The Beta’s Regret

Chapter 120

I was fuming, but Eros was unbothered by my anger.

“Yeah him. How is he? I mean, as a person.”

I had my heart jump in my throat the moment he asked me how he was. I feared he had somehow learned that Theo had tried to communicate with me.

I didn’t answer

I kept looking at him curiously when he took a pause, but he did not finish his line. He simply shut the door and walked away, leaving me staring at the door.
