Chapter 117:

Kristopher’s words caused Belinda to catch her breath abruptly.

Back when Kristopher had just woken up, Belinda had often used little ploys, like pretending to fall or faking a sprained ankle, to draw closer to him.

At that time, she believed Kristopher’s willingness to play along indicated that he cared and perhaps even had feelings for her.

That moment marked the first time Belinda realized his deep-seated disdain for her.
