NovelEnglish448 Fake Lovers
Anne flaunted the man by holding his hands when they walked out of the carriage.
Her intimacy showed that they knew each other for a long time. Anyone would think they were lovers.
The man felt a bit strange, but the man did not like the touch of a beautiful woman everyone desired. He felt the desire bubbling in his heart too and his heart raced wildly.
“Do you think that shop will be fine?” he nodded without a thought and they walked in.
The palace was a quiet one with only a few patrons that were busy with their own work. Anne picked up a corner and sat on the plush chair there.
The moment she sat and scanned the whole room, her demeanor changed, “you must have been wondering why I chose you and brought you here?”
Her cold words flinched and he nodded his head instantly while sitting straighter.
“I had a lover who cheated on me.” she said without mincing her words, “i want to show him that i have moved on. Not because I care about his views but to get rid of his presence. I told him to leave but he did not. I tried to run away but I could not. So, this is my last choice.”

“So, you need me to act as your lover?” he asked in a bit of hesitated voice when she nodded her head.
“Yes, I will pay you well. I know that it could be a bit awkward to kiss or hug the woman you have no feelings for. But I will compensate you well and you will get the chance to visit the place you would never go.“ She took out a small bag that was filled with gold and passed it to him with a smile.
“I take your silence when you accept the offer?” her words brought him out of his thoughts and he nodded.
He did not have any reason to refuse. From that start, it would be foolish to think that a woman like her would like him,
He was entertaining wild thoughts but at least she cleared them.
“If you have any doubt you can ask me now. The moment we walk out of this door and be in front of the public or the staff of the palace, I will act like a lover again.”
So that was why she told him now.
He shook his head and chuckled. What was there to ask now? She had cleared it. She wanted a fake lover.
“I got it. Are we going to leave or eat now?” He looked at the menu as if nothing happened but he could feel his heart sinking.
He knew that he was wrong to think about strange things from the start before knowing the truth, but she was the one that flashed those thoughts in his mind.
But he could not blame her.
“Since we are here, of course, we will eat and you don’t need to be formal with me. Since I have chosen you, I will take responsibility for your welfare.” she passed the menu to him as if asking him to choose whatever he wanted to eat.
He took it without any reservation. By refusing, or showing any awkward look, he did not want to embarrass her or himself.
She was a woman, and her respect should be maintained. And it was not like she had forced him. Then what right did he have to throw the tantrum?
He explained those words to herself again and again as he looked at the menu and ordered a few things randomly.
“If you do not mind, can you tell me who your lover is?” if she wanted to act in front of the staff of the palace, there was a high chance that her lover would be connected to them.
“He is Declan, the councilman who is supporting lord Rafael these days.” the words came out of her mouth as if it was a cruise when he lowered his head.
He had seen the man coming in and out of the palace many times. He was only proud of one thing: his look and physique. But when it comes to that man, he was not even sure about that.

It had nothing to do with him. He didn not have the right to blame someone.
Soon, the food arrived and he started to eat it in silence. The silence was thick between them.
“Are you sure that he had deceived you?” he asked after a long pause when she stopped eating and raised her head to look at him.
“He approached me so that he could kill my sister. What do you think?”
The cold words stunned him but then he frowned. If that was the case, why was that man still visiting the palace?
Now Hazel held all the power and she could imprison the man whenever she wanted.
“She has forgiven him and she thinks that I will too.” as if reading his thoughts, she explained slowly and then checked the bill.
“I know that it might be too much for you but i hope that you would not scratch this topic much and i will try my best to accommodate to you.” he nodded, that was all he could when she spoke again,
“I have a meeting with the man so he will be in the palace right now. That is why we are going to spend our whole day out and only return back late at night.
You need to behave like my lover all the time and not flinch in front of him. If he scares you and threatens you, do not worry. I will protect you.”
