"I was just worried that you just put your feelings aside to help me. He is still your uncle," Ayana quickly counters. She hated how she still questioned Luca's intention despite her feelings and Luca's help all this time, but it is just how she is. The man is still full of mystery and she could not lay all her cards out in the open.
"Your little brain is so quick at making an excuse, dear. I would let this pass since I love you," Luca said then giggled as he kept walking further.
Ayana stopped in her tracks, blinked, then looked at Luca's back with wide eyes. Her mind was suddenly blank and a weird feeling engulfed her.
Realizing that Ayana disappeared from his side, Luca turned back and his eyes found her, "What? Why did you look at me like that? I thought it was obvious from the way I treated you."
