Betrayed By The Hero, Loved By The Lord novel Chapter 228

Chapter 228: Trick (1)

"I think I should stay with you a little. Can you hear me?" Isaac asked, snapping his fingers near Xavier’s ear.

Xavier grabbed Isaac’s hand to make him stop. "I am quite close to breaking your hand and cutting out your tongue. I can hear you a little too well," he released Isaac.

"I can’t help it. You were scaring me while you were resting. You’re not going to suddenly go deaf, are you? It’s not impossible and I don’t want the Blackthorns coming after me thinking I did this to you," said Isaac.

Isaac already had enough problems with the attacks and someone looking for what he borrowed from the court. He couldn’t have the Blackthorns questioning him about Xavier’s hearing.

"Did you tell anyone we were meeting today?" Isaac asked, thinking he could hide he had been with Xavier for so long.

Xavier got out of the carriage and went up to the front door where Harold was waiting for him. "You are on my estate you fool. Harold, where is Selene?"

"The lady and your mother went for a ride for Selene to see more of the land. They not long set off with Lucas, Agnes, and the others before you arrived. Should I send someone for her?" Harold asked.

"No," Xavier replied, not wanting to disturb her. "See Isaac off and have blood ready for them when they return. I will also need you to send a servant to my grandfather’s home to inform him dinner is set for tomorrow night."

Isaac rubbed his ear as though he was the one who could lose his hearing. "Come again. You are inviting Orlork Blackthorn to dinner? That would mean he is awake."

"See him off now, Harold. He is annoying me," Xavier said, leaving Isaac without answers.

Harold walked out to see Isaac off. "You are annoying Lord Blackthorn."

Having to speak with Harold was enough reason for Isaac to leave. He was better off visiting another time to ask Xavier about his grandfather.

Isaac stopped. ’What am I thinking? I shouldn’t come back here. He’s going to lose his hearing and I am going to lose my mind.’

Away from the front door, Xavier walked upstairs toward his bedroom. Before Selene and his mother returned, he wanted to get some rest.

The pain in his ear was no longer there and his hearing was back to normal but with nothing else to do, he could only sleep now as he waited for Selene.

Xavier discarded his shirt when he entered the room and walked right to the bed. He laid down, closing his eyes to drift off to sleep. He woke hours later to a sound in the room.

Upon opening his eyes, Xavier saw Selene getting changed into attire more suited for bed not too far from where he laid.

"When did you return?" Xavier asked, his gaze set on Selene.

Selene looked at the bed and smiled. "Not long ago. I didn’t want to wake you. Did I?"

"No," Xavier sat up. He looked around the room.

"I was coming to join you but I had to get changed first," said Selene.

"What are you doing?" Selene yelled, trying to pry his hands off of her. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}
