Chapter 26 : I’m in love with another man’s wife

The ride back to Meria was a quiet one, from the time Ella had woken up she had not said a word to anyone, she even refused to have breakfast and just insisted on going back home as soon as possible.

Nathan sat on the opposite bench of the carriage Ella and him were in, watching the girl intently. Her eyes and face were blank, as if her ability to show emotional had been completely sucked out of her. The prince hated seeing the woman he loved like this, and he knew she was like this because of the disappointment she'd endured back in Gavaria when she'd met the prince.

He honestly didn't want to make her unhappy but he had to do it to protect her, to protect their future together. Bringing prince Adam into their lives would just bring unnecessary complications. Keeping Adam away from Ella was the lesser evil.

"I'm sorry."

Nathan lifted his head up and looked at the woman in front of him, she was looking outside the carriage window watching the trees go by.
