Bold Because of You

"Oh come on! Don't be so stubborn! Even if it's not for yourself, you should at least talk to the General for your brother's sake, right?" Bianca Whitefan urged.

That's true!

So Grace stopped walking, shooting an unfriendly look as Evan Xiao approached.

Evan Xiao strode over on his long legs, came right up to her, and without a word, grabbed her arm and started walking off.

"What are you doing? Hey, what are you doing?" Grace protested as he dragged her into the little grove off to the side.

"Are you angry?" Evan Xiao asked.

"Hmph!" Grace yanked her hand back. "Who would dare be mad at General Evan Xiao!"

"It's all out in the open now. Even if I wanted to cover for you, I can't anymore."

"Of course! You're always so impartial!" Grace shot him a sideways glance. "Is there something you want? If not, I'm leaving!"

Evan Xiao grabbed her and wouldn't let go.
