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.

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!
