Chapter 118 Taking Responsibility

• We arrived back at Lucien’s mansion a little late for dinner. However, Lucien seemed to be in an extraordinarily good mood. This seemed too good to be real, so it probably was. Something must be bothering him, and I had a very educated guess of what it was. I wasn’t sure if he had overheard Edward and I making love, but I sincerely hope not. This was a question that I will never broach with him unless he brought it up himself. Guessing from how Lucien is feigning to be in an overly good mood, if he figured it out, he didn’t want to directly discuss or cause an argument about it.
• I should just play along for now. If I’m obedient and well behaved, perhaps he will slowly forget and forgive what happened. Regardless of whether he could hear us over the phone or not; Lucien must be mad that I went to Edwards’s house without his permission. It was not like he didn’t suspect my relationship with Edward before. Sorry Lucien, I managed to hurt you again. I sighed softly as I sat down at the dinner table, hoping that Lucien did not realize.
• Reiner stood politely at the corner of the room as he watched over Lucien and me. I felt very uncomfortable with how Lucien was acting. All I could do was silently pray that things will turn out for the better.
