After a while, I couldn’t help but ask, “Are you okay?”
Debra’s POV:
Riley didn’t answer me at first. She seemed to be a little absent-minded and muttered to herself, “Adam wasn’t like this before. He used to Love Listening to me playing the piano when we were young.”
I didn’t know what to say, so I didn’t say anything and listened to her quietly.

Fortunately, Riley didn’t seem to care whether I responded or not. On the contrary, she was immersed in her own world, and she continued talking to herself.
“I don’t know when he changed. He has become so estranged and indifferent to me. I’m so scared. I have no idea why Adam would treat me like this.”
Seeing Riley mutter to herself in a trance, I felt bad.
I had read up on Riley’s background. She had come from a very rich family. When Adam started doing business in Roz Town, her family had helped Adam a lot. Later, when developing Roz Town, Riley had worked very hard by Adam‘s side. She had participated in a lot of construction projects and made great contributions to the development of the town.
The residents of Roz Town all admired Riley very much. Earlier today, when we went to the supermarket to buy ingredients, everyone greeted her warmly. And I could see that Riley Loved Roz Town very much. She had done everything in her power to help the people here.
But now, Adam wanted to sell the town without even telling Riley about it.
I couldn’t help but wonder how Riley would react when she heard the news in the future.
“Honey, I don’t understand,” Ivy, my mate, said in confusion. “Aren’t Riley and Adam mates? How come it’s Like they don’t love each other?”
I explained, “Ivy, Moon Goddess can only chose a partner for us but can’t guarantee that the Love will last forever. Whether we can spend the rest of our Lives together or not depends on us.”
“Huh? What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Well, maybe you think that our mate should be loyal to us for the rest of his life. But the truth is, Moon Goddess only tells you who our mate is. We’re all raised differently, with different morals and values. It’ll be up to us what kind of person we’ll become in the end.”
Ivy fell silent for a long time before relying, “I didn’t know that love is so complicated.”
After cleaning up the table, Riley seemed to feel a Little better.
She finally acknowledged my presence. “Debra, let’s prepare some dessert and take it to Adam and Caleb in the study Later.”
“Okay.”
I followed Riley into the kitchen.
After preparing a tray of dessert, I went upstairs with Riley.
When we passed the window of the study, we peeked inside, only to find that Adam and Caleb weren’t in the room
