A13chapter 10 Part2 (1/2)

Stupid woman--- Her body reacted instinctively to those words It was like a spell Only Arthur alone would call her that, and itto her

It won't do No one can replace Arthur Not even the man in front of her

A sharp needle prickled her chest Her lips trein to drop She quickly wiped the droplets away but the tears won't stop gushi+ng out

”It's alright now It won't happen again”

Duarte pulled her into a gentle eain

”That incident will never happen again”

Concern showed on his face He did not understand why he is feeling this way, but there's one thing he is sure of She brought change to his jet-black heart

He refuse to believe it He refuse to admit it

The evening breeze rustled the leaves Lin Ling finally cal finally went back to normal

The sunlight shone through the white curtains and into the sweet-sh When she opened her eyes, it was already a new day She put on so then pulled the curtains Although it is now late autuht and warm

She does not like the sun here

It was too hot Too extravagant

She heard a crunching noise, and the door swung open Lin Ling turned her head towards the sound instinctively It was Percival who came in with her breakfast He put down her ly asked

”Did anything happened at the palace yesterday?”

Lin Ling was surprised at first Duarte would probably not tattle the incident to anyone else, so she shook her head in panic

”I'm fine Why?”

”Oh, okay then”

He turned to leave, but stopped as soon as he got to the doorway

”The eirls, so”

He sighed quietly

”As long you're fine, then everything is good”

She reave her before she left, and warmth filled her heart She blurted out her thanks to him

He did not reply her Percival merely left the room and was about to lock the door when she heard Duarte's voice

”Wait a moment”

Since he saved her yesterday, Lin Ling's evaluation of the Dark Duke is somewhat better now Thus, she was not as hateful towards his

”Lin Ling, are you feeling better today?”

He seeood mood today

That horrifying scene flashed in front of her eyes for a brief moment

”About that, thank you for saving me”

”Then, what do you plan to do now?”
