Lily, looking sympathetically at Sadie, who was flustered by the cold reaction, added, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”a4839ec8dadc6c85
She sent a silent signal to let it go, but Yuris, fiddling with his cufflink, said indifferently, “It seems you’re not the one who should be apologizing, and I’m not the one who should be receiving it.”ce19d3c8f39e0a7a
