章 25: Ambiguous Confession _ 1

[Margaret's POV]

Armstrong's sudden confession mades it difficult for me to think.

"No, this is wrong."

I couldn't even tell if he was telling the truth. If he really loved me as he said, how could he watch me suffer and be unmoved? He knew I cared about this, but he still asked me to help Elizabeth prepare the ceremony. Was this his love for me?

And he only told me this after I became partners with Donald. Did Armstrong love me or was he uneasy about me becoming partners with Donald? Did my becoming partners with the Lycan King challenge his self-esteem?

I didn't want to speculate about Armstrong, but I couldn't trust him, let alone question him.

"I know that's not right, but I still want to tell you. After all, we were so in love, right?"

Armstrong took my hand without going any further.

"We used to be so compatible, talking about everything. I wouldn't hide anything from you, you remember."
