Chapter 229

Williams nods at Raizel’s words.

“Yes, I believe it would be for the best if you two talk over this. It isn’t an easy decision to make, and one neither of you can afford to regret. Take your time. Think things through. Let me know when you’ve made up your mind.”

Williams gives us a definitive nod, and I take it as a sign marking the end of the conversation. He doesn’t stay around for much longer, opting to leave the room for our discussion. The only ones left were Meredith, Noah, Weston, Emerson, Raizel and I.

Though that doesn’t stand true for long.

“I believe that’s the cue for all of us to leave.”

Emerson mumbles, getting up with a minor grimace on his face. The ginger stretches his arms as he gets ready to leave. Weston grunts in assent, dusting off his trousers when he stands beside the
