Should she tell Gideon the truth?
Should she straight up tell him that she did not go touring around the castle with that man? Should she confess to him that she had actually gotten lost and accidentally ended up in that area? She should, right? So that he would stop misunderstanding her. But… what if he went running back there and beat that man up again?
Vera did not want that man called Kione to get beaten up all over again. She had the feeling that it was better for her not to speak about it and just keep it to herself for now. And thus, she remained quiet, just staring at him silently, until Gideon finally lifted his gaze to meet hers.
"Listen…" his voice became a little hard as he started talking, "not him. No, never him. He's not good for you." His gaze was unfathomable as he said that. He shook his head and his brows furrowed even more. But Vera just found his actions more endearing, and it filled her heart till it overflowed.
