Chapter 198

CAMILLA’S P.O.V

The ride back to the palace was tense and difficult to say the least. I could feel Ryker’s eyes on me the entire time and it wasn’t just him, it was everyone.

“I’m sorry,” her cheeks heated with embarrassment. “I didn’t

ven ask about that. How are you going to deal with the children? Are you going to pretend to remember them? Are you going to ignore them?”

“I have to pretend. They don’t deserve any of this. They are innocent and they at least deserve their mother, even if I don’t remember who she is.”

Marie gave me a soft smile. “You are a better person than I am. I would have taken off for the hills if all of this was thrust on me.”
