IBMILRFL – Chapter 30

Ch. 30 IBMILRFL | Chapter 306fac740003616ade

Turning his back cf3a3e55aa on Vanessa, Jeremyon f37f1b9c37 quickly left the d3189389d4 room, his steps 8b60fcc0a7 brisk and his 95210fbe97 expression troubled.9e6edd43251ca334

‘I acted impulsively. I ended up messing up 50a090069e the entire plan.’ad7252a7d26d7016

The original goal was to 563ff159c1 keep going on dates so 1edab2816e that Vanessa would inevitably turn b4589edb4b her attention to Lilliana.f96d448c9d6771af

But now that he 86fa083adf had told Vanessa that 1dd317506c Lilliana still missed her, 250e720588 that plan was no 7ab35775c7 longer viable.04c22101066552a0

It was obvious she 99096b9d2b had figured out everything, eedfdfde86 including the reason he eb65d8181a had been flaunting his 2e68350bcb dates with Lilliana.09f3721a97c4ea87

In truth, Jeremyon didn’t a207fa2ca9 need to act like 24f986a5cf this. To be honest, e862139fe5 he had been 529b38538a enjoying the time e15ad8c190 spent with Lilliana bb7be0564b lately.5ae79f1414fbf82f

He even regretted not having c2b6134761 felt this sense of enjoyment 892f09bbc1 back when they were just fa3133046c pretending to be lovers. If possible, he 8d1dc5d819 wanted to keep 48ac941749 this going for 596151f508 a long time.98c3479ffab25485

So it would 042432b902 have been better 4787090080 if he hadn’t 4fbd7c47ac answered Vanessa’s question 53f5fa424e earlier and had 9916c4bd05 just brushed it 85fb83f6e5 off. That way, he wouldn’t 4a6a678d21 lose the pretext for 5f1cd1c319 continuing his dates with 2331f72f10 Lilliana.2ee5955abb887974

It was a c6c1ae8de7 fact he was 1743712cdc well aware of.45d0f4554c8de866

Even so, the reason Jeremyon 5146592db3 had acted on his own 5b4bb40803 was…7547e3858f5b5f17

Yes, it was 82c9386414 because of that 2f1b43182b expression.8ea58726446387f5

“The weather is cooler than expected today,” Lilliana said, gazing out the window.7cbbc941b1bc922e

Jeremyon watched her face intently. Her slightly upturned lips formed 594fbbc927 a gentle smile, making her 6c38a4ac09 look happy at a glance.adf3c800a5e1ba86

But perhaps because he f507de210a had come to know 14c771d658 her so well, he 9bf128a615 could tell now. He could sense 3109b9a6af that Lilliana was cf149d4b61 still endlessly longing 8e0bb23fd2 for someone.dcda3ef03f72e23f

She tried to smile brightly 914853dd5a in front of him, but 6fd96b94bb there were fleeting moments when 980b891bf9 her sadness slipped through.a9c0193845fa8819

‘Come to think of it… she’s still so thin. Does she not 7952108986 eat properly unless 97794377d3 she’s with me?’ba6f33d16aff5c69

A deep hole was carved d276272f85 in Lilliana’s heart right now. No matter how much 2c7cf7fd67 he tried, he knew 447ab72450 that he wouldn’t be eccfaa6942 able to fill that 355ec97cfe void.5821124c863f5501

Even with all his 0b00920bf6 efforts, the hole would a2a152a403 only be temporarily filled 29efdd51ca before opening up again.60cc801e40dfac01
