Chapter 288: The Knight’s Journal
Arthur listened to her call and walked to her side. It seemed like she’s trying to reduce the damage of Lord Lockhart’s announcement.
She doesn’t have hope that it will turn well, right? Iris... You might want to face the consequences of your actions, but I won’t let you suffer. It’s a promise.
"Take a nap,Iris" he picked her up from the couch and placed her on the bed.
Talia didn’t protest his actions. He was warm, just being out of shower and he had nothing on, except the towel around his waist. She leaned on his chest that was firm like a rock and his chest hairs tingled her ears as her cheeks got warmed by his warmth.
"Lie with me," she held his hand after he gently placed her in the bed. Her mind was entirely fatigued as she pondered over various possibilities. "Don’t leave me, Fred." she gripped his hand tighter and her voice shook.
She didn’t have much worries except the fear that Arthur might not handle everything that comes with her and leaves her. Even she cannot blame him if he wants a peaceful life.
"I’m not going to..." he sat beside her and hugged her. "Ever."
He will choose going down with her rather than thriving without her by his side. Why would he want the colourless life without her?
"Wait... I’ll bring you some clothes. The towel is wet. You might catch a cold." he stood up kissing her forehead.
