Chapter 0175 Let me know about that dress shopping trip , she said .
Im really looking forward to meeting your mother .
Ill speak to her when I get home and let you know the details , I replied , though the idea of spending the afternoon with Diana and my mother seemed far less appealing now .
Still , I was determined to win her over to show her that Alexander and I were a good match and that he was a good man .
With our goodbyes finished , we headed out to meet the car Alexander had arranged .
It was going to be a long drive , and I could already tell Alexander intended to work from his phone .
I glanced at him as he settled in beside me , his attention already on the screen .
Id always been curious about what kept him so busy , but Id never asked .
It wasnt that I thought hed keep it from me I just wasnt confident Id understand the details of his business dealings and didnt want to embarrass myself by asking questions that might seem obvious .
I pulled out my phone , hoping to distract myself , but Alexanders voice broke the silence before I could lose myself in anything .
What did she say to you ? I hesitated for a moment before answering honestly .
She asked me about last night .
Asked you about it or said something about it ? Alexander clarified , his eyes locking onto mine .
His scrutinizing gaze made it impossible to think of anything but the truth .
I sighed , setting my phone down on the seat beside me .
Its nothing worth discussing .
His frown deepened .
What do you mean ? She just wanted to make sure that everything was okay last night .
Alexanders eyes widened slightly before narrowing in disbelief , and he scoffed .
Of course my word wasnt enough , he said , shaking his head .
Honestly , it made me a little angry , I admitted .
Really ? I wouldnt expect you to get angry on my behalf over something like this .
It made me angry that she would question you like that over something so simple , I explained .
Alexander smiled .
I appreciate your outrage on my behalf , he said , sounding amused .
I shrugged , feeling a bit embarrassed .
I held back the whole truth .
I didnt want to cause issues with Alexander and his mother .
If she continued with this behavior , then I would have no choice but to tell him .
For now , it was a minor thing that could be ignored .
Silence settled between us after that .
After a few moments , Alexander turned his attention back to his phone , focusing on whatever business demanded his time .
I did the same , pulling my phone back into my hands .
The next few weeks were going to be incredibly busy .
Visiting the farmland today was only the beginning .
Despite the daunting logistics , I couldnt help but smile at the thought of it .

This land would be a great benefit to the pack and possibly the only truly good thing to come out of my brief marriage to David .
I glanced at Alexander as the thought crossed my mind .
Then again , maybe the farmland wasnt the only good Chapter 0175 +25 BONUS thing .
If it werent for my ill fated relationship with David Alexander and I would never have gotten to know each other the way we had .
Even if things between us didnt last , there was no denying that this connection this moment in time had changed my life .
1 The farmland that David had been forced to sign over to me was vast nearly a thousand acres .
It bordered land already owned by my pack , and as our car rolled up the narrow pathway toward the plot , I realized wed need to redraw our maps to reflect the shifted boundary .
The land on our side of the border had been underutilized due to its proximity to the Lunar Lake territory .
With this new acquisition , that could change , effectively doubling the usable land .
My mind raced with possibilities for the packs future .
But I reminded myself not to get ahead of things .
I needed to see the land firsthand before making decisions , which made this field trip with Alexander all the more important .
The car came to a stop , and we stepped out .
Walking a short distance along a dirt path , the fields came into view .
Something was wrong .
