Since Dylan said this, Devin could only nod, "... Oh, all right." Then he called a maid to accompany Valerie out, and he sat down on the sofa again.
Savannah glanced gratefully at Dylan.
Several minutes after Valerie's departure, Savannah found an excuse for going out too.
***
Valerie, accompanied by the maid, strolled slowly through the garden.
Suddenly, in the front of the path, Savannah appeared, and she stared straight at her.
Valerie paused. She did not expect that her cousin would take the initiative to find her, and she had never seen her cousin look at her in such a cold, regardless manner.
Savannah used to be gentle and timid.
If the predatory society was a big forest, Savannah was a deer standing aloof from worldly strife.
She didn't have such cold and fine eyes even when Devin broke up with her.
An involuntary shudder passed over Valerie.
Savannah was slowly approaching her.
