My Guardian Married My Sister But I’m His Alpha Chapter 46
“What did he say?” Chiara demanded.
“He said, ‘I choose Francesca.’”
Francesca said it softly, as if she were recounting an old, simple story.
But every word was a dagger to Chiara’s heart.
“He said you were too stubborn, and your wolf was strong enough. You could survive without him. But I couldn’t.”
“So after Dad died, he was the one who proposed the alliance.”
“Dad didn’t force him. Grandpa and the Council didn’t arrange it. He chose me.”
Francesca set the insulated container on the entry cabinet and finally looked at Chiara.
There were tears in her eyes.
But behind them, there was a sliver of triumph she couldn’t quite hide.
“You asked what right I had to be his wife,” she said. “That’s my right. He chose me.”
“You can hate me if you want, but you can’t hate him. He was the one who made the choice, from beginning to end.”
Then she pulled her cardigan tighter around herself and turned away.
The elevator doors opened and closed.
The hallway was left with nothing but the faint scent of chicken soup.
After Francesca left, Chiara leaned against the door for a long time.
