After uttering those words, Belle felt embarrassed for making such an unreasonable request as she was aware of the current circumstances of their family. She wished Lady Olivia would pick another butler instead of Lucas but the wretched vampiress had her eyes on him.
She didn't question why because she knew how skillful this handsome butler of the Adams was.
"Is that what you want?" she heard him ask her.
Belle, who was already dazed with Lucas' gesture, turned to look away from him. She took a deep breath to sort out her mind. Instead of answering his question, she said, "You will be leaving in two days."
It felt as if the hours were going to slip through her fingers and she would be standing here unable to stop him from going as the deal had already been made.
Belle felt powerless but she was determined to bring him back one day, back to the Adams mansion, "Is it allowed to let the people pawn other lives? Isn't it wrong?" She tried to reason now with logic.
