"Wifey, I was joking," Loriel finally decided to stop his tease. He saw how guilty Elise looked because he 'accused' her of violating his privacy.
Suddenly, he didn't have the heart to keep playing her. She looked like she was about to cry.
Elise looked up and stared at Loriel with a confused expression. "Wh-what did you say?"
The man grinned and stepped forward until his front body almost touched hers. Then he tugged her chin and said, "I was joking when I said you violated my privacy by entering my chamber to get my clothes. I did say I want my clothes here. So, you did the right thing."
For a moment, there was no reaction.
Elise was stunned by his statement. And then, she pursed her lips. They started to tremble as tears slowly streamed down her face.
Apparently, she was so distraught earlier because Loriel said she violated his privacy.
