Chapter 728 Is She Happy?

Ezekiel's tone remained indifferent, but his gaze stayed fixed on me. Shawn didn't answer his question; instead, he continued gazing at the skylight. Both men seemed to be testing each other's patience.

Earlier, Shawn was facing away from us, looking at the skylight. Now, he was facing me directly, and I could see his Adam's apple and the stubble on his chin. The beard wasn't too long. He had probably trimmed it recently. I looked around and noticed a washstand in the dim corner.

There was also an iron bed without any bedding.

Thankfully, the weather wasn't cold at the moment.

After a while, Ezekiel asked me, "Do you like this place?"

Ezekiel ignored Shawn's words and asked me irrelevant questions. I shifted my gaze away from Shawn and replied, "This is my first time here. I can't say I like it or dislike it. I don't know why you're keeping him locked up here too. After all, it's none of my business."

Ezekiel's gaze remained fixed on me, and I felt immensely pressured. Lying to him was incredibly difficult!

"It's none of your business, huh?"

"Do you think it's any of my business, Mr. Hastings?"

Upon hearing my response, Ezekiel finally let me off the hook. He closed his eyes and thought for a while before saying to Shawn, "You should die."

Shawn retracted his gaze from the skylight and looked at me with a gentle smile as if trying to reassure me. Seeing that Ezekiel's had his eyes closed, I responded with a smile and mouthed to him, "Don't worry, Sunny, he doesn't know who I am yet."
