Chapter 8 : Lies

Should I tell him the truth? Or should I just twisted and made up the story to make it believable? I was honestly very good with lying.

I couldn't just straight up and told him, a stranger the truth even though I kinda 'like' him for now.

And I had a feeling that he could easily spot my lies.

It was not safe, Myra. He could be anyone right now and don't trust him.

Hold on, why am I thinking so hard on this?!

"I am indeed her mother."

Xavier stayed silent for a few seconds after he heard my answer.

"Oh."

That was it? Just a simple 'oh'?

I suddenly shivered. His deep and husky simple 'oh' sent chills down my spine.

Wait a minute, did I have an obsession for men with deep voice?

"Why do you ask? Is there a problem?" I decided to say something first, just to get out of the awkward situation.

"Nothing, just curious." He smiled.

The air and tension suddenly became thick that even you could cut the tension with a knife.
