After leaving the detention center with a coolly indifferent expression, Liliana saw someone unexpected at the police station's entrance.
Her gaze inadvertently fell upon a familiar tall, imposing figure. She stopped in her tracks, her eyes flickering with a strange, unreadable emotion.
Linton stood there, leaning casually against a sleek, silver-gray Bentley. His head was bowed, his eyes cast downward, as if he had been waiting for her quietly all this time.
Though they were separated by a considerable distance, it was as if a psychic connection sparked between them.
The moment Liliana appeared, he slowly lifted his head. His eyes locked onto hers, and for a moment, he seemed frozen.
Linton’s thin, sculpted lips pressed together. It had been some time since she'd kicked him out, and seeing her again now felt like it had been an eternity.
"...Liliana."
His handsome, sharp features suddenly tensed. He spoke cautiously, testing the waters. "I..."
Liliana’s long lashes fluttered. She watched him for a moment, then, with one hand on her lower back and the other supporting her swollen belly, she started walking quickly toward him.
Linton’s dark pupils constricted. Her approaching him willingly was so unexpected he seemed almost stunned by the honor.
In fact, his first thought was that she was still angry and was coming over to slap him.
The tall man almost instinctively crouched down, a conditioned reflex to make it easier for her to reach his face.
Liliana stopped dead in her tracks.
She couldn't help but twitch her lips, utterly speechless.
Anyone else might have been confused by Linton's bizarre behavior, but after years of a love-hate relationship that started in their childhood, she knew exactly what he was doing.
Liliana found herself wondering.
Did she really seem that violent?
...
Well, fine.
