Chapter 63: Gain her trust

~Betty~

After the meeting, I could hardly keep my peace. I kept pacing in my room, thinking of what to do next.

I wasn’t sure what was going to happen after Celine had poisoned Kilhan’s mind against me, but one thing I knew was that I wasn’t going to let her ruin me before I returned the favor.

In haste, I prepared to head out of the house. I wore a sweetheart dress and a sandal. This was the favorite dress of the person I was about to visit.

I had to make sure he would be happy as soon as he set his eyes on me.

After dressing up, I headed out of my room and ran into Kilhan. I clenched my jaws and breathed heavily as soon as our gazes met.

“Are you heading out?” He asked as I walked towards him.

“Does it matter? It’s not like you care, do you?” I asked, and was about to walk past him when he grabbed my wrist, making me stop.

“I do care about you, and you know that.” He responded, but I yanked my hand off his.
