Chapter 1014: Talk between men



There was a tense mood that was in the air when I walked into the meeting room.

I saw that the prime minister and the chancellor had arrived early, but they weren't the only

ones.

In fact, almost everyone had arrived early.

The only one that came at the normal time was...me.

Based on the looks on their faces, it seemed like most of them had a rough night.

I could guess why they all looked like this since it was most likely related to me and the prime minister. The way that we parted the meeting last night was certainly enough to make them all worried about how things would go.

So that was why they were all looking at me when I walked into the room.

The one exception to this was the prime minister who had his head turned as if he was ignoring me.

Sitting beside him with an awkward look on his face was the chancellor who looked like he wanted to smooth things over, but he didn't know what to do.

Seeing them like this, I couldn't help shaking my head with a bitter smile.

Then in front of everyone, I walked towards the prime minister.

All of them looked at me with a tense look on their faces as if they were scared of what I was doing, but I just ignored all of them as I walked over to the prime minister.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

But then he knitted his brows again as he said, "Since you know, I think that you should understand why I'm doing this."

I just calmly nodded in response to this before saying, "I'm not blaming you for doing this since I can understand why you would do something like this, I'm just hurt that you're going behind my back to do something like this. I thought that you would at least trust me enough to talk to me like a man about this instead of putting on that show."

Noah revealed an awkward look after hearing this before saying, "Well, you didn't know about it and it wasn't as if I could just tell you straight since Angela hadn't told you anything..."

The awkward way that he said this was completely different from how he normally acted, but it was clear that he had put a lot of thought into this.

It seemed that he really was trying his best to show his care towards me and Angela.

But that wasn't what I wanted.

"I understand how you feel, but this isn't like you at all. Where's the daring fourth prince who once put everyone in danger for his plans? Where's the fourth prince who was even bold enough to plan a coup of the country for his goals?" I said in a way that almost seemed like I was provoking him.

Noah knitted his brows once more when he heard this.

After looking at me in silence for a bit, he slowly said with a sigh, "Things are different now. You even have a child on the way, we can't keep acting the same way as before. There are people that we have responsibilities towards, so I can't let you put yourself at risk like that."

There was a serious look on my face as I said, "I understand how you feel, but does that mean that you don't trust me anymore? Haven't I shown you with all the different things that I've done that there's more to me than meets the eye?"

Noah knitted his brows even more when he heard this before saying with another sigh, "If you told me what you were planning, then I could discuss it with you and plan things out. You're the one that doesn't seem to trust me."

I calmly looked at him as I said, "If I could tell you, I would have told you. There are things that I can't control in this world. It isn't that I don't trust you, it's just that I really can't tell you."

Noah just narrowed his eyes to look at me without saying anything.

After a long silence, he finally said with a sigh, "Then why are you doing all of this?"
