Chapter 272: Who was the enemy?
"Elliana, sweety, how are you feeling now?" Ruth asked in her overly sweet voice, and Elliana, who had heard of her intentions when she had read Miss Zoya’s thoughts, pressed her lips into a thin line.
Anyone would believe this lady was a good person and your well-wishers if you didn’t know what goes inside her head.
"I am feeling much better. Thank you for asking," Elliana walked towards the main hall.
"Is Mr. Marino not here?" She asked, looking around, and Angelo who was passing by, ruffled her hair, making her look at him with raised horrified eyes.
"Angelo, what is this behavior? Is this how you treat a lady?" Carla scowled at him, and he smirked.
"Mom, she is barely a girl," Angelo grinned.
"Your Mr. Marino is having a meeting with the king about the sirens that have been lurking on the borders. He will be late. Do you want me to relay some kind of message?" Angelo wriggled his brows, and Elliana smiled awkwardly before shaking her head.
"Stop bothering her, Angelo. Elliana, come here. Have some fun with us," Matilda invited Elliana to their table, and she nodded before walking to them.
Elliana looked at their glasses and seeing them causally sipping blood, she lowered her gaze to her foot.
Everything here reminds her of how Mr. Marino has been the best with her and respects her species even when he practically hates them. Not once did he drink any kind of blood in front of her knowing all too well that it would make her uncomfortable.
They call him a monster when he is the sweetest man she knows.
