Claire's heart skipped a beat. She quickly withdrew her gaze and seemingly calmly continued tidying the desk. She didn't dare look up again. Her mind kept flashing back to Eden's expression just now. As a young girl, she was afraid.
It was also the first time she felt the violent aura around this man, especially that expression just now. Although they had often bumped into each other before, she hadn't noticed it... But today he gave off a hellish feeling.
This bizarre yet icy aura was related to the changing situation?
Was Eden about to show his true colors? Or would he take action? What exactly was he pondering?
Suddenly, Claire heard footsteps. She looked up and saw Eden walking towards her with his gloomy gaze fixed on her.
She tried her best to restrain her inner panic and withdrew her gaze to continue tidying the desk.
But as Eden approached, Claire's heart nearly jumped to her throat.
Just as she struggled to stay calm and wondered what he would do or ask and how she should respond, another set of footsteps sounded from the other side.
Claire turned and saw Rowan appear in her line of sight, walking this way.
Rowan only glanced at her briefly before looking towards Eden.
At this moment, Eden had stopped two meters away from Claire and also looked at Rowan.
"Uncle, do you have time now?" Rowan's tone was slightly sad, his voice low, and obvious misty tears shimmered in his eyes.
Eden nodded, then followed him out of the palace.
Before leaving, Rowan calmly glanced at Claire once more.
Claire watched the two departing backs. The suspense in her heart finally eased a little. That was really close just now.
