Chapter 343 Deliberate Provocation

The next day was no different.

The third day was also the same.

But by the fourth day, Emrys couldn’t bear it any longer. Taking advantage of Ninette’s slumber, he gently moved her small hand aside and rose from the bed, making his way to the living room couch. There, he sat staring blankly at the chandelier hanging from the ceiling. Why is life so challenging?

Every time I spend time with Lena, you have to interfere. If this isn’t jealousy, then what is it? And this matter with Nina has been keeping me up at night, yet you revel in my misfortune. That too is a sign of jealousy. If my guess is correct, if it weren’t for the fact that Nina was injured, you would have certainly dragged her out of my room long ago. Delia, you have feelings for me that go beyond siblinghood.”
