Bab 60: Would you give me a chance?

He frowned under her intense gaze. Just when she thought he was going to admit whatever it was that he was hiding, he shrugged indifferently. "Go ahead."

His reaction was unexpected. She frowned and scanned him for a moment. "I see. You are certain that I can't do it." When she tried to read his mind, it amounted to nothing. He must have blocked her, which made the whole situation even more questionable.

"Why?" She demanded answers. "Why don't you want me to know?"

"Go to bed." He instructed. Before she could protest, he looked at her sternly. "Just do as I say."

She crossed her arms. "You don't get to tell me what to do or not do. I will leave when I want to but not before…"

She stopped speaking when he suddenly stood, glaring down at her. Before she could process his sudden anger, he grabbed her by her elbow and shoved her out of the room." You will not get a word out of my mouth by pressing it. Now go along."
