Ophelia entered the chamber, only to freeze in surprise.
She had been happy to spend time with her mother after finally being reunited with her. But at the same time, she had been avoiding one particular person.
And now, that very person was sitting beside her mother.
He was Noah Eldritch, he ex fiance.
Her mother had called her here, saying that she wanted to talk about something important. Ophelia had assumed they would be alone.
She had been wrong. Noah was sitting calmly beside Akari on the bed, his frost-blue eyes fixed on her.
They were slightly different from Akari's clear blue eyes, but there was something strangely familiar about them.
Ophelia took a slow breath and forced herself to calm down. Then she slowly walked toward them.
Once she reached the bed, she looked at her mother.
"Mother, you asked me to come here. What did you want to talk to me about?"
Akari inhaled deeply.
