Chapter 116: Let him stew...

"What’s happening outside?" Vera asked.

At her question, Trevor’s gaze darkened, his hand pausing briefly before resuming its motion.

"Why do you care about what’s happening outside?" he asked after a brief pause.

As a special agent and guard, it was second nature for him to stay informed about ongoing events within and outside his locality, he has to stay up to trend noting the why and how things are —but not when he was the one orchestrating the chaos.

He had stepped out earlier to ensure Aaron had something to keep him occupied—especially after his relentless calls to Vera.

Knowing Aaron’s temper, if he didn’t intervene, Vera might return home only to face his wrath, and within minutes, she could become a dead woman.

Trevor had no intention of letting that happen. Instead, he wanted her to return home to a desperate Aaron—one drowning in his own storm, seeking her help to pull him out.

"Trevor," Vera called him, her voice was clam and steady, her gaze piercing. "Seeing how calm you are, I believe you have a hand in this situation?" She queried.
