章 204: He Is Insecure

"...." silence followed as Victor stood there dumbfounded. But then a hollow laugh escaped his lips. 

"I should have known that! You do not trust me." The voice was full of grief. It forced Nora to look away.

"I trust you. But…" the urge in his eyes left her at a loss of words. "But my life is not that simple. Even if I tell you, you would not believe me." The surety in her voice made him laugh again.

"Try me! Let's start with the game. Whose idea was it?" He stared hard at her, making it clear that she could not go until she would speak the truth. She smiled wryly.

"You! It was your idea. Now do you believe it?" Victor frowned. The look in Nora's eyes told her that she was speaking the truth. A strange memory of his childhood where his mother teased her to watch powerpuff girls. And to hide his embarrassment he had told her that he was researching.
