Chapter 136: She Knows
Xavier gazed at Iris, who remained silent beside him. He saw her face slowly turning gloomy as she looked at the distant forest.
He followed her line of sight, curious about what had suddenly put her in a bad mood. However, he saw nothing but an endless forest covered in white snow.
’Did she see something I can’t see?’ Xavier was stunned just thinking about it. He turned his head to look at her once more.
"Iris, why do you look upset? Is something bothering you now?" He couldn’t help but ask. And, when his gaze met her worried eyes. It made him even more convinced she was in a bad mood.
Xavier felt frustrated because he couldn’t read what was on her mind, what she was thinking. Only with her, he feels powerless, like now.
Iris was stunned when she saw the worry in Xavier’s gaze. She quickly answered, "No, nothing. I’m fine—"
She tried to smile at him, even though she knew her smile didn’t reach her eyes. She was in a bad mood after attempting to remember her lost memories but failing.
Xavier didn’t ask any more questions, though he could guess that Iris wasn’t telling him the truth.
"We’d better go back. You could catch a cold if you stay in this place for too long," Xavier said, then walked toward the house.
Iris followed him from behind. After just a few minutes of walking, she could hear the sound of a car slowly approaching from a distance. She turned toward the driveway and saw a familiar black car driving towards the house.
"Why is my car—" Before Iris could finish her sentence, Xavier stopped walking and turned to her.
