Chapter 0363
If I missed it, Nicholas would undoubtedly take the cuff and make his own plans. He’d exclude me, giving me some excuse about
protection, while selflessly throwing himself into the same danger I’d
face.
I couldn’t let him do that.
So I looped my arm with Julian’s and let him lead me to the sitting room where Nicholas and Veronica were waiting. When Julian and I entered, Nicholas glared at where Julian’s arm held mine. On reflex, I retracted my arm from Julian’s.
