Chapter 0091

My heart lightened a little; I felt bad for her. She had no idea about the cruel jerk she was engaged to, but maybe she would start to understand things on her own. I brushed the thought out of my head; it wasn’t my problem or concern. I was here to do a job and that was it. My main focus was on my father and getting his debt paid so he could return to my mother, and we could be a happy family once again.

Matt and I spent the next couple of hours sparring and practicing his defense moves. Once we were finished, were both panting and covered in sweat.

“Sorry,” she murmured. “I didn’t mean to scare you…

She bit her lower lip and rubbed the back of her arm awkwardly as she stood in front of me. I sighed, giving in.

“Is everything okay, Irene?” I asked her. “You seem off today.”

As if she was snapping herself out of her daze, she blinked a few times and then lifted her gaze to meet mine.
