Chapter 21: You Were So Kind!
"I want to give you a birthday gift." looking at the sincere smile on her face and the weight of the frame in his hands, Damon laughed.
He had a handsome face. His smile could have won the hearts of many noble young ladies. But Olivia only felt her hair stand when he smiled at her.
He looked ominous.
"Oh my! I never knew that you were so kind." it was a sarcastic slap on her face. He was mocking her for her fake kindness.
Indeed she did not feel pity for him. Whenever she looked at him, she felt hollow.
"I am not kind!" she admitted. Faking affection for him would only make him doubt her. "And I am not affectionate to you." he blinked. The lost look on his face was worth taking the risk.
He looked so lost for a second. As he looked at her keenly and then the gift she prepared for him, she wetted her dry lips by licking them.
"But I know that you are being wronged. Anyone could see that. And my sister is responsible for it. I am sure you blame us too. I only want you to not hate me and the kids at least." he looked bemused now.
This was the first time she had seen so many expressions on his blanke face.
