Yasmin shuddered at his loud voice. She was now sure that everyone had misunderstood Earl. She would not allow anyone to humiliate the person who had rescued her.
"Declan…" She raised her eyes at him, who looked back at her. Emotions poured within her at the sight of the pain in his gaze.
The guilt was visible in his blue eyes, which were also filled with unending affection. That was what she had always wanted to see, and she noticed it at this tense moment.
Even though her heart was pounding with joy, she wanted to cry. Fresh tears started gathering in her eyes, making it difficult for her to say what she wanted to say.
She swallowed and murmured, "He saved me."
"What?" Declan pinched his eyebrows, hesitating to believe what she had said. "Are you sure?"
He couldn't figure out why she was fleeing from Earl if he had saved her. Or was she trying to prevent him from being beaten?
