The Devil's Betrothed novel Chapter 709

Chapter 709: Aaron’s Cruel Words

Aaron went to visit Lucian, as he wanted to talk about Rina. She had been staying at his home, and no one from the Rainier estate had come to check on her, which surprised him and made him wonder what exactly was going on.

When Aaron reached Lucian’s study, he found Lucian lost in his thoughts, staring blankly out of the window, his mind seemingly elsewhere.

"Lucian?" Aaron called, noticing that Lucian hadn’t even realized someone had entered his study.

Lucian snapped back to reality and turned to see Aaron standing across from his desk. "Aaron? I’m sorry. I didn’t notice you arrive. Please, have a seat."

"It’s alright," Aaron said, settling into the chair while Lucian asked the servant to bring tea. _{ƒreewebɳovel.com}

"What were you thinking about so deeply?" Aaron asked. "Is something troubling you?"

"It’s nothing," Lucian replied honestly. "I was just staring outside and didn’t even realize where my mind had wandered."

Aaron hummed, then shifted to the reason for his visit. "I came to talk about Rina."

"Is she troubling you?" Lucian asked. "I know she came to your home after we had an argument."

"No, she’s not troubling me, but she was crying, saying she misses you," Aaron explained. "But then she didn’t want me to bring you to her either. If there’s something between you two, as her older brother, you should talk it out and try to make her understand. Sisters are supposed to be treasured by brothers."

"There is nothing worry, Aaron. But she’s not a child anymore. She’s been too pampered by us here. Let her stay away for a little while," Lucian replied, meeting Aaron’s gaze. "But if she’s troubling you, I’ll arrange for her to go somewhere else."

"No. She’s not troubling me," Aaron denied immediately. "She’s still a child, and a girl at that. How can you think about sending her somewhere else? She can stay either at Rainiers or Wynters. We shouldn’t trust anyone else with the daughter of our family. If you’re that adamant about sending her away, then she’ll stay at my home as long as she wants."

Lucian noticed how suddenly protective Aaron had become of Rina, and this was what he wanted.

"Alright, but if she becomes too much of a handful, you can tell me," Lucian said. "I’ve been with her since she was born, and I know she’s not always easy to deal with."

"She’s a good child. Even if she causes trouble, it’s nothing to worry about. As long as she stays at Wynters, she’s my responsibility," Aaron declared firmly.

"Well then, I can be relieved," Lucian replied with a hint of a smile.
