Rufus’ words made Geoffrey sober up immediately. He looked at Rufus with fear in his eyes and asked, “Are you dissatisfied, Your Highness?”
Rufus cast a cold glance at Geoffrey in a domineering manner, which made Geoffrey shrivel on the spot.
The man had no choice but to wave to the guards, hinting at them to take Ashley away.
A hush fell over the banquet hall. Nobody dared to make a sound.
Geoffrey played ignorant and kept trying to flatter Rufus.
“Your Highness, if you need anything, just tell me, okay?”
But Rufus’ eyes were as cold as ice. I could tell he was doing everything he could to suppress his anger. He put his glass down and said loudly, “Let’s call it a day. Everyone, go get some rest.”
After saying that, he gave Geoffrey a bone-chilling glance. “I need to talk to you alone.”
I breathed a sigh of relief and shot Rufus a grateful look before hurrying to take Flora and others away When we came out, it was already dark. Jerome led us to our temporary accommodations.
Flora and I put down our luggage and quickly changed into casual clothes, ready to sneak out.
However, as soon as we walked out of the residence, we were stopped by a masked figure.
Both Flora and I were startled. Just as we were about to fight back, the figure held a finger to his mouth.
“Shh, it’s me. Calm down.”
The figure took off his black mask, revealing Warren’s familiar face.
Flora punched him angrily. “Why would you wear black at night? Did you want to scare the living shit out of us?”
“Keep your voice down. There are soldiers patrolling the area,” Warren lowered his voice and whispered cautiously.
I looked at him helplessly. “How did you know that we were going to sneak out?”
Sylvia’s POV
A trace of embarrassment flashed across Warren’s face. He scratched his head and cleared his throat awkwardly. “I noticed that you guys looked agitated back at the banquet, so I figured that you’d plan something tonight.”
Hearing this, I too felt a little embarrassed. Warren was sitting right next to Harry at the banquet. I guessed it was really obvious when I discussed with Flora and Harry.
Flora pursed her lips and started grumbling under her breath. Her voice was too low to be heard clearly, but I could tell from the look on her face that she was very unhappy.
Just then, we saw several patrol guards coming towards us from a distance. Warren immediately pulled us into the shadows.
“Are you planning to conduct a secret investigation?” Warren asked in a voice barely above a whisper.
“Yes.” I smiled sheepishly. Then I explained everything to him honestly. “There’s something wrong with this pack. We just wanted to see what was going on.”
“Then I’m going with you,” Warren said resolutely.
I hesitated and glanced at Flora. The reason why I didn’t tell Warren about it in the first place was because I was worried that Flora would feel awkward if the two of them were forced to stay together.
As though she had read my mind, Flora snorted. “I implore you not to. You’re a straight-A student back in school and we definitely don’t want to get you into trouble.”
“I’m not scared.” Warren looked at Flora seriously. “We’re a team. We need to stick together.”
Flora couldn’t seem to find a retort at first. After a long while, she managed to squeeze out a few words. “That’s not it… I mean…”
I stood in the background and watched them argue. The more I looked at them, the more I felt that they didn’t act as though they had broken up.
“Flora, why on earth are you angry with me? Just talk to me!” Warren begged in a low voice. “We need to make things clear!”
Flora frowned and thought for a while. “Fine. We can talk, but not right now. Don’t follow us.”
“No. You’re just looking for excuses to avoid me again!” Warren saw through Flora’s ploy easily. “If you don’t want me to go, then I’ll put a stop to this. I’ll report what you to Prince Rufus.”
“Why, you-!” Flora narrowed her eyes at him and hissed angrily. “Unbelievable!”
“I’m just trying to reason with you, Flora. You’re the one who refuses to listen to me.” Warren looked serious, but his words made him sound like a rascal.
After saying that, Warren raised his hand and seemed to want to touch Flora’s head, but Flora grabbed his hand and bit it.
“Screw you!” She spat his hand out and cursed.
Warren rubbed his bitten hand helplessly.
I looked away, at a loss as to what to do. I felt like I shouldn’t be here. This was none of my business.
It seemed that they had just quarreled and Flora dumped him in a fit of rage.
“Then hash it out here. I’ll wait for you at the appointed place,” I said half-jokingly.
Hearing this, Flora ran to my side immediately. “No need! There’s nothing to discuss. I’ll go with you right now.”
Glancing at the time, I smiled at her meaningfully. “It’s not too late. You can chat for a little while longer. I have a feeling Harry will be late anyway.”
“But I don’t want to talk to him!” Flora stuck out her lower lip like a child and started dragging me away. “Come on! Let’s go!”
“And what about you, Warren?” Caught off guard, I was forced to follow Flora as she yanked at my arm. “Let him come with us.”
“Oh, don’t mind him. Or better yet, tell him to stay here.” Flora snorted and stomped her foot like a restless donkey.
I turned around to look at Warren, only to find out that he was right behind us.
I couldn’t help but giggle softly. This couple was really confusing…
