252 Why Did It Have To Be Her?

CHAPTER 252

"Relax. It is not like we would remain here forever, right?" Astrid asked Jareth, whispering close to his ears so the others would not hear their conversation.

"No. I still have to travel the world with you and protect you."

"Really, I thought you wanted to ditch me?"

"How can you think so little of me?"

"You left me before, remember?"

"I came back. Scratch that, I never left and I have protected you ever since. I even fought for your hand. At least give me credit. What has he done?" Jareth raised his brows and his gaze moved to Cari.

Astrid followed the line of his gaze and she came face to face with Cari who just finished listening to the answer to his question and returned his gaze to Astrid.

"Uh…mmm." Astrid lowered her eyes when their gaze met and smiled sheepishly.

Jareth who watched it all unfold in front of him turned completely sour. 'What the… Is she blushing because of him?'
