Chapter 10：Jab In His Heart (1/2)

This time he panicked a bit when he witnessed Brione's expression. Her eyes were still brimming with tears, staring at him in disbelief.

She cupped his face and insisted, ”No! Something's not right here. There must be a reason you're doing this! You are definitely my Gavin! I grew up with you so I will definitely know if it's you or not. Please stop doing this Gavin. You may have your reasons…

I will listen to everything you say okay? So please don't say that you are not Gavin. Tell me what's going on? Why are you here? Explain everything to me. Is it something confidential? Is it something you must hide? Wait, don't you remember me? Did you get amnesia and lose your memories because of that accident on the ship? I'm so happy that you're alive and you survived that incident.”

Cedric's face darkened as he fell into deep thought, hearing these words from Brione triggered something within him.

”Your highness,” Cedric's head bodyguard, Kevin, interrupted his thoughts when he approached the area two meters away from him. His bodyguards were everywhere, quietly looking out for him. But Cedric signaled Kevin to disperse from his sight.

Cedric sighed and helplessly looked at Brione. The woman was obviously not convinced that he was not Gavin. He eased the atmosphere by giving her a formal smile and said, ”Let's go back to the palace first. We need to treat your wound and put an ointment on your bruise. I'm sure you can't afford to have any scar on your skin. Your fans will hate seeing it, especially me...”

”Can you walk or do you want me to carry you?” Cedric added when he thought about how good it felt when he carried her. He wished that all those feelings from Brione were for him and because of who he was and not because he was mistaken as the man she longed for.

Realizing what she was doing, Brione quickly composed herself and wiped the tears on her face. But she still couldn't take her eyes off the man in front of her as she whispered, ”I don't know what's going on and I'm really confused right now but I'm sure you are Gavin. My heart tells me that you're my Gavin… The man I love...”

Cedric heaved a sigh and said, ”Didn't you hear that man from before addressing me as 'Your Highness'? He's Kevin, the head of my security team. So I'm telling you once again that I'm Cedric and not Gavin. Let's continue our talk properly over breakfast. I'm sure you are exhausted from running and probably hungry.”

Brione was not convinced by his explanation. Yes, she did not know what was going on but she could feel it in her heart that the man before her was Gavin! There must be some reason he's hiding his identity and she would make sure to find out about it soon.

She was finally back to her senses and could feel the stinging pain of the wound on her knee. Her face contorted due to the pain so she bit her lower lip to calm herself.

Cedric noticed how she cringed her face so he mumbled with a frown, ”This won't do. Let's go back as soon as possible and I will carry you whether you like it or not!”
