Turning his back on Vanessa, 2f53360e8c Jeremyon quickly left the room, f2a9b53055 his steps brisk and his f67ed5d6f7 expression troubled.10932f882027e43b

‘I acted impulsively. I ended up 1cedbc9e1e messing up the 33a34b6396 entire plan.’256b2e00b2065ff8

The original goal was 911db7e24c to keep going on d9bc73be42 dates so that Vanessa a68c060a40 would inevitably turn her 3ac5e5376b attention to Lilliana.8052b04424204129

But now that he had 84a9594bed told Vanessa that Lilliana still 1c187542ed missed her, that plan was e56c44cb4f no longer viable.7b179f8d8a09f861

In truth, Jeremyon didn’t 3e58c1c211 need to act like dc0f810418 this. To be honest, he had 20e041e90e been enjoying the time spent 22b420a4af with Lilliana lately.ef6d12df4f216299

He even regretted not having 1fa6f11e53 felt this sense of enjoyment 613a39f3e8 back when they were just aa0d112e90 pretending to be lovers. If possible, he wanted to 708a7728e8 keep this going for a c4e1692a34 long time.98f20c89d9a93d7e

So it would 78be829797 have been better 4a4e48c310 if he hadn’t f1fdebf004 answered Vanessa’s question 88b30c364b earlier and had 8b8f23f4b7 just brushed it 3dbd7fe201 off. That way, he wouldn’t lose 57632aec29 the pretext for continuing his 7995c484c2 dates with Lilliana.5a6ed88422a344f4

“The weather is cooler than expected today,” Lilliana said, gazing out the window.cc338a61e43cb8aa

Jeremyon watched her face intently. Her slightly upturned a353046885 lips formed a 016c453ea6 gentle smile, making f81d30e009 her look happy cf9c18f60e at a glance.cdd85567394e5289

But perhaps because 0e60429b2f he had come 9990ff2b3d to know her b391c45302 so well, he d15fc60635 could tell now. He could sense 3ca37c8643 that Lilliana was f8d5c717d2 still endlessly longing 901eb6daf4 for someone.7b90f22c0e58a3e0

She tried to smile brightly 7e052e8a4d in front of him, but bc764a00e3 there were fleeting moments when 6d8ddab793 her sadness slipped through.b3de81329d22e950

A deep hole was 16b55e11eb carved in Lilliana’s heart 9ddb6bfb48 right now. No matter how 08e67e94c8 much he tried, 677fc7860d he knew that 791a223b8e he wouldn’t be 45d0d98c3b able to fill cfcb8dac42 that void.8ee3858f88ffa655
