Chapter 70: Doubt

Lucian stood by and watched Aileene receive her urgent letter and read it. He was rather curious about what the letter contained, as it seemed to have thrown her off so much so that her mood went through a drastic change. Even to the point that she would immediately burn it with no hesitation. He had always known that there were things that Aileene hid from him, but there were things he had hid from her too. He wasn't sure when he should truly expose himself to her, he didn't know what her reaction would be. He couldn't bear for her to react negatively, but with this afternoon and Aileene's show of vulnerability, he was convinced of his own foolish. He should have comforted her first and told her all the truths that he possessed, he had been purposely prolonging until the very moment that she had to confess herself.
