The Alpha's Regret Return Of The Betrayed Luna (Addison) novel Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Chapter 78 Shopping

Addison remembered the moment the smaller girl carefully crafted a flower crown from daisies and gently placed it on her playmate’s head. "Sister, you’re so beautiful..." she had whispered, eyes cast downward, fidgeting nervously with her fingers.

That shy little girl—her movements, her uncertainty, her soft admiration—mirrored Mila’s demeanor perfectly.

And now, standing here, Addison couldn’t help but compare the sincere look on Mila’s face to that of Claire’s—the woman who had mastered the art of false innocence. Claire, who would say one thing and mean another, who wore her innocence like a mask while cornering Addison with subtle malice, always smirking as if she’d won something invisible.

But Mila was different. The nervousness in her eyes wasn’t calculated. It was genuine. The memory confirmed it—at least, it seemed so.

Thinking of all this, Addison nodded at her mother, signaling that she understood her point. Seeing Addison so calm and understanding, the Queen smiled softly—but that smile faltered as her eyes turned red with emotion. Sadness welled up in her chest as she recalled what her mate had told her about Addison’s past experiences before she was rescued.

If she hadn’t threatened the Alpha King—her own mate—with dissolving their mate bond unless he told her the truth, he might have kept it hidden from her forever. It was only after Addison had spent nearly two years in the Sacred Land that she finally learned the full extent of what her daughter had been through.

And now, watching Addison remain gentle and considerate despite the memory loss and the trauma she had endured, the Queen’s heart ached. Addison had suffered so much... and yet, here she was, still choosing to be kind. That kind of strength—quiet, unyielding—only made the Queen feel more guilty for not being there when her daughter had needed her most.

More than anything, the Queen was seeing how much her daughter had grown and matured. Addison was no longer the carefree and willful girl she used to be. Her aura had only grown stronger, but it wasn’t just power—it was a reflection of everything she had endured. Still, the Queen didn’t want the mood to turn somber over the past.

So, with a bright smile, she clapped her hands to draw everyone’s attention.

"Sweetheart," she said cheerfully, "you’ve been away from the Royal Palace for so long, and there’s still so much you don’t remember. Would you like to explore the palace first, or shall we go shopping for clothes, shoes, and a few pretty trinkets?"

Her voice was full of excitement, hoping to lighten the atmosphere and help Addison ease into her return. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Before Addison’s arrival from the Sacred Land, the Alpha King had already stationed his most trusted guards around the palace to ensure her safety and prevent any information leaks, hearing his mate’s suggestion now, he gave a warm, approving nod and looked at Addison with nothing but love in his eyes.

Seeing her parents so enthusiastic, Addison hesitated. A part of her wanted to return to training—to strengthen her body and mind—but before she could say anything, her twins looked up at her with wide, pleading eyes.

"We want to see Mommy dress up beautifully," they chimed in unison, their voices sweet and persuasive.

These little charmers—though only three years old—already had an impressive vocabulary and knew exactly how to tug at someone’s heartstrings. Faced with their innocent request, Addison had no choice but to surrender. She let out a soft sigh and nodded in agreement.
