All Chapters of Surviving the World to Escape Him: Chapter 151 - Chapter 155

HELENAI left the shop early and went home. I wanted to prepare the meal myself, it had been a long time since my husband and I shared a meal. Long before the whole ordeal started, before he left with Mark to the frontier. When he came back, everything had turned into a mess, and we never had a chance to even talk properly. At home, I prepared several dishes with the help of the servants but his favourites, I had prepared myself. “My lady, the Regent is back.”My actions paused, it was the first time in over a week since I last saw him. Work at the palace had kept him away and busy. “Take the dishes, I will be right there.” Rose led the servants and went to set the table. I finished the cold drink I was preparing, poured it into a small jug and took it to the table. Julian sat at the table looking out the window.He had not noticed my presence in the room until I spoke. “You are home.” He stiffened; I stared at him. Julian had never reacted like that with me. I sat down. It took Ju

JULIAN I looked at Malia and her father. It didn’t need a genius to see right through their little scheme. Malia’s brother was killed by the Queen Dowager’s people almost two years ago. Her father had not said a word after his body was returned. He took his body and buried him. Now that he had lost the war, he came knocking and asking for compensation.The timing was too convenient.

I would also make sure she leaves the kingdom. She had overstayed her welcome. It was either she leaves

JULIAN I had asked Mark to be quiet, to keep his wild ideas to himself. But I had seen it, the change in Adam. Mark was not exaggerating. Only a couple of hours ago I was busy coaxing him because he was afraid, he wouldn’t be a good king. That the people wouldn’t listen or respect him. We stayed with him until midnight. Mark even fell asleep on the day bed while Adam kept waking up from nightmares.I only left him before dawn and now he was different. It had only been three hours since we separated, what changed? “You have doubts as well, I can it.” I ignored Mark, the ministers were still around, I didn’t want them thinking there was something wrong. “Let’s go find your sister-in-law, she might know something we don’t.” Mark clasped his hands excitedly.I shook my head helplessly; everything was a joke to him. “Mark.” He hummed in response. “The man at the frontier.” I paused thinking that would change his mood, but nothing changed. He stopped walking with a huge grin on his face. “
