Chapter 481 Not Suitable

Jack blurted out something without context, and I was a little confused. I had trusted him from the beginning, so I didn't understand why he was saying this. "What did you say?" I looked at him, puzzled. He walked over and glanced out the window.

"You told Zack, Crystal, and Julian about this... but not me. Is it because you don't trust me?" He spoke without looking at me, almost as if he didn't dare to.

I followed his gaze to the window. It was winter in Erewhon, and the snow had started falling.

The ward was warm, but my heart felt far from that.

I let out a quiet sigh. "Jack, you know that's not what I meant."

It wasn't that I didn't trust him. I just didn't want to drag him into this. At the time, everything was uncertain, and I didn't want him to worry. Besides, if he had helped, perhaps Leonard would have found me by now.

Jack suddenly turned to look at me and grabbed my hand tightly. "I know you didn't want to drag me into this. You also know that I like you. You've always known."

I tried to pull my hand away, but his grip tightened.

"Eva, don't avoid it. I know you know everything. It's not like you feel nothing for me, right? Then why not give me a chance? Why not give us a chance?"
