Evie let out a sles re Christmas in three months

“What’s so funny?” he asked

“MmIt’s just thatyou’re not so cold and unapproachable as I thought you were The first ti your appearance, and there was an invisible air around you that pushed everyone away”

It was because he ith her But Ren hid the real reason behind a chuckle “You’re the sauess I didn’t have the right to say so that she was also the sa others away from her because she didn’t want the attachment It would only be a hindrance in the future

He just wanted to live the lifestyle he wanted without worrying about money, save his parents and have the power to protect his faainst threat and blackhts that he slightly flinched when Evie’s voice rang in his ears

“We’re here”
