Chapter 59
After waking up in an unfamiliar place, I felt somewhat disoriented. A small, furry head nestled into my arms. I reached down and gently patted the puppy’s he
“Beanie,” I mummured.
11 looked up at me, its eyes wide and innocent. Beanie still seemed half asleep.
In my past life, it used to curl up in my arms and nuzzle me from time to time. Unfortunately, I had never seen its face clearly.
It tumed out it had looked at me this way, its eyes filled with affection. I buried my face in its ti
tur, rubbing my cheek against it. I was reluctant to let it go.
I pulled out my phone and saw that someone had already reached out. They said they would adopt Beanie and even sent me a video.
In the footage, the young woman had two dogs at home. They seemed pampered and well cared for. I was sure Deante would be in good hands with her.
Beanie was a common name, but the name change might change its tate too. Maybe it’d have a better life from now on.
Well, Beanie wasn’t such a bad name either
And so, I decided to contact the woman. “can we meet in an hour?”
“Sure, no problem!” came the reply.
My gaze tell on Beanie, who was still blissfully unaware of the situation. It looked up at me, its tail wagging eagerly. When I placed some kibble in a cardboard box, it dove in and gobbled it up happily.
After freshening up, I clipped on Beanie’s leash and headed out. But as soon as I opened the door, I ran into a middle–aged man standing right outside.
The moment he saw me, he seemed momentarily stunned.
“Is Gideon in?” he asked.
“He’s not bete.”
1 recognized him immediately. He was in his early 50s and shared an uncanny resemblance to Samuel. The man in front of me had to be Samuel’s father and Gideon’s older brother, Eric Jackiran
Eric sized me up before his gaze landed on my neck. I froze, remembering the bite mark I saw in the minor that morning
The truth was that Samuel was the one who left the mark. He bit me during the charity event the clay before.
I had been so focused on Beanie that I had completely ignored the mark. I wasn’t sure if Gideon had noticed it
Thankfully, I had been sitting on the other side of the car, so he might not have seen it.
I watched as Eric remained silent for a few seconds before pulling out his phone. He then called his secretary and turned to leave.
Meanwhile, I quickly grabbed my phone and sent Gideon E
I typed, “Mr. Jackman, a middle–aged man was looking for you, I was just about to leave the villa when he saw me. But he didn’t ask anything and left,
Within moments, Gideon replied, “It’s fine. Go aliead with your business.”
Iresponded, “okay. By the way, how should I give you the villa luys? Should I mail them to you?
Gideon’s reply came almost immediately. “Keep the keys for now. If you have nowhere else to go, you can stay there. Just return them to me the next time we meet.
I simply replied with a
“Thank you” and ended the conversation. With that, theaded out to meet the woman who would adopt Beanie.
The woman, slightly chubby and with a kind demeanor, blushed when she spoke to me. Her expression softened as she crouched to pet Beanie, who seemed to like hier as well
After telling her Beane’s name, I handed her the least

It took her over thater hours to snap out of her thoughts, and she quickly said, “Jules, I was so caught up in It! You didn’t even take a bread”
