Chapter 66: Chapter 66

**Cassie's POV**

My experience has taught me that time moves at a breakneck pace. We have been gone from Clayland for several months, and life just keeps getting better and better. It amazes me that people can survive in such an environment. Despite the fact that there are still disagreements, racism, violence, and a great number of other toxic tendencies that I can see and observe on a daily basis, I continue to believe that this life is far superior to the one I led previously.

My existence with Kaiden is, without a doubt, the most enjoyable part of my life. Despite the fact that it was the worst possible situation, I recall those days as being filled with so much joy.

After receiving a phone call from Derek, my employer, who informed me that they will be back this week from their extended holiday, I am currently busy arranging with other departments. Derek also informed me that they will be back soon. I am overjoyed because I have the impression that our previously pleasant friendship has developed further.

Despite the fact that I am aware of his feelings, I continue to treat him as a friend, and I really hope that he enjoys it.

I don't understand myself either because now that he isn't here with me, I'm starting to feel lonely without his presence, and my son misses his uncle. I don't know why this is happening.

But I also owe Dax a debt of gratitude because he has proven to be a responsible caregiver for my son when I am not present. It is a pleasure to spend time with him, and I am grateful that, despite the fact that he is the reserved sort of guy, he is able to open up to me.

“Coffee?” Anne was kind enough to give me a cup, but I won't be drinking this. Caffeine consumption is not recommended for someone like me who is a werewolf.

"You're welcome, Anne. I told her that despite the fact that the foundation anniversary was drawing up, it seemed like everyone was really busy. This will be the very first time that I take part in an event of this magnitude.

"Of course, our boss strives for perfection in all she does. That ball is going to be attended by a large number of well-known business magnates and personalities... There is no way in the name of all that is holy that Mr. Ross will allow us to make a shoddy preparation for a large occasion. To that extent, I concur.

The moment I finish the tasks that have been delegated to me, I immediately begin to organize my belongings in preparation for moving into the company building.

Dax stated that he will be the one to bring my son back home, thus at this time I am in my apartment because of his insistence. Because it is ingrained in me, I have sufficient faith in him.

And as I walked into my flat, I observed Dax and Charlie engaged in a game of chess. They appear to be concentrating so intently on what they are doing that they are oblivious to the fact that I have already arrived.

“Mom!” Charlie greeted me with a warm embrace and a kiss on the cheek. He is a nice and kind person. In addition to that, I've seen that Charlie is becoming taller. I have no doubt that he carries the spirit of aloha within his DNA. It would be better if I trained him myself.

I am aware that we have reached a stage in our life in which everything appears to be harmonious and causes us fewer problems. However, there are still dangers that could be keeping quiet for the time being but ultimately end up hitting us.

I simply cannot let go of the idea that Aron is so avaricious that he would take the life of his brother. In addition to this, there is a substantial risk that he will cause us, particularly my kid, physical harm.

Dax murmured, "You look pale," with concern audible in his voice.

"Everything is fine; I'm just exhausted from all of the work and other stuff." I am not even close to being that turned on, but I have to make an excuse for myself.

He advised, "Don't be too hard on yourself, and also make sure to take some time to relax." I am thankful for his generosity. Both his lulling speech and his reassuring presence helped me feel more at ease.

"Thank you so much for your remarks; I was in desperate need of it. In passing, I was wondering if you planned on staying for dinner. I asked him. Art is more than welcome to stay at my flat, and he readily wants to sleep in our living room. I have been inviting him for the previous several days, and he is more than happy to do so.

He said that he is more comfortable in this location. He reported that ever since he slept here, he has been having less nightmares and is getting a better night's rest overall. My confidence in my ability to heal him is growing by the day. But all jokes aside, it makes me quite pleased to know that he is making progress in his recovery.

I told him that his boss was taking his sister on a business trip and that she would be returning with him. He stopped slicing the meat in the middle of doing it. He is helping me cook our dinner.

"Is your boss going to be there?" Will it be possible for me to visit this place once more? I am able to pick up on the melancholy in his tone of voice. Because this flat is now his safe haven, I am aware that he will experience feelings of depression. I find it quite flattering that he would place his faith in me and in both of us.

You are more than welcome to stay with us! I am pleased to see that you are making progress in spite of the fact that I do not understand the reasoning behind your perception that you benefit more from remaining in this location than anyone else.

"I don't comprehend myself either. Since the day that I have to stay here every night, I have not had a single nightmare since that time.

"I have no idea why, but it makes me pleased that I can in some small way assist you. Even though we haven't known each other for very long, I can already tell that you are the kind of person who has a large heart. I am thankful for the manner in which you watch for my son whenever I am not present. You are in no way to blame for those terrifying dreams, and I promise that I will do all in my power to assist you in any way, shape, or form. I am happy to be able to repay you for your generosity.

"Every one of my students, including Charlie, is like a son to me. I noticed that Charlie is a bright youngster, but I also noticed how alone he is. And on the basis of what you mentioned, I am aware that he desired, even so, to experience the affection of a parent.

I heaved a sigh before turning my attention once again to my task. It is already six o'clock, and I need to speed up my cooking. "Yeah, I know that my love is not enough, but I am still doing and giving my best in order to fill the gaps."

"Cassie, not only are you a wonderful mother but you are also very kind. I want to thank you for allowing me to stay here, as it will be beneficial to both my mental health and my peace of mind. You have no idea how much assistance you have provided for me.
