"Remember, don't go anywhere before I come back. Stay in the study, understand?"
Aria Rowlett knew that now was not the time to argue with Lady Octavia.
She took a deep breath, suppressing her resentment and anger, and gently replied, "Yes, I understand."
"Don't be afraid," Brandon Heath softly comforted her, "As long as you don't leave the study, they can't get in. And there are bodyguards in the house, if anything happens, they will protect you."
"In any case, trust me. Nothing bad will happen."
"Aria." Brandon Heath gently called her name, "Will you believe me?"
Aria Rowlett's tension and fear eased as he repeatedly reassured her.
Of course, she was willing to believe him.
And she could only believe him.
He was her husband and the closest person to her now.
If she couldn't trust him, their marriage would be meaningless.
"Yes, Brandon Heath, I believe you."
So, he must not let her down.
Because she really liked him.
