The two froze at the same time when they heard those questions. Slowly, Selina stepped back from Gray while he cleared his throat awkwardly.
"We're doing nothing," Gray answered immediately.
"Y-Yeah, nothing," Selina added a second later.
"You were hugging!" Lily narrowed her eyes suspiciously while Eli simply blinked in confusion.
"We were discussing something important," Gray said with a completely straight face.
"In a hug?"
"Yes, Lily. Can't I hug Selina?" Gray rose a brow as he looked at her. Because of his answer, Selina almost laughed.
Meanwhile Lily just crossed her arms and looked at them with squinted eyes, "You two are so suspicious."
"Anyway," Gray shook his head and cleared his throat before quickly changing the topic, "next month is the start of your new school year already."
Selina immediately understood what he was trying to do and played along.
"Oh, right," she nodded. "Lily's entering middle school, isn't she?"
