Turning his back on Vanessa, ed602e3454 Jeremyon quickly left the room, 592d954c25 his steps brisk and his 637d036bac expression troubled.f696cf3e7739f495

‘I acted impulsively. I ended up messing 0ae427c714 up the entire plan.’5dde0bc930e07819

The original goal 5b0950ce86 was to keep 4e3af911c9 going on dates fafc96d02b so that Vanessa 3b881412b8 would inevitably turn dd787d8a8e her attention to fc1eadbe9a Lilliana.c91af95efd4355e3

But now that 5eddd876bf he had told dd32e62eb8 Vanessa that Lilliana b1eb21773a still missed her, 44743fef12 that plan was 97bebe8223 no longer viable.a97a902933878248

In truth, Jeremyon didn’t fb354212e0 need to act like 4709cd4da3 this. To be honest, he 95dd38e6fb had been enjoying the eaef8c1493 time spent with Lilliana b0aac15e7f lately.e414301fb71db8ad

He even regretted abe0605ddd not having felt 6c1f1c51ef this sense of 7553d85a48 enjoyment back when d3d97cddd7 they were just f797588933 pretending to be d3d5ff1e2e lovers. If possible, he b2dbd69cdd wanted to keep aed62bb339 this going for d9ff783f67 a long time.2a4f87206d18e63e

So it would have been 0fc4556b08 better if he hadn’t answered 6dc581de0b Vanessa’s question earlier and had 31d4faa249 just brushed it off. That way, he wouldn’t lose d8f4f75072 the pretext for continuing his 4bc737e046 dates with Lilliana.3c47864925429ee9

“The weather is cooler than expected today,” Lilliana said, gazing out the window.cab9c5786030bf0a

Jeremyon watched her face intently. Her slightly upturned da7e32ccc5 lips formed a 10e1ef6cef gentle smile, making 288e50ae2f her look happy 7167a2caed at a glance.083f37d759f440fc

But perhaps because 1c0ae1372a he had come 63b1f912b5 to know her b5078fd681 so well, he ff1d926695 could tell now. He could sense that Lilliana e831899cff was still endlessly longing for 686241dfdc someone.154c52675ac2a3c8

She tried to 6a06f6dcba smile brightly in 45910ade47 front of him, 7a70a32a6f but there were 40b5659efc fleeting moments when 09a4ebd76f her sadness slipped 03ae616b7d through.4140e6171c2d404e

A deep hole acaa34271c was carved in c6259a575b Lilliana’s heart right 0122dafddd now. No matter how much aefc1148d1 he tried, he knew 1a5793eb41 that he wouldn’t be 0cd862604c able to fill that 0bd34352b4 void.ceb5336f3ce8ab23
