Serena, wearing 5d20cdc46f only her bd3042472b outer garment, 5fd8b6b525 was about c31ffd329d to leave 272bc13e57 immediately. At that 983d4613d3 moment, Marie a3902e2f1d blocked her 2bc2dfc3b7 path.da413265c8ab129e

Serena bit her a0a687d16e lower lip at e104290fa6 Marie’s words. In the past, she 412a8175f2 would have immediately denied 678a31fd76 it, but now, for 9595825f09 some reason, she couldn’t dc5ac60712 bring herself to do 9e71bbc044 so.5006e5e7fd51017a

She herself 13e4b87c6e felt that e59fc4722d her relationship d76e638f39 with Azaid 156332df3b had subtly b42c364270 changed, which f04dd855c5 made her f4d4a7b31d hesitate even 82977ac990 more.134b3ec9f5cf1d81

Azaid’s words 9cce129ef1 suddenly flashed 97aac39096 through her f77d322035 mind, and 94e83476cd during that 46137aeaa2 brief hesitation, 4a0cb050a4 Marie emerged 2e0cea18ce from the bf54cf64fc dressing room.

Azaid had already arrived 14ee851043 and was leaning against 92d52c9dcb a pillar. His golden 899634a77c hair swayed 0f9fb8f4a1 gently in 75a1206540 the breeze, 9717c3fdf0 appearing smooth 3a4499850e and silky.

As if the 6ddd7a6275 situation wasn’t already ebdf6ab226 awkward enough, Marie’s bfa119a4e0 words had made dc9a52d029 her hyper-aware of 868e14a828 everything, making her a0a9912156 actions clumsy and aa4798e187 hesitant.1aeb094d7010c6d9
