CHAPTER 272

((( ZHIO )))

I noticed Claire was avoiding me.

First…

"Let's eat," I told her.

"I've already eaten."

Then…

"Are you bored? Let's walk outside," I asked her.

"I just want to sleep," she answered coldly.

And again…

"Claire, let's eat. I brought you food."

"I don't like that," she replied before even seeing the food that I got.

"What do you like to eat?"

"Nothing. I'm still stuffed."

And whenever I tried to be affectionate, her temper would go sour.

She rarely talked and didn't want to talk to me.

I almost felt like I've been seeking her attention too much.  

What's her problem?

Did I do something wrong?

Did I break a promise?

I sighed as I thought over our past conversations.

And indeed I made a promise to her.

I've forgotten about the marriage.

I could ask Deo to organize a simple wedding in the mansion.

I bet Claire would be surprised.  

Secondly… I think I promised I would take her outside the villa.

Although I couldn't come with her, that promise must still be fulfilled.

She looked bored lately.

I even noticed she got inclined into knitting.

"Are you upset with me?" I sat beside her.

"Why would I?"

"Because I forgot my promises to you. I'm sorry about that. And I also apologize if I couldn't come with you on a stroll outside the villa tomorrow."

(CLAIRE)

"A stroll? Tomorrow?"

"Yes." He smiled, "But promise me you'd be safe." I nodded.

Is that a chance for me to escape?

I hugged him.

"Are you making me feel guilty?"

"Of course."

When the night came, I thoroughly thought of an escape plan. I wouldn't let the chance pass.

Before we slept, I tried to convince him by flirting. "

Tomorrow…could Sya and I go out without your men?"

"Why?"  

"They're making me uncomfortable. And besides, I'm going to be in disguise. I guess nobody would notice us."

"Nope, I'm just making sure you're safe. In a few weeks, you're going to give birth."

"Fine," I frowned at him, "I'm just not going."

He pulled me close and flicked my nose.

"You're so conniving. What if something bad happens to you again?"

"I assure you we'll be safe."

"Claire…"
