Chapter 114: Renewing Vows

Victor’s POV

“So in conclusion, I think she hates me.”

Sima sighed. “Tara does not hate you, Victor. She loves you.”

“No, no—she hates me. And do you know why I’m saying that?”

“I have a feeling you’re going to tell me.”

“Because she’s been ignoring me for days, ever since that altercation happened, and she misunderstood the reason why the elders were in my office. She thinks I’m going behind her back. She thinks I don’t trust her.”

Sima sighed. “Well, have you tried explaining to her that they all but accosted you? It sounds, from what you said, that she already figured that out, though.”

“She did, I mean, I did. But whenever I explain it, she just gets this far off look in her eye like she doesn’t really believe what I’m saying. You know?”

Sima opened her mouth to speak, placing the teacup down on the table between us, but before she could say anything, the door opened and someone walked in, speaking.

“What’s he doing here? No offense.”
