Chapter 137

Ethlyn immediately realized what she ended up speaking in all this mess, but she wasn't regretting it. It had bound to happen, right? Either this way or that way, she had to tell him. And what mattered the most was to clear the misunderstanding that she unintentionally created in his mind in the process of making him jealous.
"And I'm not protecting Nathan right now because I'm concerned for him. I'm protecting him because I'm concerned for you because I don't want him to do anything in anger which isn't required at all." Ethlyn explained and removed her hand from her mouth. She waited for his response for a while, but it never came, maybe because he was still trying to absorb what he had just heard.
Calvin wouldn't lie, but Ethlyn's confession made his knees weak. 'I love you, duffer.' The words circled in his head. So, he couldn't move or react; just simply stared at Ethlyn without even blinking his eyes.
