isabella sitting on the sofa, covering her face and crying.

Hearing the sound of opening the door, she raised her head. Her bright eyes became red. She looked at me fiercely and resentfully.

It seemed that she tried to gnaw at my neck.

Seeing Isabella’s fierce eyes, I retreated with fear. Martin, who was behind me, immediately held me.

“Are you alright?”

I looked up at him. He was calm as if he told me that I didn’t need to be afraid.

“I’m fine.” After I stood up steadily, I walked straight into the hall.

“How dare you go home?” Mother smashed a teacup at my feet. “You stole your sister’s fiancé! How dare you go home?”

The fragments of the teacup almost stabbed my feet. Martin, who stood beside me, quickly dragged me behind him to protect me.

“Aisha, are you crazy?” My father stood up angrily, “Moni is your daughter as well!”

“I don’t have a shameless daughter like her!” Mother slumped down on the sofa, covered her face, and sobbed, “My poor Isa… Her sister stole her fiancé. I wouldn’t allow her to suffer from this!”

Hearing my mother’s words, I was somewhat frustrated.

It’s not the first time that she has been so partial to my sister, but I didn’t expect that she would think I stole my sister’s fiancé. I’m just pursuing my love.

“Mom, I...”

“Don’t call me mom! I said I don’t have a daughter like you. How dare you seduce your brother-in-law? Shame on you!”

“That’s enough!” Martin suddenly shouted, looked at Norman who had been silent, and said, “Is this your so-called solution? They are scolding Monica!”

Norman blushed with shame and slowly got up and said, “Mrs. Green, Moni should not be to blame. She didn’t seduce me. I always like Moni, not Isabella.”

“What did you say?” Isabella looked up at Norman in disbelief, “You don’t like me? Why do you promise to marry me? If you don’t like me all the time, why do you give me the illusion?”

Then Isabella looked at me angrily, “You both have been cheating on me! You treat me as an idiot and a clown!”

She suddenly got up, rushed to me, gritted her teeth, grabbed my collar, and yelled, “Monica, you are jealous of me, so you seduced Norman. You lied to me with him. Do you think it’s a joke? Why did you do that to me? Why?”

I felt suffocated and stammered, “No, I, I didn’t, I...”

I don’t know anything!

Norman was shocked and hurriedly came to pull Isabella’s hand.

“Isabella, let go of Moni! It has nothing to do with her. She knew nothing. I’m so sorry for that!” Norman forcibly pulled Isabella’s hand away and then pressed her shoulder to make her listen to him calmly. “I am the one who hurt you. It’s all my fault. You can hit me and scold me. It has nothing to do with Moni. I smell her scent of a mate. I cannot go against the will of the Moon Goddess and abandon my mate.”

“What shall I do? What shall I do?” Isabella burst into a cry, “You can’t bear to abandon Monica, but you can watch other people laugh at me. All the people in the pack know that I will marry you in a month, but you have abandoned me now. You are so cruel! What have I done, Norman? Why did you abandon me?”

Isabella cried pitifully. Norman frowned and squatted down with her.

“I’m sorry, Isabella, I know I hurt you, but...” Norman looked up at me, “I don’t want the three of us to be unhappy. You are an outstanding girl. You must find a better mate than me. You don’t have to...”

“But all I want is you!” Isabella pushed Norman’s arm away, stood up, and rushed out of the gate.
