56-Because of you

Sir was too perceptive to hide it from him, Hermosa should have known that.

She ducked her head and looked away for a moment, not knowing how to conceal her inner turmoil.

She wanted to tell Brent everything, but she was afraid that if she did, he might not even want to spend the last two days with her.

She knows that when two people are in love they should be honest with each other.

But Hermosa didn't know what other option she had at the moment but to hide it from Brent.

"No, you're overthinking it." She kept her distance from Brent when she spoke.

Hermosa didn't speak to Brent about such topics in front of the children until she walked to the inner room, a curtain away, to make milk for Elisa, and then lowered her voice in response to Brent.

Her nose hurt, and the corners of her eyes were instinctively heated and moist. But her hands were still trembling.

She deliberately lowered her head and covered half of her face with her long hair, not wanting Brent to see how bad she looked.
