Chapter 98: Battlefield (1)

Jasmine spent the rest of the day reading and only took a few breaks when she needed to go to the bathroom. She unknowingly skipped lunch and only ate dinner when Rosetta looked like Dairon would kill her if she didn't get her to eat. After gobbling up a few bites, she rushed back to her room and continued reading. Unfortunately, sleep crept in before she was even halfway through the third book. So she did the only thing she could think of; she went to the kitchen to brew herself a cup of coffee.

Dairon had returned and was sitting at the kitchen table. For whatever strange reason, he was using the kitchen table as his work space and seemed to be sketching something.

"Hey, you are back." She waved in his direction.

He looked up and smiled at her. "Did you miss me too much? I knew you were fond of me even if you kept denying it."
