I didn't dare to look him in the eye. I threw out an excuse, "I can't just abruptly leave when I am already employed by the Milton family-"

"You can go!"

Without waiting for me to finish, he pushed away and said with disappointment in his eyes, "Go back to Sebastian's villa. I won't force you into doing something if you're so reluctant. I still have my pride."

I was shocked for a moment, but the disappointment in his eyes made my heart ache fiercely. I opened my mouth, but nothing came out.

After a moment of silence, I said softly, "I may not have much time in the afternoon and at night. However, I will come in the morning."
