Chapter 763: The Woman I love
"Isis! This is a pleasant surprise," Rafael said, gesturing for her to sit across from him.
Dora walked over and sat down, her eyes never leaving his. "Is it? I doubt you’ll say that when you hear what I have to say."
Rafael raised an eyebrow, settling back in his chair. "That sounds ominous," he replied, watching her closely. She simply smiled, staring at him without a word. And then continued to stare as he waited for her to continue.
He shifted in his seat, leaning forward slightly. "Are you going to sit there and stare at me? I know I’m beautiful, but I’m sure you appreciate Kael’s beauty more."
"Of course," she said tartly. "His beauty has a depth of character that I’ve recently discovered you lack."
Rafael winced, rubbing the back of his neck. "Ouch. I see what you meant about the surprise part. Was there really a need for the barb? Okay. So, Kael finally told you everything?"
The woman shot him a look as if to say, ’duh’ and Rafael almost cowered. Dam* it! He was actually older than Isis but somehow, she’d succeeded in making him feel like a little school kid being scolded by the principal. He sighed and ran a hand over his face," Okay okay. I understand that you are angry on behalf of KAel, but I really have changed, hmm? No need to look at me like I am an insect you would like to squish under your heel"
"What is your game, Prince Rafael?"
"My game?" Rafael asked, trying to stall for time. Truthfully, he had not expected such direct confrontation.
