Chapter 29：Should I just give up? (2/2)
”He travels?” Olivia asked again because she knew that Cedric was not comfortable with traveling. He used to only do it when he was visiting her, that too using the family's private plane. Cedric hated the crowd and exposing his identity as a Prince, so most of the time he would keep a low profile.
Now that Will thought about it, he and Cedric traveled to country D with Cedric wearing his usual disguise. So it was no wonder that no one misunderstood him as Gavin, who was popular in that country. It might also have to do with the fact that they only stayed there briefly for about three hours if he remembers correctly. That was when Cedric sneaked out for some air and found Brione.
”Should I just give up now, Will? I know something is very off but I can't pinpoint what it is. By the way, when will you and Cedric return to the island?”
Will honestly wanted to answer, 'Tomorrow morning at most since the man seems to can't be parted with Brione if not only because he thought his father is very ill.'
Instead, he said, ”I'm not sure Olivia. It would be better if you ask him. I don't have any instructions from him as of yet. You know how he sometimes makes decisions spontaneously.”
Cedric did not contact her for an entire year but she never failed to check on him. However, his father, The King, said that Cedric was very busy studying and doing a lot of work as he would transfer the throne to Cedric very soon.
Olivia respected that, so she did not disturb Cedric but she was disappointed that Cedric did not even bother to visit her once after that year. And now he seemed to have turned into a cold person towards her. She was hurting badly and she knew that the best thing to do right now was to give up but she also felt that things were not as simple as they seemed to be.
”Please inform me when you will go back to the island. I want to go with you just like old days. I miss the palace and everything about the island,” Olivia added when there was no response from Will.
”You won't give up?” Will asked. He intentionally did not answer her question before because he didn't know what to say. He too could feel something was wrong.
What if Brione was right? What if Cedric is Gavin? Then Olivia would still have a chance but where was Cedric? But there was another thing… What if like Dr. Cain said, this Cedric was the real Cedric and the changes in his personality were just his alter ego or another side of him which he had not shown?
Will exhaled loudly. He was feeling dizzy because of all the questions inside his head.
He looked at his watch to check the time because later tonight, he was expecting the result of the DNA test he had requested. With that, they would find out if The King and the current Cedric were related to each other by blood or not. It was one of the first things Cedric had asked him to do and it was not an easy task since they had to do it confidentially in another country untouched by the power of the Royal Family.
”What's with the sigh? I don't know what to do yet so I cannot answer if I plan to give up or not. For now, I will just observe the situation and be with him like I used to before… as close friends…” She said the last two words with much difficulty as she found it hard to breathe after saying it.
