"Charlotte, she ca here to et —who the heck told you to yell at her?" Maximus lost it out of the blue, yelling so loud that it made her face turn pale.
"Maximus, please calm down," The minute I turned to look at him, he checked his behavior.
"I’m sorry," he mumbled like a lost puppy, lowering his head sadly.
"Are you serious? You’re way too nice to her," Charlotte complained, and Maximus gritted his teeth at her.
"I’ll go check if Emt is done showering. I wanted to check on him anyway," I quickly added, hoping Charlotte wouldn’t think I ca here only for her fiancé. But before I could leave, I turned to Maximus and smiled at him. "You can’t bla for everything. Her standing here should remind you of sothing."
It was my way of telling him that he can’t expect to still be crazy in love with him after he decided to accept my abusive cousin.
I briskly made my way past her, intentionally hitting her with my shoulder because I had so much anger inside at that mont.
Once I was at the stairs, I saw Norman coming back up, frowning as if trying to understand what happened.
"You’re a good guard, huh? Slacking off on your duties?" I teased, noticing he was supposed to stay outside the door to make sure his mother or anyone else didn’t co shouting at .
"I had to go to the restroom," he complained, briskly walking after . I was making my way through the passage to see Emt when he kept following .
"You can take a break from here. I’ll be fine when I’m talking with Emt," I turned around, not realizing how close he was until he stopped when my nose brushed against his chest. I awkwardly stepped back and gestured at him to leave alone with Emt.
"How about no? What is it that you have to talk to him about that you can’t do in front of ?" he placed his hands on his waist, making narrow my eyes a little.
"No! You can squeeze those big buttons all you want, but I won’t leave you alone with him," he said, knowing that was bound to happen. He had probably noticed sothing between and Emt from the way I reacted when Emt was taken and how Emt and I always seem to get in trouble together at odd tis.
"Fine," I shrugged, trying to convince him nothing was going on. I wasn’t ready to give up everything for a love story yet. I had deep feelings for Emt, but I was sure my revenge would co first, and my love story with him could wait.
I just hoped he would understand and not act like his brothers.
We made it to his room, and that’s when Emt ca out too. He almost bumped into before stepping back and flicking my forehead.
"Little birdie," the way he cheerfully greeted , while tilting his head, made smile. He was so present and cheerful. The sadness I had been feeling after the attack that night was all gone from just a look at his face.
He probably had no idea how important he had beco to now.
"How are you?" I asked, acting all shy when I was really trying my best not to be because Norman had been watching my every move.
"How do I look?" he questioned, taking a step back so I could get a good view of him.
I should have just said "fine," but instead, I began to blush.
"All done? She has to go back to hostel," Norman snapped his fingers between us, causing to turn my head to him and hiss at him.
"I’m sure she can stay for a while," Emt added. "Right?" I bet he knew that by talking like this to , he was making blush hard, and he still didn’t stop.
"Why would she stop? Why don’t you ask her why she was out of the hostel that night?" And then, the evil queen arrived.
I watched Lady Darcy briskly make her way through the passage with Charlotte behind her. So, she had told her mother-in-law about .
"When have you ever cared about your sons so much?" Emt laughed, teasingly pinching my black shirt to pull behind him.
As he did, his mother grimaced harder.
"I always did. Ask her—ask her why she was outside the hostel," she kept yelling as she approached us.
"She almost made my sons lose their lives!" she yelled, making sure I could hear her screams.
"She’s family, mother. We would have done that for each other too, so why is it a big deal that we did it for her?" Norman spoke up, stepping steadily to the side, standing next to his brother, shielding .
"Oh right, and wouldn’t you have asked your brother why he was outside?" It seed like she was certain I did it on purpose, and what she said next confird it.
"She’s like her mother, she wants to get rid of all of you so that only her mother and she are sitting and enjoying the luxuries!" she scread, causing to hug myself and then step forward. The brothers didn’t need to defend all the ti, especially when I had a surprise for her.
The brothers were shocked that I had co to the front when I faced their mother.
"Oh, you!" she groaned, clenching her jaw at my sight. "Why were you outside, huh?" she asked directly.
"You really think you can handle the truth?" I asked, watching her frown. Charlotte had her eyes narrowed at .
"Tell , I can swallow any of your absurd excuses for being outside that night that almost ruined my sons’ lives," she said, mimicking , hissing and grunting.
"Well, why don’t you ask your sweet nephew?" I folded my arms over my chest, while she looked at her son, who was also facing to hear out now.
"Roo? Why do you have his na in your mouth? Don’t tell you left the hostel to et him—" she had no idea what the truth was, so I decided to give that to her.
"Roo hit unconscious and then left tied to a tree," I announced, feeling so proud of myself for finally being able to tell them what I had been going through.
