Chapter 443: I'm not running out of time, I'm approaching the finish line

The room was silent for a long moment.

She almost began to suspect she'd just not spoken a moment ago, but...

No.

The expressions on her husbands' faces said they'd heard her perfectly well.

"Caleb and Octavian know him?" Alexander mused.

She shook her head. "I don't know, he didn't say that exactly..."

But.

It made sense.

If she had to hide his identity from them, then perhaps they knew who he was.

Or there was the possibility that he felt they were being observed somehow, while her husbands who never left the room weren't?

She sighed and stared down at her sweet little kitten.

It wasn't that important a question anyway.

More important was.

Whether she could trust him.

Could she?

Even now she didn't know.

She did know that if she did - truly did - tell Caleb or Octavian, that man could disappear forever, leaving her back at square one.
