Revenge Of The Jilted Bride

Jilted Bride 281

Chapter 281

A few dozen minutes later, Scott returned to the Jumeir Apartment. Seeing the boy safe and sound, Ophelia finally felt

relieved.

"Where did you go? Made new friends?" She walked over, trying take his backpack off his shoulder. But as soon as she touched him, he quickly moved away. Ophelia's hand froze in the air. She sensed that something was with Scott. "What's wrong?"

Scott looked a little pale, so she reached out to touch his forehead, but his temperature was normal. "Is the school thing exhausting you?"

"Yeah, I'm tired." Scott quickly avoided Ophelia's gaze, took a couple of steps back, and walked past Ophelia into his room.

Watching Scott quickly shut the door, Ophelia stood there stunned for a while.

She thought, 'Is he really having troubles or is he angry with me? Is it because I left him alone at school?' Lately, she'd been extremely busy.

For dinner, she went out of her way to order a table full of dishes from the restaurant that Scott loved.

Scott sat across the dining table, staring blankly at the food. "Ophelia... I have a question for you..."

"Go ahead." Ophelia said as she placed a piece of steamed pork into his bowl.

Scott looked at the piece of steamed pork in his bowl for a long time. He thought, 'Ophelia knows exactly what I like. She knows me so well, and she won't do anything to hurt me, right?'

But the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back. "Ophelia, you... you won't lie to me, right?"

"Why are you asking that?" Ophelia paused for a couple of seconds, then nodded seriously. "Yeah, I won't lie to you."

She thought, 'Once Ronin is done with his busy schedule, I'll ask him to help Scott regain his memory.

'Once he has all his memories back, I'll tell him everything honestly. Even if he decides not to forgive me then, I'll be able to handle it.
