Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 2371

The more Eddie tried to find reasons to refute this possibility, the more those reasons confirmed that his suspicions were right.

For instance, he knew nothing about Fennec's past. Every time he asked about her childhood, she'd brush it off with some excuse.

For instance, even after two years of staying here, Fennec never once met with or contacted any other friends. The people she knew seemed to have popped up out of nowhere.

More importantly, they didn't have ID cards and couldn't even book a hotel.

Later, Fennec told him she might not be human, but he didn't press further and accepted everything without a single word of doubt. No matter what she was, he loved her, and just her.

He believed that as long as she didn't leave, it wouldn't matter if she was human, a ghost, or even a fox. But still, she left.

She didn't leave a single word and totally vanished from his life.

Now, he stayed in a daze in the house they once shared. Everything was the same, yet it all felt strangely hollow and desolate.

After downing a few beers, Eddie slumped against the edge of the couch, looking utterly disheveled.

Macaron's automatic feeder clicked on. But usually punctual to its meals, it seemed to sense his sadness and trotted over.

Then, it nudged his arm gently with its soft, furry head as if trying to comfort him.

Eddie scooped it up into his arms and hugged it tightly before beginning to wail, "Macaron! Your mom doesn't want us anymore! Fennec! How could she be so harsh?

"If you were going to leave, why didn't you take me and Macaron with you!

"What's in that world, huh! Do you have another man out there? Are you gonna dump me now…"

As he hugged Macaron and bawled, he subconsciously wiped his tears on the fox's fur. Even Macaron couldn't take his drunken mess anymore as it kicked free and scampered away.

"Leave me alone! Didn't you ditch me too! All of you should just leave!"

When the gentle tugging came again, he turned over with a snarl. "I said, don't touch me!"

The hand tugging his sleeve paused. Then, a soft, careful voice called out, "Eddie…"

He froze at the familiar voice. Then, it took him a long time before he stiffly raised his head.

Through the faint light, he saw the familiar figure standing in front of them. His eyes, already puffy from crying, welled up with tears once more.

When the person reached out to try again, he lunged forward without a second thought and pulled her into a tight, desperate hug.

Ha… Fennec hadn't left him after all.
