Her Unwanted Mate On The Throne

Chapter 137

Chapter 137 For the people

A burst of joy and anger hit her at once when their eyes met across the clearing, it almost made her stumble over. William slowed his horse to a stop when he saw her-he even had the nerve to smile at her as if it would make her forget everything.

And it almost worked. When his dimple made an appearance, she almost forgot why she would ever be mad at him. He looked like an angel when he smiled. It was… quite the sight.

He must have noticed the look on her face. His smile slipped right off as if it was never there and Doris almost pinched herself for being the reason it was long gone. Part of her always worried that she would never see it again.

The guards took their horses straight to the stables, but William dismounted right in front of her. “Has something happened?” He asked when he neared her.

“Why didn’t you mention to me where you were going?” Doris blurted out as if she couldn’t hold the thoughts in a second longer. William furrowed his brow. “I thought you would still be sleeping when we got back.”

A few guards came out of the stables with bags slung over their shoulders. Her face heated up as they stared at her. She wanted to shout that she wasn’t talking to them, she was talking to William and she didn’t need an audience.

She cleared her throat, “Where did you all go?”

“We went to find some food and supplies for the villagers. There wasn’t much available from the nearby villages, but we gathered all that we could.” Patrick filled in for her. He gestured for his men to follow him into the cabins and left Doris alone with William once again.

William took a step closer and lowered his voice. “Did something happen while we were gone?”

“No. I was just-”
