Chương 121: The First Fight

"No absolutely not." Demetri growled. 

Nora stopped talking, her spoon hanging mid-air as she stared at his sudden and totally unexpected outburst.

"What?"

"You are not going to use yourself as bait to get the perpetrator caught. I won't let you put yourself in danger."

Nora placed down her spoon gently and spoke," Uhh... Demetri, I don't know if you know this but I am already in danger..."

"Yes, and my people are already looking for the culprits. So we do not have to take unnecessary risks. There is no need for you to go out and endanger yourself more...And that is final."

Nora looked down at her spoon and then at Demetri. This is what she had feared would happen. When they had entered the contract marriage, they had both been on equal ground. But due to the attacks on her, Demetri had taken over the charge of protecting her. And this had tilted the balance.
