Chapter 484: Don't worry

Vera's eyes were wide as she finally looked down at him. She could see the utter shock that was in his eyes now as they both came down from their earth-shattering high.

Their eyes held each other's, their breaths still loud in their ears. Their staring contest continued until Vera gave in and averted her gaze and looked down. "I… I'm sorry, I… it was… I was…" her small hands that were placed on top of his hard abdomen clenched hard, trembling a little. "I didn't… do it on –"

Suddenly, he yanked her against him and hugged her tight. "I know, Red…" he whispered reassuringly, and she could tell he had struggled to speak. "It's not your fault."

She felt him let out a couple of shaky breaths, but his body was still trembling. It was obvious to her that his trembling was due to fear, and she also had the feeling that he was hugging her like this to hide his expression from her.

It made her heart clench in pain that he was trembling like this.
