Atticus' POV:
"I don't know," I answered honestly and turned to look at the door of Eloise's ward.
At this distance and with Jude's gentle tone, I didn't think she could hear what we were talking about. This realization made me feel less nervous.
Jude looked at me and sighed again. She then lowered her head and continued to look at her phone.
"Alright. There are no more questions. We can leave now." He heaved a sigh of relief.
I knew that the work I gave him would not have any problems.
Before today, I planned to give Eloise a sum of money so she would agree to break off the relationship with me. This was the decision I made when I stayed with the Cotton family.
But now, I suddenly felt she didn't seem worthy of my compensation. She wanted too much, so I didn't want to give her anything. Or rather, I felt she might want more after she got something from me.
No matter what happened, I didn't want to see it happen.
