Betrayed by Blood: My Second Life as a Queen novel Chapter 248

If so, did Elias know?

With this thought in mind, Willow didn't immediately hang up. Instead, she began strategizing how to test him.

Elias completely misread the situation. His deeply furrowed brow relaxed, and the corners of his lips curved upward in delight.

Willow was actually talking to him civilly, and she had even been the one to suggest an abortion.

Did this mean she was satisfied with how he had been behaving lately?

The mere thought made Elias feel infinitely lighter.

He knew it. Willow truly loved him. No matter what he had done, as long as he coaxed her a little, she would always forgive him. This time would be no different.

Smiling, he softened his voice. "Willow, I want to talk. Are you willing to see me?"

Willow's eyes shifted thoughtfully, and she nodded. "When?"

Elias's heart soared, terrified she might change her mind. "Right now, if that's okay? Should I come pick you up?"

"Just text me the address. I don't need you to chauffeur me." If it weren't for the sake of uncovering the truth, Willow wouldn't have even entertained the idea of seeing him. Just looking at him made her sick.

Elias had absolutely no idea what was going through her head and misunderstood yet again. He assumed Willow cared about him and didn't want him driving back and forth unnecessarily.

His heart melted completely, and his tone turned even more affectionate. "Willow, you're always so considerate..."

Willow was profoundly nauseated. "I'm hanging up. Text me the location."

With that, she ended the call.

Willow never could have imagined that her blatant disgust would be interpreted by Elias as shyness.

When they finally met, Elias was thoroughly convinced that they were about to get back together.

Too bad for him, delusional men always put on the best shows.

Willow didn't even bother changing her clothes. She just splashed some water on her face and walked out the door.

Right before leaving, she snapped a photo of her Silver Keepsake Locket, a wicked glint in her eyes.
