Chapter 287: Provoking Her (2)

Killian closed his eyes and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Bubbles, there are a hell of a lot of things that are going on in my head right now. And I don’t want to talk about it at the moment. I don’t think I need to."

Inez marvelled over how someone standing right in front of her could feel so far. It was as if he were almost unreachable. Honestly, the two of them might be standing on either side of a land and yelling at one another, with her words never reaching him. He had withdrawn from her. Inez felt it the second he had done it. And the way he told her that he didn’t want to talk about it was said with so much finality that she knew that pushing him would get her nowhere. Inez knew that the man in front of her had pulled down the shutters. And she ...well, she felt a bit lonely.

But Inez knew that this time it wasn’t just her. There was something more to the entire situation. Something that he was not telling her.

"I think you are imagining that you want to stay away from me, right?" she said with a mocking edge to her tone. Oh, he had been making excuses in his head, telling himself that giving them the time that they needed would help them. Turning the entire situation around such that he could prove that it was good for them. Not just for him. "You are thinking that you need to spend some time alone, without me staying around you. Right?" She pursed her lips and stated, "I think that’s the entire gist of the situation."

"If you want to get away from me, just tell the truth. There is no need to dance around the topic. I bet you want to stay away; that’s why you are saying those words."

"If you want me to leave you alone, just tell me; there is no need to hide the truth."
