Revenge is best served cold

Chapter 200 Retreat

I was left speechless by Natasha's comment. I then gestured for her to elaborate.

It was then that Natasha gestured with her hand and said, "You see, people usually keep a three-feet distance between each other. You two were so close though, behaving just like newlyweds!"

I sighed helplessly and said, "It's because he injured his shoulder that I have to look after him."

Natasha pursed her lips and said, "Oh, his injury, huh? Are you seriously telling me that you really can't see his true intentions? I mean, he literally took a hit for you, and he's even helping you with your revenge plans. What kind of partner does that?

"In addition to that, every time you're in trouble, he's there to help you. And that look he gave you just now? If that's not love, I don't know what is."

I remained silent, yet I already knew the truth long before this. I wasn't so innocent when it came to love that I couldn't see the affection in Eric's gaze. I had noticed every act of kindness he had shown me, and with each one, my sense of guilt toward him only deepened.
