Chapter 248 A Brewing Storm
Ever since he had left those marks on her body, hiding her feelings had be even more precarious.
And yet, he had known everything <b>all </b>along and had kept teasing her.
Thinking about it. Ste wanted to bite him again.
But when her eyesnded on the wound at Abraham’s neck, she decided to let it go.
After breakfast-
Abraham went straight to the study. Eddie finished eating in the kitchen and came out, ncing over at Ste.
Ste quickly turned around, pretending not to see him..
“Running away again, huh?”
Eddie crossed his arms over his chest, clearly displeased.
Ste knew why Abraham had kicked Eddie out earlier – he had noticed her difort.
Now, seeing Eddie purposely cornering her. Ste turned back around and meekly called, “Eddie.”
Eddie walked over and gave a sharp snort. “Feeling better?”
Ste froze.
She knew exactly what he was asking about and so did he. But how was she supposed to answer something like that?
Her face instantly turned bright red, <b>and </b>she didn’t dare lift her head.
Seeing her silent. Eddie gave a little <bugh</b>. “I asked you a question.
… I’m feeling better, Ste mumbled.
Why is he even asking about this?
Is this really something he should be concerned about?
Eddie <b>said</b>, ‘Girls have to take better care of themselves. Abraham’s always spoiled you, but when ites to this kind of thing, men often aren’t exactly human,”
Ste said nothing, her face burning hotter.
Eddie kept lecturing her.
“He <b>doesn’t </b><b>know </b>how to <b>control </b>himself, but you should know how to protect yourself. You can’t treat that kind of injury like it’s nothing”
“Please stop talking,” Ste finally blurted out, unable to hold it in anymore.
She was too embarrassed to even look at him.
<b>You- </b>Eddie started,
Ungrateful brat. I’m just trying to help here..
<b>“</b>I know I don’t appreciate <b>your </b>kindness, Ste cut him off. “So I’m begging you, just stop.”
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “You little-”
She ran so
fast <b>that </b>if this were a school event, she would have won the <b>track </b>meet easily.
Eddie stood there, dumbfounded<b>. </b>
Did she really just say Troll That little brat… definitely no good intentions there
“Running that fast… Abraham’s years of worrying about her were a total waste. At this speed, even if enemies came after her. no one would catch her.”
In the blink of an eye, she <b>was </b>gone.
Looks like the medicine I had someone buy for her worked pretty well, Eddie thought, watching the empty hallway.
Scratching the back of his <b>head</b>, he turned–only to meet a pair of icy, sinister eyes.
Abraham stood at the top of the <b>stairs</b>.
Eddie froze at the sight of him. His heart skipped a beat. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“Do you think she needs your concern?” Abraham’s voice was cold and filled with displeasure.
Eddie said nothing
“Sorry, I overstepped.”
Come on. max… Brother and husband are twopletely different roles
Just then. Abel came over from the other side. “Sir.”
“Speak. Abraham said.
“Miss Evie has secretly arrived <b>at </b>Rivermount,”
Eddie stiffened.
<b>Abraham’s </b>eyes narrowed dangerously.
“She’s apanied by people from Miss Marie’s side, Abel added.
People from Marie’s side
Eddie’s mouth twitched. “What does that mean?”
Abel <b>nced </b>at Eddie, then looked <b>back </b>at <b>Abraham</b>. “It’s likely Miss Marie sent her to try to take Miss Ste away.”
Eddie’s heart jumped <b>violently</b>.
No way. She wouldn’t dare, would <b>she</b><b>?</b>Ste isn’t just Abraham’s little sister anymore.
If she dared to pull something like that now, <b>she </b>was asking for death.
“<b>This </b><b>must </b>be a <b>misunderstanding</b>! Eddie protested. “Abel, you can’t just assume she’s here to kidnap Ste just because she brought people from Marie’s side. That’s not right.”
Abraham’s face darkened as he shot Eddie a cold nce.
Under that look. Eddie’s confidence crumbled. “<b>Okay</b>, <b>okay</b>…maybe <b>not</b>.”
But what if Evie rally was convinced by Marte to try <b>and </b>take Ste <b>away</b><b>? </b>
“Wait a <b>second</b>. That doesn’t make <b>sense</b>. Those two hate each other. <b>You </b>know <b>that</b>.”
“Precisely <b>because </b>they’re enemies, it’s the perfect cover, Abel said calmly..
Eddie was getting anxious,
Damn it. Abel might actually have a point…
And with how aggressively Marie has been searching for Ste these past two <b>years</b>….
