"Jealous?" He looked at the little woman, capturing the word "jealous" from her lips for the first time. She was jealous.
Why did this make him feel so good inside?
She was jealous because... she cared about him?
"Alright, I won't have contact with other women." He nodded in agreement. Upon reflection, when had there been any other women around him besides her?!
"That's more like it." She hugged him, acting coquettishly for a moment. "Then I'm leaving, see you in a few days." Uncle's injury wasn't light, it seemed quite serious.
"I'll have someone escort you back to the Sovereign Capital." Lucas Knight worried about her returning alone, so he planned to have Harry North arrange bodyguards to escort her.
After all, she's unfamiliar with A City around here. This woman has always been directionally challenged, unable to distinguish north from south once she steps out the door. How did she even find the courage to come to A City alone?
