Chapter 240 - Coping Mechanism (2/2)
"Of course, I don't mind," he replied softly "Take as much time as you need"
"Thank you" Emmelyn saw her hands in his and her mind was distracted by the difference in their sizes
Her hands were tiny compared to his If he took her hands like this, it felt like he was protecting her hands and not let anything touch them They were quite well hidden between his palms
She really liked his hands
They had callouses fro of his rough palht they were ?]
[My brother just died and all I could think about was his fucking hands?]
[Emmelyn, are you even human??]
Emmelyn subconsciously withdrew her hands fro?
She felt so guilty for thinking about such an unrelated thing when she was supposed to befor her brother
Mars was surprised by her action He looked at her with a confused expression and a hint of worry Why did she do that? He ondering
Did she hate him so much that she suddenly didn't want him to hold her hands?
Meanwhile, Emmelyn slowly realized that herabout her family's death and especially about Killian's murder earlier today Instead, it wandered to unis like their hands
Apparently, it was her coping mechanism Her mind just preferred to block out the sadness fros
Actually, that hat she had been doing after her tears went dry and she could no longer shed tears, before Mars entered this cha with an empty mind
"Honey do you hate ht by Emmelyn's treatment just now
If she really hated him because of Killian's death, Mars would be so disappointed and sad He did everything for her and even threay his honor for her sake
It would be heartbreaking on his part if Emmelyn didn't see how much he loved her and threw their love away because of her hatred for his family
Emmelyn shook her head hurriedly She just realized what happened and didn't want him to misunderstand
"No sorry, I don't mean it" She then added, "I didn't mean to push you away It was done out of reflex I was surprised by so"
"Ah okay" Mars looked at her attentively He was relieved to find that her eyes looked sincere
