Chapter 344: When did I become so cruel...

'Wait, what did I do?'

Adrian stood frozen, staring at Aria's back as her cold words echoed in his mind. He couldn't shake off the shock of her sudden shift in mood.

'Wait...'

'I did something...'

But as the silence stretched, something clicked in his mind—he remembered their promise. They had promised each other to face everything together, without hiding anything from them.

Adrian sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. "Right. We promised not to hide things... Sorry."

Lessy and Tessa exchanged amused glances before letting out quiet chuckles. The tension lightened just a bit, and Adrian shifted awkwardly, feeling their eyes on him.

Lessy stepped forward, a playful smirk on her face. "Well, since you seem so lost, let me explain." She glanced at Tessa before turning back to Adrian. "Aria contacted us about a week ago and told us about your 'unlucky' day. You know, when things went downhill for you?"
