Chapter 83: Suspicious Newlywed Couple

Alvin furrowed realizing he scared her more with his words. He never coaxed anybody and didn't know what he should say to make her relax.

Just then, he heard her mumbling to herself, "I shouldn't be afraid." Then he noticed she was repeating it to herself without saying it out loud.

'She shouldn't be afraid!?' She was obviously scared to her wits. He wouldn't have been surprised if she had fainted in shock. Not everyone could handle watching such a terrifying view.

He held her arm and pulled her closer. Brushing her hair away, he cupped her face and lifted her head to look at him, "It's alright to be afraid."

She instantly retorted, "No." Fear takes away rational thinking and level-headedness. One who has to protect, couldn't afford to fall weak due to fear.

How to calm her down? He wasn't getting it. He tried to explain the situation and that scared her. He tried to tell her she doesn't have to hide her fear but she wasn't in a state to accept it.
