Chapter 56: Reyna

Zen at the girl crying in his arms with a look of guilt.

"Reyna…"

"Hic- Everyone said that you might not even return… I didn't believe them! I knew… I knew you'd come back!"

Overwhelmed with emotions, Zen returned the hug, pulling her close to him.

He gently kissed her on the forehead.

"I'm sorry for worrying you."

Reyna buried her head in Zen's chest, enjoying the sound of his heartbeat.

"I-I know you weren't at fault for this… But… Don't do that again! I don't want to lose you!"

*SSSIIIPPP*

Everyone around the table sipped tea while enjoying the spectacle they put on.

They all treated the event as a good source of entertainment.

Realizing they were being watched, Zen's face flushed red as he whispered something into Reyna's ear.

"Hieeeee?"

She raised her head and noticed everyone staring at her.

Reyna's entire face went red.

She promptly got back up on her feet after reluctantly parting with Zen.
