Harlan fell silent. He knew I was right.
After settling Emily down, Harlan and I drove back to our apartment. But as soon as we got out of the car, Harlan seemed to sense that something was off.
“Debra, someone’s been following us,” he whispered in my ear seriously. ‘Be prepared to fight. They might try to ambush us.”
Debra’s POV:
I immediately became vigilant.
I didn’t know who sent this person, nor could I tell how strong the other party was.
Harlan and I were on high alert, ready to turn into wolves at any time. Suddenly, a small figure emerged from the shadows
“Mommy!” Elena approached us, her beautiful blonde hair Looked almost silver in the moonlight.
She was wearing the pink dress I had bought her before. As she ran to me, she looked like a beautiful woodland fairy. Behind Elena was Anna.
“Elena? What’re you doing here, baby?”
I was pleasantly surprised. Elena was the last person I was expecting to see at this time.
Harlan, on the other hand, didn’t Let his guard down. He pricked up his ears and looked around like a cheetah searching for its prey, ready to fight against any enemy. But when Elena bounded over and called him in a sweet voice, his sharp eyes softened in an instant.
“Elena, what brings you here?”
Harlan stretched out his arms to hug Elena, but it seemed he was scared that he might hurt her, so he ended up holding his arms out awkwardly. He didn’t even know where to put his hands, which made him look silly.

Anna explained with a smile, “Elena has missed you so much. When Debra sent me her new address, Elena kept pestering me, begging me to bring her here. She wanted to surprise you, so we hid in the bushes while waiting for you.”
Harlan couldn’t help but chuckle heartily when he heard that this was Elena’s idea.
But the next second, he coughed and tried to hide his smile, complaining, “Although it was a nice surprise, Elena, your sudden appearance would disturb our work.”
“But I miss you and Mommy!” Elena stuck out her lower lip pitifully.
Harlan’s tone softened immediately. “Alright, alright. Just don’t do that again, okay?”
He tried to make himself sound tough, but I could tell that he didn’t want to hurt Elena’s feelings.
“Okay…” Elena said softly, looking a little depressed.
Seeing this, Harlan sighed helplessly. “I know you miss your mommy, Elena. You didn’t do anything wrong, so don’t be sad. I’ll drive Anna home first and Let you and your mommy have some alone time, okay?”
