CHAPTER 85 Edsel's Apology

  Edsel's POV

  "Look... I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that." I felt a bit awkward and didn't look her in the face.

  Julian's tone was more even-keeled than I expected, "Ah, you mean that? No worries."

  I blinked, surprised at how easily she let it slide, "I thought you'd at least be mad enough to sock me one."

  "Why would I hit you, my love?"

  Her sudden change of pet name caught me off guard, stirring something strange inside me. Before today, she always teased me with her nicknames, but none made my heart skip like this.

  I didn't want to dwell on it, so I quickly pulled her close, "Hang in there, we'll be there soon."

  "Good heavens, what happened here?"

  Aurora's face went pale with shock when she saw the two of us as she opened the villa door. Even Edward's expression darkened. He hurriedly instructed Blake to call the private doc while I followed Aurora with Julian to the lounge.
