Hellbound With You novel Chapter 731

Chapter 731 - Fickle

The moment Lilith turned, her entire being froze.

Those grey eyes gleaming at her in the dark, that thick head of dark hair... that face... despite the darkness, there was just no way Lilith could not recognize him. This boy... this person... it was just impossible for her to mistake someone else for him. Kyle... what... what was he doing here of all places? Why was he even here?!

At that instant, Lilith heard his voice in her mind. ’I will do everything I can to avoid you... so do everything you can not to cross paths with me ever again... please don’t let me see you again...’ She remembered how when he had said those words back then, her heart had shaken so hard that it hurt. Until today, she could still very clearly remember.

As those words echoed in her mind, Lilith felt her heart shiver a little and she averted her gaze and quickly looked down to the ground, feigning not to see the person sitting against the tree trunk at all.

"Goddamn tree!" she hissed out as she pushed herself up, brushing herself down from the dirt that had clung to her clothes when she fell. She was doing her very best to act as normal as she could, pretending to be angry and huffing away at the ’accident’ she had.

But just as she was about to leave, she heard his baritone voice echoing from behind her.

"What are you doing here, little witch?" he questioned her, and Lilith’s eyes almost bulged out from their sockets in utter shock. Did he recognize her? No way?! How could he see through her disguise spell?! That was just... that was just impossible!

Lilith could not stop herself from whipping around. He was now right before her. He towered over her, causing Lilith to subconsciously take a step back. He... he had grown even taller in the time that she had not seen him.

Now that he was closer, Lilith immediately noticed his expression as he looked at her. He looked a bit confused as he scrutinised her face.

That alone made Lilith feel a little relieved. YES!! He did not manage to recognize her yet! But why did he call out to her as a little witch?! Lilith could never forget that it was the very same line he had used to call out to her that very first time they had met in the Reigns’ castle.

"I... I’m lost..." Lilith tried her best to respond as normally as she could – as a human, that is. She even forced herself to step back again, knowing that this would be the normal action that a human would do at times like this.

He raised a brow and then eyed her from her head to toe. Lilith took another step back when he did that. Even though she knew that he was not looking at her that way because of some nasty reason, Lilith still acted like she was wary of him now.

Her reaction seemed to erase whatever confusion he had on his face, and he sighed and walked past her.

"Follow me," he said simply and when Lilith did not move to follow him, he looked over his shoulder lazily. "I don’t know how you even ended up here, but if I were you, I’d follow me, because if not..." he glanced behind her, "you might end up being lost forever."
