The Protector (The Return Of The God of War) novel Chapter 3564

Chapter 3564 Was It Really Gloria

It had to be said that Floyd’s attempt to turn the tables proved efficacious.

The part where he said “our relationship has completely changed,” in particular, shifted Forlevia’s understanding of the situation.

That was because she had previously questioned his relationship with the woman from the Ecclesiastic Order. At the time, Floyd clearly told her he had cut off contact with the woman.

Therefore, her first interpretation of the phrase “our relationship has completely changed” was that the pair had moved from being almost lovers to strangers.

However, what Floyd actually meant was that what he once thought was unattainable had turned into reality. They were now a married couple who shared the same bed.

Of course, that was just what Floyd thought. It was nothing more than an illusion.

After a brief pause, Floyd continued, “Moreover, Master sent word that some people from the Holy Guild said Xylas could be cultivating evil arts from the deviant clans. Evie, I don’t know what else to say at this point. Once the seed of doubt gets planted, it’s difficult to uproot it.”

Forlevia could not bear to see Floyd looking miserable.

“I didn’t mean to doubt you, Floyd. It’s just that it’s such a strange situation, and I need to eliminate all suspicions. I spoke too presumptuously earlier. Please forgive me.”

After all, Floyd is Daddy’s beloved disciple and only second to me in terms of the base’s core combat prowess. Hence, I’ve no wish to create a rift between us. He seems sure he didn’t disclose anything to others. Indeed, he sounded very confident in the latter part of his explanation and didn’t appear to be lying. His initial nerves were likely because he remembered how everyone once suspected him. What with the anger within him and the feeling of being wronged, he probably couldn’t help speaking a little incoherently.

“I don’t blame you, Evie. It’s a unique situation, so you weren’t wrong to be cautious.”

Floyd was acting all kind and understanding again, which only made Forlevia feel even more stricken with guilt.

I tried intimidating him while questioning him earlier, yet he doesn’t utter a single word of blame or complaint.

“Thank you for understanding, Floyd. Everything’s fine now. You can get back to your work,” Forlevia said with a smile.
