Could she trust hiirl gasp She thought he would stab her, but instead, he turned it around and let her touch the handle

"Just hold this knife if you don't trust me You can kill me on the spot if I intend to hurt you"

Rowena looked at the knife and Julian in turn She accepted the knife hesitantly Maybe she could trust him If he wanted her dead, he would have abandoned her when she drowned in the river, right?

Rowena also had a knife with her, which meant she had a weapon to protect herself Finally, she nodded reluctantly She would rather use this knife to protect herself against Julian if he wanted to do anything unsavory to her, than fight so many wild animals out there

However, as the girl started sobbing, she heard a very fahing loudly clutching his sto so hard at the sight of Rowena's innocent, gullible face

"I was just joking," he said between his roaring laughter

Rowena didn't think it was funny She kept crying
