The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never -
Chapter 1401
Keith and Trent exchanged glances, uncertain if there was any wiggle room left.
Neither wanted to speak first.
They stood there, exchanging meaningful looks, until Hannah noticed and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you have something else to say?”
“Uh…”
Keith was jostled sharply by Trent, causing him to exclaim, “I was wondering… could we come with you when you go back to Cadilind?”
He wasn’t able to utter what he really desired to.
“Let’s get to the point,” Trent said, giving Keith’s arm another firm nudge.
“You say it then!” Keith murmured in a low voice.
“Why do you always make me say the tough stuff?”
Hannah looked over at them and demanded, “What are you whispering about? Just out with it!”
This time, Keith nudged Trent back, urging, “Hannah asked you.
Just say what you need to say.
”
Trent turned to Hannah and explained, “It’s about what Keith just mentioned.
Could you take us with you when you return to Cadilind?”
Raising her eyebrows, Hannah asked, “Why would you two want to come with us? Maloney invited me to discuss business.
”
“Being with you, we could learn a lot!”
Seeing the odd behavior of the two, Hannah frowned and remarked, “Okay, whatever.
It doesn’t matter how many people I bring back.
”
“Alright, then we’ll head back first.
”
“Just head back.
I’ll text you if anything comes up.
”
“Alright, Trent said, then turned and led Keith out of the villa.
”
Once outside, Keith started panicking.
“What are we going to do? What am I supposed to do? The Bloody Gang is tough to handle! If something goes wrong, how will we explain this to our father?”
Trent looked at Keith impassively and said resignedly, “Don’t panic.
Nothing’s happened yet.
”
“But I have to tell dad about this!”
“That’s not an option!” Keith quickly replied.
“If we tell dad right after agreeing to Hannah’s request, Hannah would definitely have our heads! Plus, if we were really going to tell dad, we shouldn’t have promised Hannah we’d keep it a secret.
I can’t break my promise now!”
“Do you think I would be that happy to snitch?” Trent uttered.
Although younger than Keith, Trent carried himself with a sophistication and composure that exceeded his years.
“What if we end up responsible?” Trent continued, his concern evident.
