He Didn’t Kidnap Me. Not Exactly novel Chapter 166

Chapter 166

Correct.

He lifted the letter slightly. “You won’t believe it until you see it yourself.” He said and I narrowed my eyes.

“What does that mean?”

“It means we’re going to find out.”

I stared.

“We?”

“Yes.”

Something about that single word felt strange.

Not unpleasant.

Just strange.

Because after everything that had happened, hearing him say we felt unexpectedly nice.

“A plan?” I asked.

“A plan.”

I already hated it.

The confidence in his voice guaranteed I was about to hate it even more.

He tapped the letter lightly.

“The goal was to keep our conflict going.”

I frowned.

“Okay?”

“So we’ll give her exactly what she wants.”

I blinked.

“What?”

“We’ll pretend it’s getting worse.”

My mouth went gaping as I understood him properly now.

Your want us to keep fighting?”

“Pretend to keep fighting.”

“That sounds worse.”

“It isn’t.”

“It absolutely is.” I pointed between us. “Do you know how exhausting fighting with you has been?”

“Yes.”

“You do?”

“Yes.”

I narrowed my eyes suspiciously. “Then why are you suggesting more of it?”

“This is to prove something. And it’ll last two days.”

I stared.

“This is already a terrible plan.”

“Good.”

“Good?”

“If you’re complaining this much, it means you’re listening. And will listen more.”

I hated that he was right.

Again.

“Fine,” I said. “Explain.”

His expression returned to business.

“Tomorrow, you tell Lillian that we’re finally going to sit down and settle everything.”

I listened.

“You tell her I reached out first.”

“Okay.”

“You tell her I want to make things right.”

I nodded slowly.

You-her you plan to forgive me.”

I immediately pointed at him.

“See? That’s the part that sounds unfair”

His brow lifted.

“How?”

“Because now I have to make it sound like this is entirely your fault.”
