Chapter 21: Sunset

Cadmus suddenly pulled me away for no apparent reason. Why is he angry? Topher must be the one to get angry because her uncle lied. Was he angry because I was interfering? I just want to help. He confessed earlier, and he thought, I'm one of his women. I hope they didn't believe what he said. Everyone looked at us when we went out but also immediately returned to what they were doing.

He was still pulling me when we got out of the restaurant, so other people looked at us. Some were talking about us, but others didn’t seem to care because they also went back to what they were doing.

I’m still amazed at this place, even though Tia Celeste and I already have been here. There were carriages in the middle of the lane, only two or three passing by. I wonder where is our carriage?

I was surprised when we entered another restaurant. Other people looked at us because of Cadmus's sudden entry.

"Is that Cadmus?"

"It's Cadmus! But who's that girl beside him?"
