Chapter 0319

Joyce regarded me with a cool expression. His gaze trailed over me with disinterest. I felt suddenly exposed in my thin nightgown and robe. I wrapped my arms around myself.

“Joyce? You were the one who wanted to see me?” I asked in disbelief.

He nodded curtly. “I wanted to see if you were reckless enough to follow that note out onto a balcony, even knowing all the safety measures we have in place right now.”

“Oh…” I lowered my head, ashamed and embarrassed.

“My brothers are fond of you,” he said. “That gives me enough reason to be concerned for you too.”

“I see…”

I thought back on my actions since receiving that note. My overwhelming desire to see Nicholas had tainted my own self-preservation. I’d even sneaked away from the guards who were supposed to protect me.

Thank G od it was only Joyce out here and not someone who actually meant to do me harm or I would have walked straight into a trap.

The note had even been typed rather than handwritten. I should have known better. Even if Nicholas and I had left similar notes to each other in the past, he wouldn’t recreate that now – not with the danger I’d been in.

Nicholas would have never wanted me to endanger myself by shaking loose my guard and meeting him out here in the cold night.
