A Widow's Poison, A Wife's Rebellion novel Chapter 767

Throughout breakfast, Herbert was nothing but endlessly gentle with her. Looking at his soft expression, it was incredibly difficult to connect him with the chilling phone call she had overheard yesterday.

But she had heard it. There was no denying that.

Noticing her silence, Herbert reached out and gently squeezed her hand. "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing."

She wanted to ask about the call, but the words caught in her throat. It felt like if she pulled that thread, things would unravel and become infinitely more complicated.

After a brief hesitation, she opted for a different topic. "Last night, my brother mentioned that if Fairfax is hiding in the Cyrus Sea, dragging him out won't be easy."

The man across from her froze. For a split second, his chewing stopped.

Then, his expression smoothed out. "It's certainly troublesome."

Troublesome? Before, she had thought that pinpointing his location in the Cyrus Sea meant it was only a matter of time before they grabbed him. Now, both her brother and Herbert were admitting it was a massive headache.

Herbert glanced at her and lightly pinched her cheek. "Anxious?"

"Of course I am. I don't want anything to do with him ever again."
