Chapter 12: Suspiciously too nice
Abrielle's hands were indeed shaking in Cedric's hands. She was scared of the devil, she tried her best to control her facial expression but her body gave her out.
"I didn't do anything wrong, it is freezing out here." She came with the first lie her head could think of leaving Cedric a bit stunned. She was a good liar because the weather was a bit cold but she should be warm under all the layers she was wearing.
"I am sorry but you just have to bear with it. The trip will not be too long." Cedric replied, giving Abrielle the illusion he believed her, but her guard was still up. There was no way she would believe him.
Cedric personally pulled a seat for Abrielle. She narrowed her eyes at him as she took her seat. He was suspiciously nice for someone she attempted to poison.
Cedric smiled charmingly at her as he took his seat opposite her on the circular table they were set for breakfast. The dishes were already piping hot. The kitchen probably thought they had a long night yesterday.
"How was your night? You look like you didn't have any sleep." Cedric started a conversation. Abrielle pursed her lips from being left horny to bumping her shoulders on the bed and having a long sleepless night. Her night was horrible.
"The night was cold, and I felt lonely after your Highness left and couldn't sleep because I was worried about you." Abrielle lied so naturally that the goddess would collapse from her lies.
The next plan is to act like a caring wife so that he would be less suspicious of her while she thinks of ways to get rid of him.
Cedric smiled at her. She didn't know if he believed her or not, but it was a good sign. "I am glad you missed me during the night, it makes me glad that my runaway bride now has a change of heart." He replied the maid was helping them serve the first course on their plates.
