Chapter 959:

Melinda had always been Chloe’s loyal sidekick, paying close attention to everything she said and did. At that moment, she couldn’t ignore the pointed glance Chloe threw in Derek’s direction. There was something unusual, something Melinda couldn’t quite put her finger on.

The question made Derek’s stomach churn with unease. He had worked tirelessly to guard the secret Melinda was unknowingly alluding to. If it were to come out now… He couldn’t begin to fathom the consequences.

Aelfric, fiercely protective of his sister, would never tolerate any injustice against her. If he discovered Derek’s past engagement to Marissa, his fury would be inevitable. He might even call off the engagement between Derek and his sister, Chloe.
