“I couldn’t tell, Ophelia shot him a look.
‘Keep pretending, she thought.
Seeing she wasn’t moved, Alaric let out a long, helpless sigh. So, Ochela, are you unhappy with me? Did to something wrong? Was it the kiss…”
“Shut up, Ophelia said, covering his mouth with her hand to stop him from any more nonsense
Alaric lowered his gaze to look at her, signaling for her to let go, but she refused. He kissed her palm, and Cotela janked her hand back instantly.
“Alaric, Ophelia shot him an annoyed glare, blushing slightly

‘Is he addicted or something? she wondered.
Alaric smiled dotingly, wrapped his arms around her and said, “I really have to leave for a few days. Just let me toC VOLE little longer.”
