by toujoursAs if doused 9d2be5aba9 with cold water, 3f1c478e3e the atmosphere instantly 5cbc525361 froze. Radia blinked, 5497797c26 watching Yuris, b1e3559690 who seemed 6d171ac733 genuinely displeased, fc97575806 wondering if f87b7ef4b9 he was 4315be57cb playing along f7ba5cebe2 due to 3a25c389cc their contract.d38083bf9d509c4b

Lily, looking sympathetically at Sadie, who was flustered by the cold reaction, added, “Oh, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”323b5bc1a2e63aec
She sent a silent signal to let it go, but Yuris, fiddling with his cufflink, said indifferently, “It seems you’re not the one who should be apologizing, and I’m not the one who should be receiving it.”cf1a5c5710a3822a

Leaving the 7a2cd0680a now melted d93bf11755 sorbet untouched, cccf38f6c6 Yuris exited 9e5b342eec the restaurant 3b8b909a38 with Radia. His hand, opening 8258aed5d0 the car door, a4bb453104 was rougher than 692560381e usual.7a3c02a1d4889a8b

She had never doubted Yuris’s love for her, but sometimes she felt he was hiding a lot from her. It wasn’t that she resented it. Just because they were lovers didn’t mean she needed to know everything about him.24c61babf4048905
