Chapter 200
..Lady Agnes?
Janet froze on her spot.
She had never heard Westin mention that name to her.
And that female voice said that Lady Agnes missed him…So was Lady Agnes his sister?
Or even…his mistress?
Janet chose to stay quiet for the moment and hid in the shadow of the bush, listening attentively.
“Soon. How is Agnes doing?” Westin asked.
His voice was soft and gentle. It sounded like he really cared about this girl named Agnes.
The woman he was talking to sighed, “Not so well. Lady Agnes didn’t have the appetite. She ate so
little and rarely left her room. Although she still took her medicine, the doctor said that her illness was
getting severe…”
Westin’s voice turned cold instantly, “I asked you to take good care of her. And let me know if she got
sick again. Did my order mean nothing to you?”
The woman panicked.
So did Janet.
Westin was always nice to servants. This was the first time she saw him talking this harshly to a maid.
Janet peeked through the leaves and saw the woman drop down on her knees.
“W–We wanted to let you know. But Lady Agnes said that she didn’t want you to worry about her. All
she ever wanted was for you to be back, my king! When you return, I am sure that she will get better in
no time.”
Westin let out a frustrated sigh.
“Rise,” he said. “Next time something happens to her, you let me know immediately. Other things can
wait. She is my number one priority.”
The woman pulled herself up slowly, “I understand…But when will you be back, my king?”
“A week later, I think. I just need to wrap things up with Janet. As soon as she agrees to come home
with me, I will head back at once.”
Janet’s body tensed up at the mention of her own name.
“Has she said yes to your proposal, my king?” the woman asked. This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
Westin let out a light snort, “Not yet. But she doesn’t have much of a choice. It is either me or Daran.
She hates Daran. I am the best she can do. She is not stupid. She will come around soon ”
“Of course. Your proposal must be the best thing that happens to her in her lifetime,” the woman
smiled. “And about this Princess Janet…”
She hesitated for a short moment.
“What about her?” Westin asked.
“Lady Agnes wants to know what she should expect. If everything works out as you planned, our lady
will be living under the same court with Princess Janet…..Rumor says that this princess is a tough
person to deal with. She is hot–tempered and ill–mannered. Our lady is a delicate person. I fear that-”
“Agnes has nothing to worry about,” said Westin forcefully. “I will keep Janet under control.”
“But that Princess is a warrior! If she pulls a sword against our lady-
Westin let out a short laugh, “Pulling out a sword in the Lycan’s land? No. Janet won’t dare.”
Janet rounded her eyes.
What the fuck were they talking about?
It sounded like they considered her a prisoner!
And the thing that made her angry the most was that Westin didn’t deny it at all when that woman
called her “hot–tempered and ill–mannered.”
Was that how he really thought of her?
And yet he talked about how much he loved her all the time, which appeared to be an
utter lie!
Janet felt lucky that she discovered who Westin really was before being tempted to
choose him.
She took a deep breath and stepped out of the shadow:
“Don’t bother keeping me under control, Westin. Because I am not going to the Lycan’s land with you.”
Westin and the woman jerked around at the same time.
Shock flickered across his eyes. Then his eyes darkened.
“You are back, Janet.”
He smiled a charming smile, as though nothing had happened, “I was looking all over for you. I brought
back the wine that Balvina wanted.”
Janet stared at him.
He was just as charismatic as ever.
Yet right now she found his smile very fake.
She ignored him and turned to the woman he was talking to, “What is your name?” The woman
flinched, holding her head down, and murmured, “…Fatima.”
“Alright, then Fatima. You can go back and tell your lady to relax. Because I am not accepting your
king’s proposal, and certainly not living under the same roof with her.‘
Janet paused, and then let out a sarcastic chuckle, “And she was right about me. I am
a hot–tempered person who has absolutely no manners and curtsey. But lucky for her, I am not her
problem to worry about.”
Fatima bit her lips and cast a pleading look at Westin.
“Leave us,
“Westin said coolly.
Janet raised an eyebrow, “There is no need, King Westin. I already rejected your proposal. You can
head back immediately.”
Westin’s jaw tightened.
He stressed, “Leave.”
Fatima hastily turned and disappeared behind the bushes.
Westin walked up to Janet. He raised a hand to touch Janet’s cheek, but she tilted her
head and avoided his touch.
“I can explain, Janet,” he said quietly.
“No. Don’t bother,” Janet said in a firm and calm voice. “I was coming to let your know that I have made
up my mind. Daran is my final choice. I didn’t really know how to break it to you. But you just made
everything a lot easier.”
Westin stared at her, deadpan, “You are choosing Daran? Think about how he has hurt you-
“At least I am confident to say that I am the only woman he ever loved.” Janet sneered, “There might
be other important things in his life, like his power and his pack, but his love for me is undeniable. And
most importantly, he will never speak ill
of me behind my back.”
“I didn’t say anything-
Janet interrupted him with a frown, “Why do you want me so much, Westin? There is a mate bond, yes.
Bur
if you have deep feelings for another woman, just quit wasting your time on me. Take Casper and
Balvina as an example. They are happy enough without a mate bond.”
“I want you because I love you.” Westin said without hesitation, “I have fallen in love with you ever
since I met you for the first time in the Grace Ruin.”
Janet found that so absurd that she almost laughed.
If he really loved her, he would never speak of her like that behind her back.
“Love” was simply a tool that Westin used to manipulate her.
There was a cold and tight expression on Westin’s face, as though he was going to flip the next
second.
Yet a short moment later, he contained his temper and relaxed.
That familiar, idle smile appeared on his lips again.
“You think I was lying to you? I am hurt, Janet.” he crossed his arms and said, “Every word I said, every
confession I made was real. And as for Agnes-”
“I told you. I am not interested to know-”
“But I can tell that you care about her,” Janet shrugged. “And I am not getting into this love affair of
yours. It is over between us, Westin.”
“Seriously. Don’t bother. A sick girl is waiting for you. You should go home as soon as possible.”
A deathly silence fell upon them.
Westin didn’t say anything else. Maybe he had come to realize that her rejection was for real.
A storm was forming in his eyes. A dark, scary look appeared on his face.
Janet couldn’t help but take a small step back.
A chill that had nothing to do with the night breeze in the mountain stole over her.
“Let’s wrap this up, Westin.” she said hastily under pressure, “If you won’t reject me, I will.”
She took a deep breath before announcing, “I, Janet Manning, hereby reject Wes-
Yet she didn’t get to finish her rejection.
A sharp pain came from her neck and shot through her body!
It was Westin.
He took a hard hit on the back of her neck, knocking her down!
Janet crushed to the ground, her eyes widened in shock, her lips trembling.
Even at this very moment, she still couldn’t believe that Westin would do such a thing to her…
“You are making a terrible mistake, Janet.”
Westin’s handsome face appeared in her blurred vision. He smiled, coldly, looking down at her pain–
stricken face.
“But luckily, I can fix your mistake,” he said.
He took another hit on her neck, knocking her out.
