Chapter 68

Asher paused, giving Grace a brief glance before shifting his gaze to Drake standing behind her. His voice was deliberately casual. “Drake, where are your gentlemanly manners?”

Grace froze.

She stared at Asher in disbelief.

Drake’s expression darkened slightly as he met Thalia’s calm gaze.

Perhaps Thalia hadn’t truly forgotten him after all, he thought. Perhaps she was merely putting on a

brave face. If he were to help another woman cross right in front of her, would she feel jealous?

With this thought, Drake extended his hand to Grace, his tone deliberately gentle. “Don’t worry, Grace. I’ll help you across.”

Grace lowered her eyes and spoke through gritted teeth, her voice so quiet only Drake could hear: “What

are you playing at? I wanted Asher to help me.”

Drake responded, “If he won’t help you, would you prefer to remain stranded in the middle of the

-stream?”

“I don’t need your help either.”

“Suit yourself,” Drake said, suddenly releasing her hand.

“Ah!” Grace cried out dramatically, nearly losing her footing in the stream. Instinctively, she grabbed Drake’s hand tightly. “Just help me across first.”

Drake gave a cold laugh, mentally rolling his eyes.

Seeing that Grace was no longer in any actual danger, Asher turned away and continued walking.

The setting sun cast a golden glow across the horizon, with birds returning to their nests and the sky ablaze with spectacular colors. The scene was breathtakingly beautiful.

At one particularly scenic viewpoint offering a perfect view of the sunset, Sebastian stopped first to take photographs.
