Chapter 232: Her wedding gift
Abrielle’s heartbeat was slow, and it felt like she couldn’t breathe properly. "Cedric, it isn’t what you think." She said as soon as Alfonso was gone.
Cedric scoffed laughing at her. "Oh really, I guess my eyes are now blind. You sent Evelyn away so that you can have a private moment with your lover." He drawled, completely amused. He could not believe he even bothered to find her after running into Evelyn.
Abrielle rushed towards his side to grab his hand. "It is not what it looked like. I was not expecting to see Alfonso. Please believe me." Cedric avoided her touch.
His eyes were cold and emotionless. "In that case, you got extra lucky to see him then. Why did you even bother looking for me?" He didn’t believe her, but what did she expect? Which man would believe her in this scenario?
"Don’t say it like that," she muttered, retreating her hand after he avoided her touch. Why did it hurt when it was expected? At least he didn’t have her pinned against the wall like how they started.
Cedric averted his eyes from her gaze, annoyed at the hurt gaze she had. Was it real or not? He could never know the answer. Abrielle was a puzzle beyond his comprehension.
"And now you are playing the victim card. Thank you for jinxing my day Abrielle Nightshade." He called her by her maiden surname which was weird. From how calm he was she could deduce he was enraged.
Was he mad because his brother was flirting with his wife he didn’t love or was Cedric Jealous? Abrielle shook her head. That was hilarious. There was no way Cedric Von Drakkar was jealous.
He turned to leave, but Abrielle was not going to let him leave Like this. She ran blocking his way. Her hands were stretched out blocking out the exit.
