Chapter: 29

“Around the palace?!” I frown when I realize the destination.

I should have known better.

“Think of it as our first date while getting closer to each other,” he said casually while I gaped in shock.

Date?

Did I hear that right?!

“There’s nothing good about me, you’re going to lose your feelings even more when you find out the truth about me” I snapped and started walking ahead of him.

“That’s an impossible thing” He exclaimed confidently and it made me annoyed to hear it.

I stopped walking and turned around to look into his eyes.

He gave me a sharp look as he started walking closer and I had to take a step back when I felt his touch on my left cheek.

What happened to him now?!

Why did he suddenly need to touch me?!

“Let.. Let’s go then” I looked away and started walking, my face red from the feelings I shouldn’t feel for this man.

Angry, I should still be angry at him.

I shouldn’t forgive him so easily.

She said nothing and I heard her footsteps following me. Cold, I hugged the thin cardigan I was wearing with my hospital nightgown, then was surprised to feel a warmth that made me turn my head to see him give me his blazer.

“I’ve got some clothes in your wardrobe for you to wear, but you can take Alexa and El shopping if it’s not to your taste” I raised an eyebrow at his words.

“I don’t want to wear that woman’s old clothes” I quickly pointed out, thinking that the clothes he gave me were from her ex.

It was his turn to raise his eyebrows and fold his hands as if offended by my words then I looked at him smiling slightly as he let out a long sigh.

“No” He replied as he shook his head “I had Alexa and El prepare clothes for you since I found you 5 years ago” He replied as he walked ahead of me.

What?

What did he say? I was confused and rooted to my spot.

“Come on, you said you wanted to look around” I heard him call out and looked up to see him waiting for me.

Letting out a long breath because I didn’t know what exactly happened and what he was thinking that made his behavior change towards me, my steps began to advance one by one and we walked together.

Everyone we passed bowed their heads politely and greeted us respectfully.

I watch carefully to the place that looks more and more like a castle, not a house.
