The Almighty Alpha Wins Back His Rejected Mate
Chapter 1542

I understood his intention-to bolster the legitimacy of our relationship and earn the trust of Veronica and the others.

Such attention was unfamiliar to me, and it unsettled me.

At this moment, thoughts of the man from my dreams surfaced.

Despite his indistinct features, his gentle beckoning stirred my heart.

Quietly, I pondered how my husband, if he existed, would respond to today’s events.

Would he feel sad?

Reality didn’t afford me time to dwell.

Veronica’s voice snapped me back.

She smiled, querying, “Debra, is Andrew speaking the truth?”

Despite Veronica’s smile, her voice chilled like ice.

She shifted her gaze back and forth between Andrew and me before fixing it on me, implying, “If it’s false, the truth will surface easily.

Debra, we harbor a strong aversion to deceit.

Surely you’re aware of this, aren’t you?”

The threat in her words hung heavy in the air.

I clenched my hand slightly.

I felt torn between Andrew’s plea and the gentleman from my dreams beckoning me.

What path should I take?

Veronica seemed to perceive my uncertainty.

Her lips curled in a satisfied smile.

“Well…”

But I interrupted her before she could continue.

“Ms.

Harrison!” Meeting Veronica’s gaze squarely, I spoke calmly.

“Andrew speaks truth.

My husband and I are divorced.

I am now Andrew’s fiancee.

I apologize, but a man cannot have two wives concurrently.

He cannot fulfill your request.

”

As soon as I spoke, the scene erupted again.

“Oh, so Andrew has taken a liking to this lady.

”

“Ah, that explains why he kept her in the manor and resisted marrying Shirley.

”

“Even though Debra is a lowly mixed-blood witch, she does possess a more pleasing appearance than Shirley.

”

The surrounding chatter escalated.

Veronica struggled to maintain her composure, her expression darkening in an instant.

Coldly, she inquired, “Debra, are you certain? Words, once spoken, cannot be unsaid.

You cannot retract them.

”

My grip on the dress tightened.

Honestly, I didn’t wish to offend Veronica, nor did I desire to fabricate such a ridiculous lie.

I held on to the belief of having a husband, even if I couldn’t recall him or his appearance.

Yet Andrew needed my help in his predicament, and I owed him for saving my life.

Considering Andrew’s thoughtful preparations and the steward’s attentive care, I nodded firmly.
