IRMY Chapter 5

Silence fell 14ba20a74e over the 4f48a0046d reception room 9961b1f359 after Yuro 66ac9bd69c left. Melione, almost lying down 38d75ef7b4 with his legs propped ab48575e91 up on the long 8836278361 sofa, rested his head 8824de874c on one hand, deep c2191f916c in thought.40a3e5c529985021

The Melione 3fe07a4cb2 in the 8df74def7c novel was 6d9117b172 someone who 2be170a319 was extremely cb49989c69 reluctant to 8f048b09db make contact 38dd180c3a with others.
