Chapter 387 He Knows The Truth

I had my head down and spoke calmly. I didn’t want to continue this conversation anymore.

“Anna Garcia, are we best friends? Can’t you tell me the truth? Why don’t you tell me what really happened?” he asked me with hurt and worry in his eyes as he grabbed my hand abruptly.

Ronan’s hands felt so warm that his faith momentarily cheered me. However, I managed to pull my hand back and look at him nonchalantly. I didn’t want to be caught in the situation of such intimacy with him because it wasn’t appropriate.

“I don’t know what you’re talking about. I did it. If I didn’t, then why would I admit it? I’m not that stupid.” I laughed bitterly. Although I was composed, I felt I might burst into tears at any second.

“No matter what you say, I will never believe it was you! I know you, and I trust you. There’s no way you’ll assault Aunt Josephine,” he said determinedly as I pulled my hand away. No matter how I tried to lie, he still believed in me. To be honest, I was pretty touched by his trust.

“I have something I need to do, so if you’ll excuse me.” I stood up and turned to leave.

I was afraid that he would expose my lie if I continued to stay.

“I’ll send you back. It’s not safe for you to be alone when your tummy’s so big,” he said casually behind me.

Despite the casualness in his voice, he was persistent. That was why I hesitated for a while knowing he would bring up the matter again on my way back. I allowed him to accompany me to avoid arousing his suspicions.
