Chapter 436: More of Her Warmth
The Queen Mother finally dismissed Dani and Abel after a few more discussions about certain things. All the while, Abel’s grip on Dani’s hand remained. Surprisingly, she didn’t say a thing or even throw him a glare, so he smiled in satisfaction as they walked while holding hands.
"I’m sorry," Dani suddenly murmured.
Blinking, Abel turned to face her, his brows furrowed as he asked, "Huh?"
"I didn’t know anything," she mumbled as she stared at the ground. "I even brought up your past."
Abel creased his forehead, but a playful smile soon carved itself onto his lips as he moved his hand to hold her chin and tilt it up so that Dani would face him.
"Hmm... If only I knew you’d be kinder like this," he chuckled. "I should’ve told you the tragic story of my past earlier."
Dani had asked about his family in front of the Queen Mother, and only there did she find out that he was an abandoned baby. She didn’t know the exact details, however, since she also quickly changed the topic.
Dani narrowed her eyes as she ignored his teasing. "Tell me then," she told him. "I want to know your story, Abel..."
His expression changed immediately. This time, he was the one blinking at her because he couldn’t believe what she just said. Was she interested in finding out more about him? It was something that Rosela didn’t even bother to do so. She only knew of him having nightmares at times, but she didn’t even bother asking him about it.
