Day Twenty-One…
~~*****~~
After talking to the elders, Richard and Nadia left the room. Richard felt a little bit anxious as Nadia became silent. Was she mad? Though she was defending him, he could tell that his fiancé somehow felt jealous of Abigail Scarlett.
Wanting to appease her, Richard suddenly hugged her from behind. "Are you mad at me, Sweetheart?"
Nadia stayed silent but she didn't push him away. She just let him hug her. She missed Richard. He had been busy for the past few days. He just came back after his business trip abroad.
"Why did you tell them you would bring Abigail Scarlett and introduce her to them?" Nadia asked him, pouting her lips. She pretended to be mad so that Richard would exert effort to console her.
"Are you jealous of her? I thought you believed my words more than those false rumors?" Richard sounded like he was hurt. He wanted her to trust him. But it seemed that she was still doubting him.
