and demeanor.
He had always felt profective of Luke, especially since his sister-in-law saved Luke's life, which made his current
stance all the more surprising.
"The Bolton family has coddled him too much, leading to his regression. He lacks responsibility and courage,
acting more like a spoiled child than a man!" Carter tapped the armrest of his wheelchair in frustration as he
spoke,
He was usually so composed around me, seldom showing such frustration.
| was not scared by his anger; instead, | found his passion rather endearing. It lightened the tension | had been
feeling because of Anna, and | let out a chuckle.

Anna probably hoped to catch suseful tidbits fromon the way home, unaware that | had begun my
performance the moment | stepped into the car.
She only heard what | allowed her to hear.

The night had been restless, filled with repeated dreams about the killer.
Outside, the snow had stopped, and the servants were busy clearing it from the main roads.

| got out of bed, the cold floor against my bare feet, and was tempted to go find him immediately.

What should I do? What should | do?
First, | needed to freshen up and get dressed. Fortunately, Damian was not at heither, which somewhat

Having had my own run-ins with Anna, | remained cautious around Sheila.
"Zoey, cand have a meal," Jeffrey invitedkindly
| managed a smile and looked at the breakfast spread before me, but my appetite was gone.
