Susan's heart skipped a beat as Alvin turned to her. "Thank you for coming for us," Susan said in a soft voice while looking at him intensely.
"It was on Prince Harold's orders," he reminded her without looking at her. The last thing he wanted was for her to misunderstand him again and make her cry.
Alvin kept his gaze and attention on cutting off the ropes, but he was more careful this time than he was when cutting Williams loose since she was a lady.
Williams pursed his lips as he watched Susan, who kept her gaze on Alvin, who had not bothered to spare her a single glance.
When Alvin was done cutting off the ropes, he was about to leave when she stretched out her hand.
"Help me climb down," she said in a sweet voice that almost made Williams scoff loudly. Alvin furrowed his brows and just stared at her while Williams cringed at the scene.
