    Jeremyon was at a loss e4970860df for words, unsure where to d83a6e34a7 begin explaining this misunderstanding. There had never been any 5935640740 coercion in his relationship with da6e122ed3 Lilliana. Everything he had done 976ba972c5 was by his own 1ed1bbe0c6 choice.4fbfacd1d7259821

    Back when Lilliana d0f4662589 was pushing him 3e8394e2e5 away, I only 76160aa417 knew that the 0ba2c5b8aa two of them 2743289f61 had been dating c8ac1b8f8a regularly.1812b3d335c1a35c

    I was aware b309028b91 that the contractual d9c264b18c relationship they once c9b8e8873b had, based on 59a4587348 the premise of 9972267917 marriage, had ended d77150aaab for sure… But 83a0b86817 whether they continued 345b628d82 to date as 361f65ab25 a real couple fc4abff603 afterward or were af493c441f just flirting, I 1b3c431db8 didn’t know.a1dd60bb6562c002

    So, I simply c863a11bd5 assumed they were 92cf6a0b3c in the early 2d94fbf254 stages of dating. After all, both Liliana and 8033468056 Jeremion were looking at each 82c344b9c5 other quite differently than before.7d8627f7b50830c7
