The True Heiress Returns (Tilda Jenson) novel Chapter 177

Chapter 177 A Secret Only We Share

Tilda said, “I understand.”

Just like that, the tense moment faded away.

Dane picked up the writing board again. He scribbled. “You two, please leave.”

For once, a trace of displeasure crossed Dane’s face.

I had finally reunited with Tilda.

And now these two have to barge in.

So annoying.

“Hmm…

River glanced at Manfred, unsure what to do.

Manfred looked troubled, too.

He was torn.

If something happened to Dane, how could they explain it to the higher–ups?

“It’s okay, Dane,” Tilda said gently. “Let them stay. I actually have a few questions for you both.”

She turned to Dane. “You can’t speak?”

That was the question weighing on Tilda’s mind.

Dane hesitated a little, then he wrote, “I only talk to mentors.”

Manfred explained, “Queen, we’ve had Professor Kerrigan checked from head to toe. His vocal cords work perfectly, he hears fine, and he can understand everything written or spoken. We just don’t know why… he can’t actually talk.”

Tilda’s heart jolted in surprise.

Maybe Dane was just like her?

A special blood type, which gave him incredible talents but also brought a harsh side effect.

This wasn’t something Tilda wanted to bring up, not with Manfred and River here.

If it were true, it was a very private matter to discuss.

The group chatted for a while.

Manfred and River slowly relaxed, but they couldn’t ignore how much Dane cared about Tilda.

What if he wanted to be alone with her again?

Sure enough, Dane wrote again on his board.

“You two, please leave. I want to talk to Tilda alone.”

“Mr. Parker …‘

River looked at Manfred, clearly troubled.

Usually, Tilda and Dane weren’t supposed to meet for so long.

They only got this much time because Dane requested it–and because Lab Seven wanted to stay on Tilda’s good side.

If they kept pushing, it would cross a line.

Dane was way too important. Not just to the research lab, but to the whole country.

No one had ever seen that look on his face before.

To Manfred and the others, Dane was always so calm and expressionless–like a robot, except when he was doing experiments.

But now, after reuniting with Tilda, Dane was finally showing some real human feelings.
