Avie Scarlet truly was startled this time.
Why did he embrace her again?
Jose remained silent, holding Avie Scarlet as he went up the stairs, all the way to the bedchamber.
It was only there that he put her down.
"Your Highness, I..." Avie Scarlet sat on the edge of the bed, feeling that she should say something.
"No need to speak, I know everything." Jose's expression was still very cold.
Avie Scarlet looked up and saw Jose give a slight nod.
"I just came back from Edmund Wright," he said. Seeing the surprise in Avie Scarlet's eyes, he continued, "I regret sending you to her."
Then, he suddenly lowered his head, drawing close to Avie Scarlet: "I know what Edmund Wright wanted to do to you. I'm sorry, I still couldn't bear to have you ruined by her."
After saying this, he suddenly kissed her lips.
Avie Scarlet was taken aback and instinctively tried to dodge backward, but Jose had already leaned in, causing her to fall over.
This wasn't the first time he'd kissed her...
