Bab 596: Pair

Mirah finished bathing Damien and left the boy to rest for the night.

Damien was expecting his mother to come and tuck him in the bed as usual. However, she didn't come.

At first, he thought that Theodore hadn't left the mansion yet so his mother was taking some time. However, even after waiting for what felt like hours, there was no sign of his mother.

"I think I should go and look for her." Damien slid out of the bed and tip-toed towards the door.

However, before he reached the door, he suddenly jerked and stopped on his way.

"What if Prince Theodore told mom that I made Ariel fall from a great height? What if she didn't come to see me because she is angry with me?"

Damien pursed his lips and frowned.

"Er… I think I should sleep quietly. I won't talk to her unless she talks to me. That way, I don't have to get scolded by her."

Damien turned on his heels and then walked towards his bed.
