Chapter 31

• Sophie woke up with a banging headache. She knew the reason for her headache was due to the fact that she had been overthinking things but she just couldn’t help it. The king was giving her mixed signals. After the night they spent together, she went days alone without seeing or hearing from him. The only people she came in contact with were the maidens who came to give her food. No one else was allowed into the apartment and the maids were still not allowed to speak to her so she couldn’t ask them what was going on in the palace. The king kept his promise though and the maids brought a couple of books for her and also some knitting equipment. She already started reading the books but for knitting, she still has not found the will to start.
• Sophie still had no idea where she stood, the king never spoke to her about the missing diamond since that first night and also, he never sent anyone to question or anything, it was as if he completely forgot what happened and he was just keeping her around. She didn’t know what to make of it either.
• It was one thing to be holding her because she is a potential thief and it is another thing to be holding her like he was doing, providing all she needs, sending her to the clinic for checkup when he doesn’t even know he is the father of her unborn baby. The highlight of it all was him telling her he feels comfortable in her presence. Over the last couple of days, she has been having the same thoughts over and over again, each time, she ends up giving up and just going with the flow but that didn’t stop her from thinking about it and the fact that she was always alone did not help her case.
