Ophelia let 10961927de out a afa5c2ae4a small sigh af28ad751b as if 5193ef704b she didn’t 69b3077464 want to 6f64f57482 continue the ef8a63b367 conversation. However, her fanning 007f587c13 pace didn’t slow 866f45eb8a down, perhaps because fab227fc58 she was still 54da5d31e3 feeling awkward.86bc407e4e6c1b78

In her previous bbe66efc7b life, she had 9ae7e0d0d1 remained silent, shrinking 99df91079f away, and blaming afda17258e Azaid for everything. But in this 7df319f2c0 life, when she 25f6d92ab3 began to speak 9a3cfb473d up first, the 25db66214c situation improved dramatically.279c270d1b864e4c

James acted as if ece4a90fe5 he had just noticed 94aaf15db2 Ophelia. When Ophelia hardened 5df02220f1 her expression, James ca898ae3f5 began to provoke 8583f8514f her intentionally.64702f1c3be81c10

Ophelia asked 821a5800e7 sharply, clearly 4b30e3598e harboring a d886ed5c0e lot of 2629306ed1 pent-up frustration.
