Chapter 291

Barrett eventually decided to seek out Aurora. He didn't want to argue anymore-they needed to have a proper conversation.

When he entered the room, he found her curled up in a blanket on the chaise lounge, a black veil on her face as usual. Ever since she obtained the scars on her face, she had made a variety of veils in different colors. She refused to leave the house without wearing a veil or a hood.

Aurora turned away from him, refusing to respond.
