Chapter 128

Chapter 128

Cordelia was utterly flustered.

Lorna would clean her room every day. To avoid getting caught with the medicine Louie had given her, Cordelia had hidden it in her backpack. But now, she had been busted

Everard pinched the bottle of pills, a smile playing on his lips that didn’t quite reach his eyes, casting a somber mood over the room they dubbed Midnight Scent.

Panic flickered in Cordelia’s beautiful eyes. She had a feeling that if Everard realized what the pills were for, he would be furious.

Thinking quickly, she blurted out, “Vitamins.”

After saying this, she reached out to snatch them back. She was quick, but Everard was quicker. As she leaned in, he pushed back in his chair, sliding away effortlessly.

By the time Cordelia stood up to grab them, he had already unscrewed the cap, taken out a pill, and brought it to his nose for a sniff. Then he looked up at her.

Maybe it was her imagination, but Cordelia could swear his gaze had turned colder, a complex storm brewing in his deep eyes, as unpredictable as the vast night sky.

Maybe it was time to tell the truth.

She was about to speak when Everardlowered his gaze, masking the turbulence in his eyes, and his features softened in an instant.

“Oh,” he sighed lightly, “vitamins, huh?”

His voice was faint, hollow, tinged with melancholy and disappointment.

He placed the pill back in the bottle, screwed the cap on, and handed it back to Cordelia.

She was puzzled

Looking down at the bottle in her hand and then back at Everard, he seemed almost wounded, like a had been abandoned by its owner, unwittingly tugging at her heartstrings.
