Viscount Zhou and Mason Nightshade's gazes clashed, sparks flying where their eyes met, until Aurelia appeared between them.
Almost simultaneously, the hostile sparks in their eyes vanished, replaced by tenderness.
"Aurelia..." Mason Nightshade raised his hand, wanting to touch Aurelia Shaw's hand, but as his fingers were about to brush her hair, he suddenly froze, his fingers stiffly bending before he cautiously touched her head.
Seeing her not refusing, for some reason, Mason Nightshade felt relieved and mocked himself for overthinking.
"Why are you here?" His tone was relaxed, as if it were a casual question.
Viscount Zhou tensed up completely. Mason Nightshade didn't know that Aurelia Shaw was already aware of his rebirth. Perhaps now he could still playact in front of Aurelia Shaw, but if she found out...
No one knew what would happen.
