Chapter 869: Confession

"... I... I didn't want to pass her love letter either," Aveline said hesitantly, turning her

head away.

"Then why did you help her?"

"I wouldn't have agreed. It's your business to handle, not mine."

"Good. And this isn't just my business-it's ours. I don't want a third person getting involved."
