In Love, Never Say Never Chapter 1778

Pushing My Luck

Nathaniel spun around, so angry that his eyes were as wide as saucers. “Scarlett Stovall, you’re pushing your luck!”

I raised my uninjured hand to press down on the wound. I could barely open my eyes, but still, I forced out a smile. “I know I am, and you are the reason for it.

Nathaniel was completely still in his spot. The cold light of the filament lamp shone on him, casting a shadow over his eyes. The more I looked at his eyes, the darker they seemed, but the entire time, his expression was a calm one. He was not panicking from getting exposed for his lies, and neither was he refuting my words nor giving any explanations.
