Kapitel 196: Capture the Heart: Part-8

Aqualina Naiadia's POV

'H-Huh? What did he just say?' I was completely taken aback, not understanding what I had just heard. It felt surreal, almost like a dream.

I thought my ears were playing tricks on me. Maybe it was my dizzy mind or the overwhelming exhaustion taking over, but I must have misheard him.

I was sure about it!

"W-What did you just say?" I asked carefully, my voice trembling, wondering why my heart suddenly tightened as if I subconsciously hoped it was all just my imagination.

Yet,

"I... I think... I fell for Aria Zephyr," he said with a lovely, sincere expression that I had always believed was reserved solely for me.

But now, it was directed at someone else.

"..." My eyes stared blankly at his shy expression.

The expression that I thought was meant only for me was now meant for s-someone else. My chest felt like it was constricting painfully... I-I lowered my eyes, unable to meet his gaze.
