Chapter 85: Prince Theo’s Match

Not this again.

Was he jealous for no reason whatsoever again? Now was not the time nor the place to address any of this.

“Can we go? We are on limited time. Luther could come back and see that I’m not there.”

He looked me up and down for a moment. “l would love to, but how are you going to make a run in those?”

“You said you had mastered their changeover times.”

“l have. But you can never be too careful. You are impor-

tant to Luther and he will do whatever it takes to keep you in his possession. Not to mention you told the guy you were falling in love with him.”

I rolled my eyes at his comment. “l didn’t.”
