Chapter 344 - 341: Truth, Lies, Love, And Hate V (1/2)

After Charlton talked to his parents and told them about what happened in the house of lords, his mother almost fainted. Chances were, tomorrow his father would be accused of treason and would soon be facing trial. It was a heavy charge punishable by death.

They discussed which document could be possibly used against his father, but his father could not think of any. They tried to talk how to resolve it but came up with nothing as they did not even know where to start. In the end, his father reassured them that everything would be fine.

The talk, food, and shower has been good for Charlton. He was brought out of the muddle headedness he has been experiencing.

As he returned to his room and lied on his bed, his mind again drifted back to Serena and what happened. Unlike the last 3 days, he tried to think objectively. He thought of their conversation from the start and not just focusing on her cheating on him. Just in case he missed something.

It does not matter when she started having feelings for Geoffrey, for it may have been a gradual development. Perhaps every time she was playing her role as his fiancée, she was already falling for him. But how about physical intimacy?

Why was it that when she thought of herself being pregnant, she thought of him first? Did she only have sex with Geoffrey recently? Was it because she was afraid that he would not take responsibility? It was so twisted. For clearly, she has been honest with him and even told him that the time they did it was right after her period. Now that part was so strange.

He shook his head. In the overall summary of things, it does not matter. She still chose to do that. She still…

Then he remembered the look of terror on her face, the way she tried to convince him to run away, why? Those were very uncharacteristic of her, and he remembered that at that time, he felt like there was something disturbing about it. Was there some foul play? But she had been in the confines of her home the whole time.

Was this just his desperation talking again? Still, he needed to give himself, their relationship, another chance.

He needs to talk to her. However, with how things ended last time, would she even talk to him? Perhaps, Leonard might even kill him before he can reach 2 meters from her. He hit his head with his hand. What he needed to find were evidence. He needs to investigate what might have happened to her. There's a possibility that everything he was thinking were only his own conjectures because of the wishful thinking that Serena did not purposely cheat on him on her right mind.

But how does he do that? The only person capable of finding out what fucking happened in that house was Leonard. Leonard. He needed to talk to Leonard but the only way that Leonard would even face him would be in the ministry or the house of lords.

If he even attempts to go to their mansion, he was afraid he would only be chased out like a dog. Perhaps, he should try to capture him off guard so they would be able to talk like civilized citizens.
