Chapter 26: Misery (3)
He made a face that said, “How on earth does Jane know this?” and then quickly hardened his expression, realizing his mistake. Unfortunately for him, I was someone who could catch even those fleeting moments.
Liam smiled bitterly as he watched my trained observational skills catch that brief slip. This was entirely his own doing, and it was also his misfortune.
If he didn’t want to get caught, he shouldn’t have come to me in such an unguarded state. It’s like he’s begging me to notice. In truth, he came running in out of fear. With so many secrets that he’s afraid to reveal, why did he come to me?

I didn’t hold back my laughter this time. I laughed hollowly.

“You weren’t planning to tell me unless I found out on my own, were you?”
He mumbled something briefly. I wasn’t going to give him a chance to make excuses. I shot back at him relentlessly.
