Chapter 238

I'm surprised when I hear Riley's seemingly heartfelt apology.
"Seraphina is right of course, this was all just a misunderstanding. I would never wish to cause you harm, Bella. It won't happen again."
Glancing up at Edward, I realize that his expression is one of complete indifference, a look he has perfected to a T. Although I can feel his true emotions swirling inside of him through our connection, I do my best to ignore them. He doesn't believe Riley, nor does he trust him. Knowing that we need to get past this, I force a smile to my face and give my mate a soft kiss on the cheek, hoping that my open display of affection will be enough to lift his spirits.
