The moment they stepped out of Vespera, Amelia Avery struggled and jumped out of Leo Joyce's arms.
"Where did you go? Do you have any idea how frantic I was?" Even now, Leo Joyce's heart was still trembling.
"The underground marketplace!"
The moment he heard Amelia, Leo Joyce grabbed her shoulders in alarm and demanded, "What were you doing there?!"
"It was nothing much. I just sparred a little with Jonah Ross and a few others, and got to know a new group of people."
"My dear girl, what's a girl like you doing in a place like that! If you want Cassian Jennings dead, just say the word. I'll go kill him right now!"
'Kill him?' Amelia's face fell, and her emotions flared. "Don't you ever mention him to me again. I don't want to hear his name." 'Even if he was a complete bastard, she had never once thought of hurting him.'
"Alright, I won't bring him up. I won't. Please don't be angry."
