Chapter 160: Secret Place to Hide

Ririna was afraid to make a move and, at the same time, compelled to run and hide. She was starting to regret her decision not to wait for Eli and dragging Aoi with her. She fought for self-control and forced herself to move closer to her companion. She could not let him be harmed because of her.

With great concentration, Aoi was able to take Ririna at the back door of the greenhouse away from the main house. It was better for the two of them to retreat than to face the intruder head to head. They reached the back door, and he twisted the knob very slowly, trying to make less sound as much as possible. The door made a soft groaning noise as he opened it.
