38 Special Treatment For The Girlfriend

Selma Payne’s POV:

I sat back in my seat dejectedly. But, then, I thought of something and asked, “When do you think I can reveal my identity?”

My mother pondered for a moment. “Your father and I both think that it will take about a year for you to finish your training and be able to protect yourself.”

Eleven months! I added in my heart.

I’d already started a month of training, so there were still eleven months before that day came. That meant I’d be able to see Aldrich’s surprised face in eleven months. However, I still couldn’t imagine how he’d react. I really couldn’t wait to see that day come.

“Mom, when will I be able to see your wolf? Will my wolf be as good as yours?” I looked at my mother worriedly. She took the schedule handed to her by the person next to her and frowned.

She didn’t have the time. She and my father were too busy. I couldn’t even see them every day. My willful suggestion must have put my mother in a difficult position. She was nice and couldn’t bear to hurt my feelings, but I always caused her trouble. I was not a good daughter.

“If you’re too busy, it’s fine. You’ll have time, won’t you?” Then, I added, “One day in the future, you know.”

My mother smiled. “It’s okay, baby. You can tell me anything you want. How about next weekend? Your father and I can cancel a few boring gatherings next weekend.”

She winked at me playfully. “It’s almost time. Haven’t you been looking forward to training? So hurry up and go!”

I felt my mother knew something, but she didn’t mention it.

However, the thought of seeing Aldrich immediately made me want to fly. I hurriedly said goodbye to my mother and went to the training ground. Someone had been waiting there for a long time.

“Hey, my dear girlfriend, did you sleep well last night?” The dark circles under his eyes betrayed him.

I smelled the lemon scent on him, squinted, and laughed. “Be careful not to let others hear you. You’re going to see the King and Queen today.”

Aldrich stuck out his tongue. “It’s okay. We will be recognized.”

He looked very confident, but I didn’t believe what he had just said.

“So, let’s go and clarify our relationship now.”

He immediately scrunched his face and pleaded, “Darling, I was wrong. I might need more time to gather some courage.”

I hugged him and giggled .”I thought you were not afraid of anything.”

“I’m only afraid that you won’t be by my side. ”

I leaned into his arms, and the strong scent of lemon wrapped around me. My heart had never been so determined before.

“Alright, let’s start training. I’ll give you some special treatment as my girlfriend.” He grinned and laughed. “Let’s go and run fifty laps to warm up.”

“This is your girlfriend’s special treatment?” I raised my eyebrows and asked him.

“Of course, you can get my true love’s kiss after the run. Isn’t that preferential treatment enough?”

When I finished running fifty laps, I didn’t get a kiss of true love but sixty push-ups. Finally, when I couldn’t bear it anymore and wanted to teach him what a couple was like, my parents came. Perhaps I was looking forward to letting them see the results of my training today.

Great, I glanced at Aldrich. He was smiling triumphantly at me.

I’d take back what I said before about liking him a little. He was an annoying person. Yeap, a good-looking annoying person.

Due to my parents’ visit, the training was surprisingly serious. We didn’t continue to talk after the training. I followed my parents away. They had to deal with some government affairs at noon, and I had to learn by their side. At the same time, we also decided to set a time to see my parents’ wolves. We would start this on a working day because they had to accompany each other during the weekend.

To be honest, I could understand my parents’ feelings now. When two people stayed together and did nothing, they could spend the day comfortably. As long as they were with the person they love, they would not be bored no matter what. But, on the other hand, if they were separated, no matter what interesting things they did, they would always feel that something was lacking.

For example, although my people were standing in the office, I had been thinking about Aldrich. Would he feel disappointed? We could have spent some time together after training, but now we could only rely on mobile phones to communicate, which was frustrating.

“Sweetheart? Sweetheart?” My mother said, “Earth to you.”

My mother’s teasing made my face burn. It was all Aldrich’s fault that I made a fool of myself in front of my parents.

“Do you think you’d like to take a walk in the forest with us one day? We just found that the scenery by the lake is magnificent.”

“How about tomorrow?” My father asked me after thinking for a while.

There would be training tomorrow, but I would treat it as a special treat for my boyfriend.

My phone was vibrating. It was Aldrich calling me, but I didn’t answer and declined the call as if nothing had happened.
