Counterback of the Despised Luna by Diana West

Chapter 341 Stop Testing My Limits

I tried to open my eyes, but before I could, I heard a loud argument.

“Caden, Rosaline is no saint. She even pissed off people from the underground world. You might have saved her today, but who knows when she’ll get into even more trouble, and that won’t be something easy to deal with!” It was Queenie’s voice.

Then came Eleanor’s voice. “Yeah, Caden. What if something happens to you? Your grandpa is still unconscious. If he wakes up, how am I supposed to explain the matter to him?”

“Exactly, Caden! Rosaline’s a disgrace; she’s promiscuous, juggling two men at once, and now she’s getting involved with the wrong people again. She doesn’t deserve you. Don’t let her fool you!”

Queenie’s sharp, biting tone and Eleanor’s exaggerated words were a familiar sting.

A cold laugh bubbled up inside me. These two never missed a chance to badmouth me.

I opened my eyes and turned my head to see Caden standing with his back to me, blocking the door.

His tall, broad figure effectively kept Eleanor and Queenie outside.

Caden’s eyes were dark and filled with coldness as he spoke, his voice laced with impatience. “I’ve told you both. Stay out of my business with Rosaline. Don’t test my limits again!”

“Caden!” Queenie stomped her foot, furious. “How can you be so stubborn? What’s so special about Rosaline?”

“Enough, go home,” Caden said, his icy gaze sweeping over Queenie and Eleanor.

“You’ll regret this one day, Caden!” Queenie hissed through gritted teeth.

“Queenie, let’s go,” Eleanor tugged at Queenie, pulling her away.

Once they left, Caden turned around, and our gazes locked.

The coldness in his eyes softened instantly, replaced by warmth.

I smiled at him in return.

Caden walked quickly to my bedside, sitting down and giving me a concerned look. “Rosaline, you’re awake? How do you feel? Did the noise just now disturb you?”
