Bab 65: Haircut

Inside Valen's room…

The child just came out of the bathroom looking flushed. His milky white skin had red patches from the hotness of the water and his hair was dripping.

He had a white towel wrapped loosely around his waist.

Getting into his room, he was shocked to see Jeslyn sitting on his bed with a leg crossed and a maid standing beside the door with her head bowed.

"What are you doing here?" Valen asked, looking guarded.

"Relax, little plum…"

"Don't call me that!" It sounds too girly. He thought.

Jeslyn chuckled and shrugged. "Little Plum, I'm here to apologize." She smiled.

Valen furrowed his brows. 'Apologize? When has Jeslyn ever apologized to him?'

The more Valen thought about it, the more he felt suspicious of her.

"You can leave now," Valen said, not accepting or rejecting her apology.

"I should, but I can't." Jeslyn shook her head and got up.

With every step she takes towards Valen, he takes an equal step back.
