They all fell silent.
Lilah's heart was racing. No one... No one had ever tried to defend her like that. No one... Had stood up against her family on her behalf.
Maybe it was because she never knew anyone to begin with and the only people she came in contact with were the ones in her household.
But... This feeling made her so happy that she could not contain her racing heart.
Kael, on the other hand, was furious.
Though he was glad that he had impressed Lilah because of how much her heart was racing and how her face was lightly flushed, he could not jubilate at the moment because there was still trash to take out.
To think this sweet and delicate flower had been living next to such a thick and dark thorn. She must've been poked severally.
He didn't want to bring up her past with her and make her reminisce on her painful memories but he wanted to know her better.
He wanted to know all she had gone through. He felt he would be able to understand better if he did.
