Chapter 272

It was only now that I knew that Liam had created many chances for me to get more involved with him so he could earn my trust before delivering me the fatal blow. When I was done telling him about everything, he was silent for a while. "You've been through so much, Eve. But you have to believe that no matter what happens, I'll be by your side, supporting you." Right now, all I could do was look at him with feigned gratitude so he would think that I was feeling thankful and touched. "I was actually feeling very frustrated, but after talking to you, I felt a lot better." I pretended to be relieved. I wanted to coax him so he would tell me the truth, to tell me everything. No adults were clueless fools. The best interpersonal relationships were those where two people still understood each other even when no words were spoken. As Liam's car entered the city, I slowly recovered from the mess of emotions that were flooding inside me. I knew that there wasn't a lot of time left for us.
