The Alpha: Claiming His Enemy's Daughter novel Chapter 243

Chapter 243: SHE WONDERED IF THEY COULD HAVE A CONVERSATION

Iris followed Cane back to their chamber silently, she didn’t say anything and kept her head down. It was clear to see that she was not happy about something and the Alpha could feel that, too.

He glanced in her direction a few times, but she didn’t even bother to look at where they were going and only stared at the floor that she walked on.

It was not usual for Iris to be like this, because she would usually talk about something, like telling him what happened in the main hall or anything. She would try to ask or engage him in a conversation, especially after a big incident like this.

But right now, she was exceptionally quiet.

Was she so scared, thus she couldn’t say anything? This made Cane slightly frown, because it didn’t seem like it.

Once they returned to their bedroom, Cane put his finger under her chin, he lifted her head, so she could read what he was going to say.

But, the words stuck in his throat when he saw her eyes. Those blue eyes looked slightly darker while her lips were pressed into a thin line. Was she... angry?

Cane couldn’t tell, because he had never seen her angry before. He also didn’t think she was capable of getting angry, since the woman before his eyes always looked timid and soft spoken. So, what made her angry?

"Something happened in the main hall?" Cane changed his question and he could see how Iris blinked her eyes and tried to hide her emotions, she shook her head.

But, she was not a good liar and Iris knew that Cane didn’t buy it, thus she made a desperate attempt to change the subject.

"I can’t find Hanna, can you please ask someone to find her?" It was not a lie, she was really worried about her and the fact that she couldn’t find her personal maid while Redmond only attempted a half hearted search to find Hanna, didn’t make her feel better. Iris wanted to know if Hanna was alright.

"Okay," Cane agreed. He assumed Iris was in a bad mood because Hanna had gone missing. He then stretched out his hand so fast to catch something from her shoulder and grabbed it firmly, almost very strongly, which could crush the thing in his hand.

Iris was startled to see his movements, but then she gasped in panic when she saw the lizard. "Alpha! You can suffocate it!" She cried. She tried to pry Cane’s fingers open, but she couldn’t. In the end, she lifted her head to look at him timidly. "Can you please let it go?"

Cane stared at Iris’ little face for a while, which made her feel a little bit nervous. She lowered her gaze to stare at his lips instead, because his eyes were too intense. _{freeweɓnovel.cѳm}
