177 I Canst Wai (2/2)

”What is it all about? It was still four in the morning when you sent me a message. Were you not able to sleep? ” Koko tried to initiate the conversation for her to talk out.

”I'm dying to talk to you alone but I can't as of now. Ko,promise me that after our talk, you won't condemn me. ” Jia said desperately.

”And are you sure that it can wait? ” Koko 's voice sounded so worried.

”Yes, it can wait. ” She replied briefly as a lump began to form in her throat.

She then ended the call and hurried to get away.

”But I can't wait! ” Anthon's voice rang into her ears.

She glanced back and there wasAnthon towering over her. Her heart went drumming crazily again but she tried hard to conceal it and acted as if nothing happened.

”Hi, ton! ” She smiled sweetly as she paused for a while, ignoring what he said.

'How's Giselle? ” She added, trying to look worried.

Anthon did not answer. He looked straight into her eyes and his gaze harbored a sense of danger.

”Don't change the topic.” He said imperatively.

Suddenly,she did not know what to say. She was still overwhelmed by her shame andwas not prepared yet in this confrontation.

After a moment of silence, she finally found her words. ”Please excuse me, Ton. Jianna... ”

To her relief,Anthon did not insist. She swiftly fled from his sight and went back to their room.

Later in their breakfast which wasagain set up outside at around seven,everyone had already gathered around except Anthon and Giselle.

”I am really hopeful that these two would end uptogether with each other. ” Casey smiled confidently.

”Would our Anthon care that she is somewhat a mistress and the ex - girlfriend of his brother? ” Mr. Wayne spoke out his doubts.

”Dad, it really doesn't matter if he would learn to love and accept her as she is. And besides, they are already close friends since high school.” Jim wanted to remind him of their own tragic experience just because of his disapproval and non - acceptance.

As they were exchanging opinions about Giselle's personal background,Anthon and Giselle appeared at a distance. Giselle was holding on to Anthon's shoulder while Anthon was wrapping his arm around her waist.
