Charlton received the bottle as he opened it to drink some water "Yes, I did Why?"

"Did you know that Serena also signed with theht So, he raised his brow "Yeah, what of it? Did she not tell you?"

Geoffrey sighed "She did earlier But I did not like it Did you know that she signed for 3 years? Was it she or Edho set that duration?"

"I believe it was Serena"

"I thought so" Geoffrey replied as he shook his head "Anyway, I want to ask you for a favor Can I trust you?"

Charlton did not reply at once as he felt his heart make a thue "Of course, what is it?"

Geoffrey took a moment as he deciphered the next words to say He trusts Charlton, but his cousin was still a ht fancy him did not sit ith him

"I want you to ensure that no one should ever covet what is mine"

Charlton did not like how Geoffrey pertained to Serena as his, like she was some object of his possession However, he knew that he could not voice it nor show it Also, he understood what Geoffrey was truly saying, that when heto him For with Serena's status, ould even think of it? However, he pretended not to catch what he ly responded with, "And should anyone dare?"

Geoffrey did not laugh, nor did he smile at him Instead, he just looked at him in all seriousness

"I trust you Charlton, and I hope that you would never break that trust"
