Capítulo 285: A pre-wedding talk is more important than the wedding itself

"I don't see the brat today," Natha remarked as we ate our lunch, and the corner of my mouth made an instantaneous dive. 

"Jade went out again after talking with Ignis, I don't know where it is."

Natha raised his brow and leaned on the table, reaching out to stroke my cheek lightly. There was a teasing smile on his lips as he addressed my curt reply. "What is this? Is my sweetheart lonely because his baby bird doesn't latch on anymore?"

I pursed my lips and stuffed my mouth with the citrus salad, letting the tanginess spread to accompany the sourness in my heart. I knew that sometimes I would leave the little bird by itself when I was doing, umm, adulting with Natha, so perhaps I had no right to grumble when Jade had fun with its new friend and only came to me for snacks.
