“Why didn’t you bring a bodyguard? Don’t you know that you are a public figure?” Avery furrowed her brows. She was suddenly angry. “Did you think that there wouldn’t be danger in Bridgedale? Bridgedale’s safety is much worse than Aryadelle’s!”

Elliot looked at her agitated face. Words got stuck in his throat.

“Okay.”

“Did you do it deliberately?” The more she thought, the more suspicious she got. “Did you really not bring your bodyguard?”

“What about the trust we just talked about?” Elliot said directly, “If I wanted to stay at your place, I have a thousand ways to do it. The only thing I won’t do is lie to you and gain your pity to achieve my goal.”

Avery blushed because of hercd suspicion.
