Mated To The Cruel Prince novel Chapter 219

Chapter 219: [Bonus Chapter]Hiding Something

"You’re oddly quiet," Aldric pointed out, lifting his wine glass in Andre’s direction, appearing relaxed in his seat, yet vigilant enough to observe the change in his brother’s countenance.

Andre lowered his spoon onto the table, pushing the dish farther from him, "Perhaps, it’s time we had the conversation and preferably, in privacy." He answered, his eyes straying towards Islinda.

Islinda in question noticed the unspoken conversation between them, meeting his gaze before shifting to Aldric’s. She told both Fae’s, "Don’t worry, the two of you can talk freely in my presence, it’s not like I have someone to share the details with. You made sure of it, didn’t you, Aldric?" She gave him a sickly sweet smile, revealing she was a prisoner in his castle.

"I don’t know why you are suddenly acting bitter towards me, darling Isla -"

"Don’t call me that!" She barked, gripping the spoon tight while sitting ramrod straight, and glared at him.

Yet Aldric was not bothered by her rigid posture and the fact she might stab him with that spoon, that is if she could get close enough.

He went ahead to say, "Is it that time of the month, that weird period for human females, or has Andre’s presence triggered you and suddenly realized you miss a certain someone? I thought with what happened between us, darling, that you moved past that?" He signed dramatically, palm on his forehead.

"Aldric," Islinda hissed in warning, her gaze drifting guiltily towards Andre. He was dead if the Autumn Prince caught wind of what happened.

Sadly, it was too late.

"What happened between you two?" Andre asked, scrutinizing the both of them.

"Oh, you wouldn’t want to know," Aldric stifled his laughter. However, the seed of curiosity had been planted in Andre’s mind and he turned to Islinda, seeking answers.

Islinda felt uncomfortable under Andre’s steady look and she bit down on her lips nervously.

"Tell me Islinda, what happened between the both of you?" He coaxed her to open up with his soothing voice.

But Islinda turned the other way, refusing to meet his eyes. It was embarrassing as it was already, and she didn’t want to share the details, especially with ’Valerie’s brother’.

However, Andre interpreted her reluctance to speak as something else and his eyes suddenly darkened with rage. At once, he turned Islinda by the shoulder and when she looked at him in surprise at the force he used, Andre pinched her chin in between his fingers.

He growled, "Tell me Islinda, did he force himself on you? Did he...." Andre swallowed past the lump in his throat, "Touch you without consent?" He implored her to speak with his softening eyes.

"Yes, tell him, darling. Did I do something to you that you didn’t like," Aldric only served to fan the flames he started in the first place by opening his big mouth?

"Well, did I?" Aldric pressed her, obviously having fun. freewebnσvel.cѳm
