Chapter 290 No, I Can't
- As they fell onto the bed, Zenon instinctively shielded Meredith, ensuring she was positioned safely atop him. Meredith couldn't help but appreciate this small gesture, feeling a flutter in her heart. Maybe she should place her trust in Zenon, especially considering his previous assurances that he would never harm her.
- Observing how Meredith had her arms around his neck and didn't push him away, Zenon felt a surge of excitement as she kissed him back. Is she willing? After he moved out of the west wing, he resolved to recite scriptures each night, striving to maintain clarity of mind and keep his desires in check.
