Capítulo 84: Don't run away

She bit her lower lip, fighting the urge to walk away.

'No, Mengjie. Don't run away.' She scolded herself inwardly. If she took another step further and left him behind, her questions would remain unanswered and it would just haunt her throughout the days. She inhaled sharply, building up the courage she needed before she turned and faced him. The first question that escaped her lips was, "were you lying to me the whole time?"

She furrowed her brows in annoyance. How could he still lie in front of her when she just heard everything earlier? The audacity of this man to lie on her face!

"I didn't lie," he repeated then continued, "I only kept certain information away from you."
