"Don't be scared. I'll take care of that guy," Everett suddenly said. "I've already been poisoned once—I'll be more careful this time."
He knew exactly what she was worried about. That's why she'd refused to see him.
And that was the only way to prove Aurora cared about him. If she didn't, she wouldn't have run off to Country Y looking for him when they lost contact.
Aurora lowered her lashes, fear flickering in her eyes. "That guy is unpredictable. Not someone ordinary people can handle."
"Am I ordinary, Aurora?"
Everett let out a carefree laugh, full of confidence and pride.
Aurora pressed her lips together. No, he wasn't ordinary—but compared to that creepy old man, he was still way behind. That guy was a total freak. In that regard, Everett couldn't compete.
"You need to trust in your future husband's abilities."
Everett said it casually, swallowing the spoonful of porridge Aurora had brought to his lips.
