Aurelia Shaw paused her hand from placing the flowers, staring blankly at Kai Nightshade. Kai snorted, "What are you looking at? If you want to leave, just leave. I, this old man, never intended to have you serve me. I know you young folks have grown up, and don't want to bother with us old people anymore."
"No..." For the first time, Aurelia felt at a loss for words, overwhelmed with emotions in her chest, unable to speak a single word, and lowered her head like she did something wrong. She picked up an apple and quietly began peeling it, "I'll peel an apple for you to eat."
"All you do is peel apples for me..." Kai muttered under his breath, reminiscing about the day Mason Nightshade came to talk to him and also peeled an apple for him. What Mason said that day was right; Chu Hua's death was his own choice, and no one else could be blamed for it. Even if there were secrets about what happened back then, no one forced him to jump off the building to end his life.
