Chapter 16
Inside the mansion, Aiden was making his way toward his quarters.
The quiet halls echoed with the footsteps of a few busy servants.
Yes. This was his world.
"I feel like my ears are going to start bleeding."
And yet, the corners of his mouth wouldn’t stop twitching upward. Ears bleeding—where did she even learn such an amusing expression?
Aiden cleared his throat a few times, trying to suppress the rising smile.
Fortunately, he managed to hide it. But he couldn’t stop the thoughts flooding his mind.
Why had his once-merciless master suddenly taken his side?
Could it be... she had truly changed?
No. No way. Something this trivial...
He forced himself to recall that day when he was seventeen.
The day she had hurled insults at him. The day she had thrown things at him.
