章 329: He Was Hiding Again.

"The project." her memory felt dull. The words felt distant and dim as if it was a matter of long ago. Her head hurt as she thought about it.

His heart bled looking at her struggles. But he had nowhere to go to find replies. Her mother knew that she would suffer. She had warned him to not tell the truth to Evangeline. For now, he could only follow her instructions until he knew better.

He ran a hand in her hair tenderly, almost bleeding when she looked at him with confusion.

"Yes, Harold would be here today. I am sure he will find a way to convince his majesty for the contract. Do you want him to win this time?" he felt her stiffening into his arms. Her eyes went cold and she shook her head.

"No, i can not let him win." he nodded back, cupping her cheeks and kissing her forehead.
