The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1177

Why?

Clutching the box tightly, anxiety gnawing at my insides, I found myself unable to think clearly amidst the turmoil.

Debra’s POV:

Caleb noticed how upset I was and patted my back gently, offering reassuring words.

“Don’t fret.

If witch power can’t unlock the lock, we’ll find another method.

Your mom wouldn’t have given you this box without a reason.

You stay here to look after the kids.

I’m going to scout for some tools to see if we can pry the box open.

”

Caleb was quick to act on his plan.

He came back shortly with an assortment of tools like pliers and hammers, ready to tackle the box.

“Let’s try these out.

I’m confident we’ll get the box open with one of these,” Caleb encouraged, showing a box full of tools to me.

“I’m determined to get this box open for you.

”

I was a bit unsure and anxious about ruining the box, but my curiosity won over, and I consented to try Caleb’s approach.

We kept at it until evening, but none of the tools worked to open the box, leaving me filled with disappointment.

The children watched silently, sensing our frustration as we mulled over the stubborn box.

My spirits sank as the daylight faded.

“We’ve tried everything.

Why won’t this box open? It doesn’t make any sense!” My annoyance spilled out.

“What’s the deal with this box? It just won’t budge!”

My intense desire to unlock the box heightened my frustration, affecting the kids too.

Sensing the tension, the children retreated quietly.

Their timid reaction made me pause and regain my calm.

I didn’t want to scare them, yet I was determined to uncover the contents of the box, believing that it held something important from my mother.

Unraveling its mystery seemed the only way to ease my mind.

After pondering for a bit, I made up my mind and told Caleb, “Could you please take the kids outside for a little while? I want to have another go at opening this box alone.

If it doesn’t work, I’ll stop for today and we can think of new strategies Later.

”

Caleb hesitated, showing some worry, and mentioned, “We’ve tried so many ways to get it open today with no luck.

”

Looking at the box in my grasp, I declared with conviction, “Sometimes, trying a different angle or method can be the key.

I want to try alone.

”

Caleb knew how determined I could be, so he agreed with a bit of reluctance.

“Just make sure you’re careful.

Your well-being is my main concern.

”

His care for my well-being warmed my heart.

With a grateful smile, I assured him, “I appreciate your concern.

I’ll be fine.

I know what I’m doing.

”

“Alright.

” Caleb then turned to the kids.

“Mom needs to sort something out.

Let’s head outside and have some fun.

We’ll be back after a bit.

”

The children agreed without a fuss.
